Trends 2010

HOT COLOURS - Hot accents!! navy, gray, lavender, soft blues, and WHITE!! My fave of all time... ORANGE BABY!!
Rustic Modern - natural country elements mixed in with your modern components. Think Eighteen Karat, www.eighteenkarat.com
Classic Revival - A twist of the eighties elegance pared down in a soft palette of gray or is it grey?, and pale hues of blue and lavender.
European Style - hits of punchy colour combined with suave european or indonesian finds. Layer things that you already have and just have a blast! Nothing needs to match!
Enviromentally Friendly - enviro products & going "green" is hot. Wall papers are moving back to seagrass and naturals of every sort.
Old World Glamour - high style with lots of plush fabrics and patterns. Think subdued florals and classic colour combinations. Utilize wall paper but not too much! Simple tone on tone damasks are okay but stay away from the dramatics.
