The following ten design trends for 2009 are some of the most prominent, and are the ones driving design and decorating style for the upcoming year.
| 1. UNIQUELY ME CHIC: Eclectic styling as seen in the newly revived interest in Hollywood Regency and mixing of periods and styles speaks to the need that each of us has to leave our own unique personality stamp on our home decor. (Hollywood Regency Style Sketchbook.) |

| 2. LIVE RESPONSIBLY: Societal responsibility and Eco-awareness in decor and furniture purchases (saying it’s Green is not enough today – consumers demand proof that the process and the final product truly are Green, sustainable and meet with Fair Trade standards). The 2008 SAGE award winners Cisco Brothers (Harmony Ottoman), Hickory Chair (Tufted Victorian Pouf) and Valley Forge Fabrics(Celerie Collection) are companies leading the Green Design movement with their commitment to the environment. |

| 3. LUXURIOUSLY GREEN: Add silk-like eco-bedding to your organic linens vocabulary, as sumputous, silken luxury bedding makes a strong debut in the eco-bedding category. Luxury organic linens like Anna Sova’s Marigold eco-silk Collection and SDH Linens‘ silky Legna Collection have taken the concept of organic bedding to the next level. These natural silk-like linens are created from organic materials such as processed wood-pulp (in the case of SDH), and are given gorgeous color through the use of non-toxic dyes. |

| 4. FASHIONISTA FINERY: A couture flair in decorative pillows, expect to see gorgeous pillows dressed in high fashion details. Silver-Gray fabric floral and beaded accent pillow (DB Source), Etro Pokram Cushion (This Is Auto), Natasha Peacock Pillow (Blissliving Home), and Swarovski crystal embellished pillow ( Bagnaresi Casa). |

| 5. ARTISTIC LOVE: Desire and appreciation for artisan pieces and one-of-a kind decor and furniture-propelled by the rejection of impersonal, mass produced objects. Hand painted wall covering Neptune collection (Sondra Alexander), Black and Iris glass tubes (Tsunami Glassworks), and mixed media artwork from artist Panther Staton (321-604-0600). |

Loving the Modern Embrace picks, especially that medallion chair! Great trendspotting…and I love the blog!
I love the vibrant, colorful, Eco-friendly pillows. I am recommending them to a lot of folks. Thanks for the awesome post
Love the focus on colours!
I am pleased to see that responsible design is on the list for 2009. In a recent trip through Asia I was struck by by the reflection that the great majority of Asia is following in our footsteps and being influenced by our design concepts as well.
I hope that this philosophy is taken up as well.
This is the coolest stuff ever! I particularly love #10 – you could scour antique shops, flea markets and yard sales for older pieces that were a little banged up and then paint and decorate them just like you see in the photos here. Fabulous!
What is the deal where people are shelving their books backwards with the spines turned inward? What is that all about?
I have seen this in several magazines and also in the latest Pottery Barn catalog, and I don’t get it!

Love the Pattern Pride, the bold patterns are daring and make me say “Viva la Vida Loca”. Design for 2009 will be be more reckless with opposing styles used in the same room. America needs something to smile at and a beloved chair or cozy custom bedding set made with their bright accents might be just what the designer ordered!
I absolutely love the light blue and white sanctuary bed. The color palette is so rich yet subtle and very clean Beautiful.
