Design Trends- On The Rise Or On Their Way Out?

February 5, 2013 By vdodson Leave a Comment

It’s hard to know what’s going to stick around, come back around or fizzle out for good.  So weigh in on what you think about some of the popular styles right now.

Moroccan Poufs are great for extra seating or footrests.  They are exotic and modern and come in any color you could possibly want.  They’re sleek with a bit of flourish to keep them from looking too busy and will go with any style décor.  Are they here to stay?

Wood wallpaper reached it’s height in about 2010 when it started showing up everywhere.  It’s simple, symmetrical and classic but will it end up like wood paneling and be the bane of every new home buyer’s existence in a few years?

Keeping along with wallpaper, what do you think about big graphic patters?  Most are inspired by midcentury designs but they’re already riding on their second wind.  Will their third time be equally as charming?

Egg chairs are coming back as well.  When they first made their appearance in 1990 they didn’t catch on very quickly but lately have been making a splash.  Will their futuristic look keep them around for years to come?

The starburst mirror can be found in several homes now.  You can find several DIYs tutorials on how to create your own.  They first demanded attention back in the 1940s and have gotten mixed reviews this time around.  Are they going to be coming back again or are they just shining one last time before they burn out?

A growing trend is period-piece rooms.  Designers create a space to look like a freeze frame out of your favorite show or movie but in 20 years will that room still be as appealing as it is now when you’re watching your favorite series set in the 1950s or in the years leading up to WWI or will you have moved on?

Not too long ago we were seeing birds in everything from the nursery to sophisticated dining rooms but lately they’ve been replaced by the fluttering butterfly.  Will this trend stay, will the bird pick them off until they, again, rule the nest, or will something else come to take their place?

Fake taxidermy has been making headway lately (pun intended) but will it’s funny and ironic style stay around for good or do they have a limited shelf life?

Wall decals are great for people who can’t or don’t want to commit to wallpaper or aren’t creative and crafty.  They’re a lot less expensive than art and can be found in anything your imagination can dream up.  Are they going to stick around or will they slowly peel out of the limelight?
