I love keeping an eye out for trends and hot topics in the design world. Here's a round up of my favorite design trends from 2012:
-Metallics were everywhere. Gold took a serious liking toward the latter half of the year. This girl isn't mad about that!
-Peach, tangerine, blush pink...whatever name you want to give the pretty hue, it was one of the main players in color this year.
-Gallery walls galore! I'm not sure about you, but I loved seeing the different curations of gallery walls. From themed photos, black and white, to family photo galleries-- I love them. I don't think this is going away anytime soon.
-Ombre here, ombre there, ombre everywhere. The beginning half of 2012 was filled with all things ombre. This cake image being one of my favorites.
-White walls took over interior design and allowed furniture, art and architecture to shine.
-There are no rules anymore. 2012 taught us it's okay to paint kitchen cabinets. I especially love this minty color.
-Long head tables or "king" tables became very popular in event and wedding design.
-Bold wallpaper and flooring were back in action.
-Pretty dessert tables was one of my favorite trends of 2012. There's a little something for everyone that way :)

ReplyDeleteI am certainly on the gold band wagon, I cannot get enough!!
ReplyDeleteHappiest new year to you, Michaela!!
I loved ombre and the metallics! I hope those don't go anywhere soon.
ReplyDeleteThis are all simply gorgeous. But I'm thrilled that white walls are in now! I have always loved white walls and have refused to paint any of the walls in our house since purchasing it in May!! Okay, maybe I'm just afraid to make a commitment ;)
ReplyDeleteWhite walls! I've always loved the look. With scrapped wood floors and accents of black, tan, and gray... i die.
ReplyDeleteBeen loving the light colored walls & white furniture. So chic! :-) Happy 2013!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to go with the gold trend. Of the wallpaper trend. Or heck I'll run with them all! I think 2012 was a pretty stellar year on the design front :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about a dessert table?!!
ReplyDeleteSo true on all of these! They were everywhere! I love the bold wallpaper. I wish we could have done some in E's room...if only we weren't moving!!
ReplyDeleteI love the glamour that gold brings to a room and on the other end of the scale Im also a sucker for the girly look with groups of pretty vases and mixed flowers :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorites were the gold tones and ombre. That cake is too gorgeous. Must try that sometime!!
