My decorative and design energy is fired up for the New Year.
I’ve spent the last few days checking things out fresh and new for 2013 aka the design and home decor trends of 2013.
As we all know, fresh and new is not always fresh and new.
You may spot more than one renewed, refreshed, repurposed, and/or reinvented idea from decor trends pasts.
That’s the great thing about good trends- they possess the quality, look, and decorative chops to become even better the second, third or hundredth time around when done very well.
Like, love or hate them- the decor trends and forecasts are in.
Color is color once again, a romantic renaissance is coming back around and look what blast from the past is set to lead the way- the big brass band of beauty.
Layering for warmth also applies to inside warmth, comfort, and coziness.
Layers of color on color, texture on texture, pattern on pattern- pile it on!
What could be easier than spot updates?
Adding lux linens and throws in seasonal fabrics, patterns and colors will infuse the look, the feel of comfort, and softened impressions to the space.

You’ll hit a trending trifecta with this wood, metallic, and gold gilded drift wood sconce from Clayton Gray Home.

Wood accents, meticulous metals including going for the bold and gold, texture, pattern, and shades of green will make an impact on the interior design and decor radar for 2013.
Antiques as pieces of art will serve as focal points and conversation pieces.
I’m thrilled to see the encouraged use of antiques as art coming around.
Last week as I was viewing Million Dollar Decorators I was cheering on Jeffrey Alan Marks.
His comments regarding the use of antiques as the final touch of personality in decor made me an instant follower of his train of thought.
Unique.,
One-of-a-kind.
Unusual.
Whimsy.
Conversation pieces.
Yes, yes and YES!
If only one piece brings this to the space then I say bring it!
Can you tell I’m a huge fan of antiques as art?
It’s a new year full of new trends. I’m definitely inspired!
Are you?
