LAist’s TV Junkie asked Debbe Dunning, aka Heidi Keppert on “Home Improvement”, about life with her 3 kids and what her favorite restaurant in LA/Burbank is. Her hubby, retired pro volleyball god Steve Timmons, waits patiently in the background.
Home is amongst the most important assets of one’s life that is preserved for lifetime. Home is also where comfort and relaxation is achieved. As such, interior decor is given high importance by almost everyone. So what small or big changes you need to introduce this year? Let’s know what the top interior decor trends of 2009 are!
Nature Connect: With everyone speaking about environmental protection and going organic, everything that is natural, eco-friendly or has connection with nature will take prime place. Linen and cotton textiles for home furnishings are top picks. However, eco-friendly fibers such as soy, hemp and especially bamboo will be there right in the front. Art works used for decorating will also reflect nature with paintings focusing on nature with trees, flowers, rural and natural landscapes.
Color Palette: Bright colors and metallics with low luster levels will prevail. Gold and silver will give way to platinum, rose gold and copper. Also, yellow ( zesty lemon, orange, and lime hues) will hold strong. Purple will continue to remain popular with a shift towards red shade. Paintings will be seen with bold uses of primary and other bright – reds, greens, yellows, blues and so on.
Patterns: Bold geometrics will dominate the interior decor scenario. However, symmetry will be maintained to bring balance everywhere. Florals will also be there. As far as art work is concerned, watercolor techniques and cheerful wildflowers are the prime focus. Flowers would be seen in 3-D bouquet like embellishments, sewn onto furnishings.
