INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2013...

Interior design trends come and go just as in fashion. However, interior trends tend to last a little longer since the average consumer doesn't revamp their space as they do their wardrobes according to designers' dictates. Although a lover of the classics, I do like to stay on trend by infusing a little current flair into my designs.

So what you can expect to see from interior designers in the upcoming year or so? Here are a few of my favs:

BRASS

Not your grandmother's brass. New or re-imagined designs are a fab contrast against the reclaimed wood finishes of the past few years...

BRIGHT PAINT COLOR

You can't be afraid of color with the return of this lively trend...

GLOSS

High gloss paint, esp. on ceilings and lacquer finishes on furniture & accessories...

NEW VS. OLD

The use of antiques refurbished with new fabrics and finishes...

EMPHASIS ON ART

The lines of design and art are blurred with the use of graphic & bold prints esp. florals and collection wall arrangements...

Here's a room that combines all those trends. Doesn't she look so HAPPY to be there...

Happy trend spotting...

Peace and Blessings,

Tammy
