Have you seen any articles yet on the Decorating Trends for 2010?
I was reading the Sunday paper, starting with the Homes section as usual – the actual news is too depressing and boring:). And I read this very interesting article on Decorating Trends for 2010. The article was tiltled -
“Show Your True Colours” in the Sunday Times, Perth and was by Lisa Amphlett
I don’t know if it appeared in your Eastern States papers.
So these are the trends that were predicted by the professionals in various fields that Lisa interviewed.
Wallpaper will increase in popularity, especially 3d designs, retro patterns and where you can have your own picture made into wallpaper (I like that idea).

Floors. Firstly carpets will see an increased use of patterns that have been inspired by vintage designs in soft, tonal shades (I can’t see my using this idea, in a rug yes but not for carpet).
Rugs will also have a lot of pattern. Expect to see Missoni style patterns, colourful stripes & geometrics.
Furniture will see a greater use of wood finishes being used, especially Scandinavian style & beech tones. The furniture will also have softer edges. They are also predicting more colour to be used in furniture pieces (This would be interesting and unusual to see).
Outdoor furniture will be minimalistic with woven materials increasing in popularity.
Appliances they are predicting that Black is the new Black (but then we already knew that on the Decorating Forum:D)
Paint was discussed with Bauwerk paints who see dark & smoky blues and also pale blues. In addition moody, dirty and light mauves.
I would add these observations to the article.
Pantone (an American company famous for predicting colour trends) says Turquoise is the colour for 2010.
However, Dulux and many others I have read would agree with Bauwerk Paints that blues and purples will be more popular. I have read many times all shades of Purple are the colour for 2010. There is also a growing trend to use greys as neutral colours.
Specialising in Bathrooms I would also add expect to see more 3d tiles and surprisingly more rustic, earthy tiles.
So what do you think?
Would you use any of these in your home?
Can you add to the list of Decorating Trends for 2010?
