2010 TrendsDo you want to know the hottest trends for your home in 2010?  Are you ready to throw out your outdated couch and lamp shade?  Take the advice of Jacksonville interior designer Judith Sisler Johnston, president of Sisler Johnston Interior Design and ASID Allied Member, and check out what’s hot and what’s not for 2010.

Colors. There is a revival in bright, primary colors for spring and interesting color combinations such as green, blue and orange, or red, brown, and blue combinations. Purple, in all its hues, is a favored choice in paint, upholstery and art. Animal prints are classic, and many are being introduced in non-traditional color ways.

Contrast. Accent pillows will feature ornamentation in stitching, beads and fringe, but the furnishings they sit on will have clean lines and natural fabric covers such as linen on refined, rustic wood pieces.

Natural and original. Permanent botanicals and greenery are moving toward the natural garden and spice variety instead of fussy, flowery designs. More people are purchasing original art as an investment instead of mass produced artwork.

With this new direction, several design trends appear to be on the way out in 2010, including:

2010 Home Trends

Quantity over quality. There will be less furniture and fewer, well-placed accessories.

Anything too shiny. From fabrics to furniture pieces, the finish materials are losing their sheen in favor of more subdued matte finishes.

Formality. Formality is being replaced with comfortable, relaxed style. Larger McMansions are being replaced with smaller, more efficient homes that focus on family living areas.

Matching. Coordinated bedding ensembles have given way to the hotel bedding model, which features lots of white and neutrals with occasional color accents in shams and pillows.
