Styles in clothing change, and so do styles in home decor. Home decor forecasters are predicting new interior design trends in color, style and fabrics. If you thinking about updating your home decor, a small change such as adding a piece of furniture or bringing in a new color scheme can make a big difference in the appearance of a room.
Green Fabrics and Upholstered Chairs
Natural fabrics like organic cotton and leather are trending this year for home decor. People looking for green, non-toxic materials to fit into an eco-conscious home are opting for sophisticated natural materials that work well with the new darker color schemes. As an added bonus, natural upholstery also tends to be more durable. Florals and oversized prints on upholstered chairs are popular, and expect to see intricate detailing around the seats.
Metallic Touches
Decorators predict that metallics will continue to play an important role in home decor. From cocktail tables with interesting designs to large-scale pendant lighting and floor lamps, expect to see some silver tones along with burnished gold and especially copper.

Natural Elements

Proper lighting can set the mood of a room and highlight the beauty of your furniture. Elaborate chandeliers are making a comeback, especially crystal chandeliers in the dining room. Other lighting trends are fixtures that bring in elements of nature with metals in an antique finish, soft illumination of wrought iron pendant lights and modern takes on the classic outdoor lantern.

Pastels, especially sophisticated tones of pinks and lavenders, are also becoming popular. Look for textured throw pillows with multiple fabrics like linen and velvet along with intricate designs and updated colors.
