Design Trends of 2013

Trends come and go the change yearly, monthly, and weekly at times. Some people love to follow the trends and others shy away from them and do their own thing. Trends come in as people start exploring more ideas to build off of what they already have, because they want to make them even better. At the moment the design trends of 2013 are as follows:

Nowadays people are getting more and more into the trend of going green not just with their designs, but in their ways of living. It is just something that starts with the design of an individual’s home and businesses. People are more and more trying to incorporate solar panels and energy star appliances in to their spaces. They are also trying to use recycled and more durable materials such as bamboo and cork. This is something that has been around for a while, but people are trying to use it more and more as time goes on.

A design trend in color is to mostly use neutrals such as beige or creme and then add some hints of accent colors. Pantone was named emerald as the color of the year. There is also a trend in embellishing walls to give a texture to the room.

"For 2013, we are working towards capturing a happy and meaningful life at home," says Sue Kim, Valspar Color Strategist, who considers the newest influences in clothes, food, and interiors when creating color palettes. "People want to mold their home into a space that reflects ingenious ways to face the realities of the moment." (http://www.interiordesign.net)
