Interior décor trends follow the fashion world even more now than ever in history.  As clothing displays more beading, feather trim, this year’s hot decorative ruffles, and many other embellishments it is appearing in furniture and home decorating items, too. Light fixtures, accent furniture such as tables, upholstery and many accessories are displaying the latest fashion trends. Here is a must have list of some of the current and expected trends for 2009 and into 2010.

COLORS: Bright yellow, grassy green and orange are appearing to be strong color choices but so is the new neural palette of softer more earth-inspired tones like taupe, sea green, blue and even gray and purple.  We are not done with browns yet and they are accented with earthy reds and warm grays. Just like designer clothing accessories metallic tones will be everywhere.

ECONOMIC INFLUENCE: Expect to hear phrases like “recession conscious decorating” this year with the economic downturn. Consumers are still investing in their homes, and a lot of that reason is because it is being used more as their main place of entertainment. Expect to see more people buying smaller decorative items and good quality accent pieces like those that Amish craftsman have built for decades. These pieces are great backdrops for the hot trends in hand embroidered textiles and beaded trims. True hand crafted furnishings highlight the latest artsy, bohemian flair in the market place.

You may not be buying a houseful of furniture but it is very economical to update your interiors with small items or one great investment piece rather than a complete redo. These decorative accent pieces like tables or side chairs are being billed as the must-have investment pieces of 2009. Throw in some shiny, highly embellished, metallic accents on pillows and lamps and you add today’s flash instantly.

Organic Interior Designs: Throwing back to the days of the Arts and Crafts, Mission, Craftsman and even Modern enthusiasts the trends are heading towards richer, more organic forms. Happily the furniture world is seeing more textures and more depth in solid wood finishes. Hand built pieces made from durable hickory, oak and maple, custom stained is a welcome change from prior trends.

Eclectic Interiors: In 2009 modern and traditional are merging to create a more interesting interior with a very personal statement. Don’t be afraid to mix the precise and  straight lines of modern with the more rounded and warm lines of traditional furniture. Elements of modern and traditional are becoming more blended to create an interesting, and meaningful interior environment statement for your Amish inspired home.
