Interior design trends

I've been a little slack on posting for the blog....it's been over a month! To be honest, I've been busy and I have not found anything worth posting about during the past couple of weeks. However, I have noticed a few design trends that have been popping up on-line and locally in the retail stores. I thought these current trends would be worth writing about because they are totally opposite from my usual design style...I might make a few adjustments in my space at Sleepy Poet! Here are some of the trends....

1. Circular shapes with 80's colors.
Have you noticed the furniture shapes becoming more curved? Also, the golds, pinks and teals showing up everywhere...from lighting, rugs and furniture.

like this one in my dorm room many years ago!

2. Marble.
This has been popular for awhile in kitchen countertops but now it is showing up on coffee tables, bathroom counters, etc.

Sleek modern floating marble countertops for the bath.

3.  Gold accents.

I have mentioned this before...gold is hot right now. Gold and brass fixtures, lighting, furniture and hardware are extremely popular.

4. Boho.

This is my favorite trend! The bohemian organic look has been on the trend with terracotta pottery, macramé wall hangings and wood furniture. Love this style because it usually involves a curated look with found vintage items!
