Every January, the design community is abuzz with what the newest design trends will be. The color of the year can be seen in everything from fashion to home decor, and style trends can be seen in home accessories and furniture.
While I try not to focus too much on trends for my clients, every room could use a touch of what’s hot, exciting and new.
Some of the biggest trends that I have seen for 2015 are:
Bold saturated colors, as is evident in Pantone’s color of the year (Marsala)
Navy blue will also be big this year
Brass has been a hot trend for the past year or so, and I see it staying a while longer. You can check out a recent blog post about why “Brass Is Beautiful”
Mixing metals is also a hot trend. Golds and silvers are co-existing beautifully in today’s high fashion homes
Traditional style is also making a come back. People are ready for comfy cozy over stark and contemporary
Smokey glass furniture and accessories seem to be on trend as well
So which three trends am I really into?
You can see from one of my recent projects, that I am in love with brass. I don’t mean the brass or gold from the 80’s. Today’s brass is rich and beautiful and add so much warmth to a room.
I am also really into mixing metals. Here is a vignette in my dining room and you can see that I have combined gold, silver and pewter effortlessly. Here I added a silver chest of drawers, a gold lamp and sparkle star accessory, and the pewter frames around the art.
This is another project I recently completed and you can see the deep navy paint color of the dining room. I had to talk my client into going this dark, but she loved it when it was all done. She loves her traditional style, so I gave her a fresh take on traditional using her existing furniture.
I have a few projects that I will be doing in my home this year, and re-doing my powder room is high on the list. It is a really small room but I will be going super bold with black walls….yes, you heard that right, black walls! I will also be painting the ceiling gold and switch out the plumbing and light fixtures and the mirror to brass. That will definitely add an elegant feel to the powder room.

This picture that I came across on Pinterest via Good HouseKeeping is my inspiration for my powder room makeover. The salon style art wall is an unexpected touch, but I love it!
