\nKey design trends suggest consumers want more freedom to express themselves and the home furnishings industry is providing them with the options to do so according to a national survey of 900 interior designers and decorators conducted and reported at http:\/\/www.bestdecoratingideas.com\/.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Designers indicated consumers want to mix and match home furnishings. Commenting on the survey results, Heather Higgins, Principal of Higgins Design Studio LLC, stated, “With stress-filled lives, feeling a personal connection to our home, as we awake, interact with loved ones or entertain friends, is essential to our happiness and well-being. Clients recognize this and are seeking design solutions that reflect their individuality and unique lifestyle.”

\nAccording to Dr. Larry Chiagouris, the consultant to the team that created the survey and who also serves as a marketing professor at Pace University, several trends are expected to increase in popularity next year. These trends are:<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Mixing expensive with inexpensive items
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Clients using the Internet to identify design options and resources
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Eclectic looks rather than matched sets
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Furniture in natural finishes
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Furniture with custom finishes
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Red hues for walls or fabrics
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Dark wood furniture with brushed metal hardware
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Lifestyle stores such as the Pottery Barn, Pier 1 and Crate & Barrel
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Upholstery with thin, straight lines
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Cabinetry to accommodate large television sets<\/p>\n
