2007 Home Design Trends

This year will see the introduction of spicy color combinations in hues that warm the soul. The coppers and metallic colors that stretched from 2005 through 2006 are fading in popularity. This does not mean a full overhaul. A quick deep cranberry dry brush or sponge over the deep coppers from 2005 will bring lamps and trim up to date, and give your accents added luster and depth.

Color trends in 2007 contain palettes that work independently to create a subtle backdrop. The 'statement colors' create the perfect backdrop for home furniture. The industry is taking into consideration advances in furniture design and textures. In response, they are developing home design techniques that frame and show-off fine furniture.

The spicy color combinations mix hues that warm the soul, just like comfort foods. The stress on elegance and artistic tastes is giving way as homeowners are turning back the clock, returning to a simpler time, and a 'hearth and home' feel.

A perfectly decorated room will envelop the occupants, relaxing them, and creating an oasis in today's high stress, ambitious, dog-eat-dog world.

The color palettes include biscuit and wheat neutrals that contain no traces of the beige tones, which haunt most home decorators. Coca brown and pumpkin orange replace beige and burgundy. Salmon gives way to cinnamon apple pie.

Biscuit and wheat neutrals, cocoa brown, pumpkin orange and cinnamon apple pie, are just a few of the comfort colors that will wrap your room with warmth and promote a stress-free space. Flooring is dark, rich mahogany browns and pale, non-descript colors.

Children's rooms and kitchens have shed their primary colors and are taking on muted hues in mustard yellow with robin egg blue trim. Like the coppers and gold trims, burgundy rooms can be given a treatment of deep plumb, rich red, to bring them up to date and add a touch of elegance.

These colors lend themselves gracefully to white furniture and are a perfect choice for out-dated, white, bathroom renovations. Any room with deep, rich walls, can be perfected with the elegance of black and white. The black and white creates a stark contrast to rooms that normally fade, or are overpowered by dominant rooms with powerful color schemes.

Polished metal is the only hint of modern. The overall theme reflects culture's interest in the environments. This is seen in bold, black flower motifs on the wall, to plumb folk-art stenciled vines. However, simplicity is the rule. The wall stencils should almost take on an arc deco feel.

Put away the clutter and ostentatious artwork. While the trend is not turning toward country designs, an artistically designed quilt will fit with the new designs better than large artwork, or expensive figurines. Homemade and crafts are not part of the 2007 design trends. Instead, look for elegant and sophistication artwork that accent, but do not overpower the theme of comfort and simplicity. Remember, artwork, draperies, and rugs should sink into the background, choose pieces that lets the eye focus on the furniture.

If you are in the market for furniture, then black and white, in rich sophisticated fabrics is a wise choice. Even though furniture is the focus in 2007, do not misunderstand this to mean that we are looking for antiques, grandiose furniture.

Keep the theme, comfort and warmth, in mind when looking for furniture. Simple lines, elegant woodwork, offset by bold fabrics.

Bring the theme of hearth and home back into the home. Your home is no longer a show place to impress peers and business associates. The home trends of 2007 are designed to let you recapture the essence of the home.
