Interior decorating color trends

Interior decorating color trends that are "in" right now are the earth tones. Can you believe that these colors returned from the 60's! These include browns, oranges, mineral blues and moss greens. The new trends coming out are in the metallic range. These are used in paint, fabrics, leather, furniture and accessories. The colors to complement the metallic will be fuchsia, pinks, Wedgwood blue, gray and neutrals. Needless to say don't go home and throw out all your earth tone accessories, furniture etc (unless your 80 yrs old).

Where do I put the trend colors?

When choosing your main upholstered goods go with neutrals. It may not be as fun, but you get more bang for you buck. The best and most economical place for the trend colors is in your accessories and paint. These are the least expensive and easiest to replace. You are able to update you room by simply changing out your accessories, pillows and paint color.
