The right accessories play a big part in successfully decorated rooms

It is better to have no accessories than the wrong accessories

Trends are constantly changing. The home décor items in vogue now were defined two or three years ago by designers, colorists and manufacturers.

Trends come and go at a faster rate than they did in the past. Many trends can be happening at the same time. In the seventies the trend was brown and orange in the eighties the trend was grey and pink.

The International Color Authority forecast ‘Tangerine’ and ‘Shady Violet’ as the key colors to lead trends for 2010. Other colors they predict to be in vogue are ‘Radiant Orange’, ‘Floral Red’, ‘Punchy Pink’, ‘Saffron’, ‘Delicate Ivory’ and ‘Contemplative Green’.
