Just like in the world of fashion, you have to keep up with the trends in interior design. The only really good thing is the fact that interior design is more of an art the has a much longer shelf life… really, as long as you like it, there isn’t much to worry about.
One of the biggest trends in 2010 to this point is using natural materials. This includes not just fabrics, but woods, metals, paints, and more. There is a big design factor with the trend but it’s also about health and getting rid of chemical treated materials that can contaminate our environments.
Moving towards natural things in the kitchen is a little harder to do, but getting rid of plastics and using special woods makes a big difference. Ceiling fans are always a big design of the kitchen and it’s easy to get your fan from a sustainable wood like bamboo.
Finding and using natural materials is much easier to do when you are decorating in your living room and bedroom. Sometimes the coffee table is the center piece of the living room and you can get these with natural woods easily. Other pieces you can us are chests which I think make for great design. Many of these are all natural as well.
One of the big design areas is your carpet. Fabrics like special wools different wool blends are free of chemicals and repel bugs and other dust mites.
This trend of organic fabrics can continue in the bedroom with bedding like silk sheets and bamboo sheets. Both are all natural and add a very special design element… silk more than any other. However it doesn’t stop there.
It doesn’t just stop there because your bed frame and all the choices that go along with that are important and many woods for frames are now all natural too. When you’re decorating, you really have to look hard and long to find what you want because finding king or queen bedding along with rugs and bed frames that are all natural can be very tough to do.
