What’s On Trend Projections

Home decor accessories, accents, and furnishings inspiration is everywhere as reflected in these what’s on trend projections for the new year.

The criteria for the what’s on trend choices I’ve selected to show and tell with you is based on styles currently catching my eye- ones I believe may just have some degree of staying power.

Trends serve as a barometer of tastes, often fluctuating with the we’re loving this at the moment style.

To avoid decorating regret or budget busting, adopt a less is more attitude when it comes to what’s on trend.

Your good taste and impeccable sense of personal style will guide you to the trend(s) with the staying power that best speaks to your decorating style.

Open shelving is on both the in and out for 2020 list.

Being from the south, I’ve seen my fair share of daybeds over the years.

On a sleeping porch.

On a veranda.

In a center hall.

Daybeds have evolved in style, moving away from strictly utilitarian to accent of versatile sophistication.

Bringing the outdoors inside is sizing up to be a big trend.

Faux plants will always have their place, but you simply can’t beat the look of real.
