The design trend which I hope DOES not continue is the wall stripes. I love it for a pillow, blanket, maybe a seat cushion and only sometimes for drapes but I do not care for it at all on the walls. I think it is super trendy and hope it is on its way out. I also do not care for taxidermy or fake animal horns as decor–I never got why this became popular. I’m actually kind of scared of animals with big antlers or horns so having them as a design element creeps me out. On a positive note, I am loving the saturated colors and hope this continues for a while. There is something I love about going into a room with a rich deep color on the walls–it never seems outdated to me when it is done right.

What a fun post!! Great opinions!! I picked emerald/kelly green last year as my own personal color for 2012! I did a post in Jan. 2012 on it. So glad to see it is Pantones color for 2013. I like to throw in a trend now and then ,but nothing that is my base pieces. However, black and white is on the list of trends this year and that is one of my foundations in my wardrobe and home, looks like I might be trendy afterall. Also, STRIPES, oh how I love a good stripe on the wall, or upholstery or in a rug, love it anywhere, anytime!!
It will be interesting to see the direction we will go. I think Kristin was spot on in most of her comments and answers. Great Post!!

Agreed Carmen! Those of us who look at home design all day do tire of “trends” more quickly, I think it takes longer than that for the average person and those design elements can be really special!
