There are several distinct trends in interior design and decorating that seem to gain popularity this year:
- pastels - pastel colors stood out and showed up in the new spring collections of many home furniture and accessories brand during all the major design events this year and that is for a reason - they bring the calm and happy atmosphere in our homes that we are all looking for:
Maharani chest
- stripes - as we know, fashion and interior design have a lot in common. We are seeing a lot of stripes on catwalks this spring, so expect them to become the new fashion for your home, too, very soon:

Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti
Origo dinnerware for the Finnish manufacturer Iittala.
- copper was one of the big themes during Milan design week 2013 and probably will continue to be in fashion for long:
- reclaimed wood: recycling, re-purposing and reusing old furniture and home decor accessories will continue to be a hot trend in interior design this year, too:
PARADISO Kommode
-vintage mood and retro furniture:
Antique stool from Bloomingville
Flore
And finally one trend that I like very much - blurring the boundaries between indoors and the garden/patio is absolutely a booming trend for the last couple of years. With the summer just a few weeks away it is the right time to think of your outdoor retreat, even if this is just your balcony. With the proper furnishings and accessories it is not difficult to transfer the vacation atmosphere at home.
