Writer's picture: Dayna WilsonDayna Wilson



New year. New goals. And, new trends. While we strive to refresh our lives, our homes may need a bit of refreshing, too.  On point winter colors recommended by architects, designers, colors include

#1 blacks with warm fabrics, like velvet and furs

#2 icy blues with white accents and more...blue

#3 smokey purple with neutrals

#4 earthy textures with warm metal tones

#5 rich browns-cinnamon, toast, dark cocoa

#6 relaxing dark blue-greens

#7 creamy tones with monochromatic scheme

#8 cool neutrals with iron red (think rouge for your cheeks) Design trends that are so 'last year"

Home trends of past decades that make today's buyers cringe...



  • Popcorn ceilings - only at the movies with butter

  • Tile counter tops - no one wants to clean grout

  • Shag carpet, animal print rugs - Not 'groovy' any more

  • Wood paneling - dated and dreary

  • Linoleum floors - hardwood, engineered wood or tile, please

  • Wallpaper borders

  • Tuscan kitchens

  • Matching window valances, vertical blinds, matching wallpaper and carpets

  • Hollywood mirror lights, exposed light bulb

  • Silk plants, fake fruit - think dust collectors

  • Floral everything, lace, chintz, dusty pastels

  • Curio cabinets, ceiling mirrors, conversation pits...On my!

  • Word art, monograms, oversized leather sofas, futons, nautical


The list goes on and on, but I chose the past trends that made me cringe the most.
