Interior Design: DecoratingTrends for 2017

 

Kate Spade for Kravet

Does anyone else feel besides me feel as though they’ve been catapulted back to the 70s and 80s with the latest introductions in furniture, fabrics, and clothes?

Next year the 70s and 80s will continue to be on trend with their retro looks, flower power, graphic patterns and much more.

Organic looks and free form style also dominate the scene for next year in everything from furniture to wallcoverings.  Plus color forecasts for next year range from neutrals like the taupe color selected by Sherwin Williams to the bold amethsyt color picked by Benjamin Moore.

Lea Eiseman of Pantone, the most renowned color forecaster,  just named the  Color of the Year for 2017 so be prepared to see this color showing up everywhere from the home industry to fashion and technology.

 

 

 

One of the newer trends in furniture next year will be more bulbous less tailored upholstery and I’m not sure I’m a fan unless its a more tailored piece like shown above.

Another trend you’ll be seeing more of this year will be dramatic spaces like the one shown above along with interesting lighting options.
