Interior Design Trends for 2013

January 25, 2013 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

Interior design trends don’t change as fast as fashion. We certainly don’t buy new furniture, reupholster old chairs, change draperies or even paint every season. Unless you are redecorating or remodeling a room, we tend to update our spaces with little touches. Like new pillows or accessories. Repainting is easier and more economical than buying a new sofa or replacing the carpet.

That being said, what are the hottest trends in interior design for 2013?

Emerald Green is the 2013 color of the year according to Pantone.

Emerald, the 2013 color of the year. Would you do an entire room in this shade or add little touches?

We will be seeing more gold or shiny brass in accessories and furniture

This gorgeous 32″ gold leaf mirror from High Street Market will make a huge impact over the fireplace.

Interior design is also influenced by what’s happening on the fashion runway:
High contrast, especially black and white stripes.

This collections is from Functionals presented at Maison et Objet show in Paris last week.

Floral prints (but not your Granny’s flower fabric!)

Kampur from Casal Fabrics. New for 2013

Animal prints will also continue to be popular

Park Avenue Python by Mary McDonald for Schumacher

Wallpaper is making a comeback, but in bold, graphic or embellished designs

Acanthus Stripe from Celerie Kemble for Schumacher

I predict designs influenced by the 1920s and Art Deco will be very important in the next few years. Downton Abbey is wildly popular and The Great Gatsby is coming out in May. Which would you choose Roaring Twenties Decadence?

The butterfly design on this stunning armoire is in polished brass over silk. The inside is as beautiful as the out. Varnished gold leaf with antique mirror drawers!

or English Garden Party Elegance?

Downton Abbey is filmed at Highclere Castle. Although the room is over the top, look at the chairs and table. You can easily reproduce this look today.
