Top Trends in Decorating Today

We are looking for a respite from an increasingly chaotic world. We want homes that are comfortable, relaxing, healthy and safe, but also reflect your personality. At Interior Spaces in Portland Oregon, our goal is to help you make your home not only function well, but also be aesthetically pleasing. Following are some top trends we have noticed that our clients request in decorating their homes.

Color and Light Can Change Everything…

It is a scientifically proven fact that light affects our health and color affects our mood. It is no wonder that getting the right colors on the walls is a top trend in the design of home interiors. Windows have been described as the house’s eyes to the world. Because of this trend, window coverings are no longer the standard mini blinds that we have seen in the past. Good interior design will incorporate not only the right selection and placement of color on the walls, but also the appropriate window coverings your home. There are so many options of fabrics and styles it can become overwhelming. A professional decorator can help you pull color and light together.

Serenity Reigns Supreme…

“Spa” and “zen” have become buzzwords associated with the home. Communications are instant, travel is frequent, and economies are connected. We are citizens of a global village and our homes reflect that. Rooms or wardrobes that feature only one style or place of origin seem as out of date as last week’s headlines. How to combine different styles and colors can be a home owner’s nightmare. But getting a professional interior master plan in color and furniture layout can make all the difference in the way your home feels to you. That's our speciality at Interior Spaces, a full interior design and decorating firm in the Tualatin, Tigard, West Linn, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Wilsonville Oregon area plus Vancouver Washington.

The Healthy House…

Going “green” in our private homes is just as important as the environment. One of the top trends today is analyzing how interior furnishings and finishes are affecting our health. From what carpet you choose, to what pillow you sleep on, it is important to know what chemicals and fibers are treated and how it can affect you health. Because of this there also is an increasing trend to bring nature indoors and into our interior decorating. From natural fibers, natural woods, the earth toned color trend have become the new modern! Hiring a professional interior designer with this expertise can help you choose finishes and furnishings for you home that will bring health and happiness to your home.
