I was just trying to figure out what the big decorating themes are for this year. It used to be so simple like modern or Tuscan styles. It was obvious and widespread. However, now it’s just way too difficult to tell. People are customizing it more to their space and lifestyles and putting their own take on it. Sure it looks great it’s just makes blogging a lot more difficult. It isn’t easy to copy an entire room style anymore but this can also lead to smaller budgets too.

What Are The Big Decorating Themes?
April 22nd, 2012
If I was braver I would definitely go with a Moroccan room. Instead, I’d probably end up with more of a global inspired look. I’ll skip the dark paint colors and the obvious accessories. I’ll just use a few simple lanterns and rugs. If I had my own home though I would use a deeper eggplant color. What decorating style would you tackle if you were braver?

Design Trend: Sheepskin
Probably the biggest home decor trend for flooring for the last few years has been sheepskin rugs. They add modern style to any room. However, when I looked through the Comfy Sheepskin site I realized that there are many more ways to use this material in a variety of sheepskin products .
This isn’t just for home decor. There are custom sheepskin seat covers. I would love to try these in my car because the upholstery is stained and it’s not that comfortable either. New seat covers would definitely fix that. It takes a few days for these pieces to be made so it will fit your bucket seats exactly. I also didn’t know that there were so many color options available. Usually I just see it in white. I guess when a material becomes popular there are always innovators out there finding new ways to use it.

As Seen on Friends
I’m amazed when I watch the show Friends how many things are still in style even though the show has been off the air for such a long time. Tangerine is the big color for this decorating season as is retro style, tufted furniture, and even velvet. Guess what famous coffee house couch has all of these features? I guess everything old is new again.

Apothecary
I’m obessed with all furniture with the word apothecary in it. I ran across this set that someone on Polyvore created. I don’t know what I would do with all of those little drawers; probably put cd’s in them or something but I’d figure it out.
