Watching the trends can be fun. In housing, as in fashion, things are always changing, and it's fun to watch...although I don't jump on every style or decorating bandwagon. I stick with classics and comfort.
Anyway, for 2008: Cozy small houses on a big lot are in, McMansions are out. Earth colors...brown, green...as well as handmade accessories are in, the cold look of modern is out. Informal living spaces like an oversized family room and an open kitchen are in, formal dining rooms are out. Exotic hardwood floors like bamboo and Brazilian cherry are in, carpeting is out. Mudrooms with cubbies, chests, and benches are in, leaving all the junk in the foyer or coat closet is out. Marble, limestone or concrete kitchen countertops are in, marble is out.
And anything "Green" will be in this year...from building materials to energy efficient appliances.
