2012 Home Decor Trends

1.12.2012

As each new year begins we are met with the inevitable changes that occur as a result of not only resolutions but industry-set trends as well. Whether they be in fashion, hair, or home decor, upcoming trends can often be an uncomfortable transition, but once made, surprisingly satisfying. As we welcome the new year in these early weeks, I'm exploring the newest trends in home decor today on Houzz.

1. Quirky accents: C.Wonder horse & buggy plate 2. Classic elements: Arteriors bar cart 3. Blending contemporary + natural elements: Crate & Barrel tatum table lamp 4. Bold and abstract prints: Ocean Ikat IV by Chariklia Zarris 5. Patterned pieces: West Elm dhurrie ottoman 6. Over-sized accessories: Crate & Barrel starburst mirror

Such eclectic pieces! I'm more of a traditionalist/shabby chic enthusiast, but I do love small touches of an interesting pattern or modern line. Love the beverage cart!

Christina Borders said...

I love these pieces! I was just blogging about hunting for apartment accessories so this is perfect timing! :)

My favorite picks here are the West Elm ottoman and the sunburst mirror!

I think I could fit all of the above into my home! I esp love the ikat print :-)

Even though they feel trendy and of the moment, I really think they pieces you picked could also be classics. I mean, who doesn't love a great bar cart?!
