The color of the year is usually "announced" by functionaries of major paint-producing companies. So what color is being hyped by these professionals? Well, apparently, there will be a return to using browns. Aside from wood, browns have not been a populara choice for interior decorating - until now, that is!

Browns combine well with natural or neutral colors (white, grey, beige, green), and also create some unexpected contrasts with more saturated, bolder shades (turquoise, red, yellow).

We'll get to the more eclectic trends in a moment, but minimalism remains a popular, lasting trend. So, for those who don't like clutter, nor the "coldness" of the ultra modern, the Scandinavian style - with an eco-friendly slant - is the perfect choice.

Round shapes

One of the undeniable inspirations for fashion trends (in all areas), is the 70s, which has brought back the pleasure of appreciating sensuous shapes, like the rounded, circular furnishings shown here.

This trend is especially pronounced in the complementary furniture found in each room: coffee tables, bedside tables, seats, ottomans and so on. Even accessories such as lamps, can come in spherical form!

When the future was imagined by those living in the 60s and 70s, it was seen as being "dominated" by shiny chrome. Chrome is now making a comeback, and is a material which can be found being used for new furniture, cars and more.

The style of the 70s - with its bold colors and even somewhat jarring contrasts - is becoming popular again. But rather than following/repeating this style to the letter, enthusiasts are using this style as a guide to selecting certain color-shape combinations.

Beautiful exaggeration: a pathway to maximalism

In contrast to Scandanavian minimalism, there is a rising popularity in maximalism: this style is based on the maxims "more is more", or "you can never have too much of a good thing". This style is an exaggerated mix of materials, patterns, colors, shapes and styles that are combined in a pleasing whole!

Unique art

Modern furnishing trends are also moving away from decorating with "mass-produced" artwork (and other objects). Enthusiasts of this furnishing style are much more likelly to seek out decorative artwork which is unique, niche and one-of-a-kind.

In short, those furnishing their homes in line with current trends are much more inclined to invest in using more "eclectic" pieces, askewing run-of-the-mill items in favor of something more unique.

Amongst these trends, which would you like to introduce into your home?
