Modern Home Decor Trends Of 2013

Whether you’re looking to give your home an updated feel or spruce it up to sell, you’ll find the latest modern decorating trends to be filled with color, rustic finishes and textures, while being kind to the environment.

Color Scheme

Color schemes for the coming year are focused on individuality and expressionism. Bringing your inner personality into the rooms in your house can help develop a unique living space. Shades to concentrate on this year include emerald green, turquoise, milky gray, soft pink and lilac. Emerald green is the leader of the pack in color this year, and it’s being used in homes and on the fashion runways.

Adding warmer shades of neutral colors to your home such as beige, black and white and blues which are subtle shades, can bring about peace and tranquility. Shades with warm reds, oranges and comforting yellow can help showcase the natural beauty of a home and allow the excitement of your life to shine through.

Furniture Update

Redecorating your home is an inexpensive way to change the look and feel of your living space. Trends typically reflect the latest social, cultural and political happenings in the world today, and the fashions in furniture and accessories are reflecting just that. Adding furniture with character and modernization can be simple by incorporating a trendy sofa and some chairs, end tables, and other accessories to complete the look. Some makers, like Lazar furniture, are concerned with the impact of global warming on the environment today and do everything they can to produce long-lasting furnishings. Their designs and materials have the least amount of impact on the world today and promote an aesthetically pleasing appearance and balance to your modern room.

Rustic Charm

Rustic woods, fabrics and furnishings aren’t just for your country cabin anymore. The outdoor look is ideal for a modernized home, and refurbished woods have multiple purposes. In addition to being salvageable and kind to the environment, you’ll find them to be rustic, clean and functional. They can also be incorporated into contemporary designs for your floor, rugs, accessories, furniture and wall hangings.

“Green” Impact

As consumers become more aware about global warming, and its impact on the environment, you’ll find that environmentally safe decorating solutions for your home are more prevalent. There are numerous ways that you can be kind to the environment and refurbish your home by using vintage or restored furnishings, environmentally safe paints and stains, and organic fabrics and textures.

Customized Fabric

Incorporating colors, fabrics and styles that mesh together is no longer a necessity in today’s designer world. The latest technological advances have made it easy for consumers to customize their fabrics, wall paper prints and styles to fit their own unique personality. This is also the ideal way to shop for someone who wants to create their own brand of style and be different from the typical cookie cutter decorating trends.

You don’t have to blow your budget by modernizing your home decorating scheme this year. With a splash of paint in the latest colors, customized sofa, and fashionable fabrics and accessories, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to update your home.
