This post from a Little Rock blogger keys in on the trend for sprucing up a space with color and texture–a mini makeover rather than a full on reno. She went for yellow and blue/green too, which are top picks for 2010.

This post highlights a designer whose old world style has fresh appeal–quality, personality and a mix of antiques/new are all top trends.

Lots of ideas for combining high tech with good looks in this post from Things that Inspire.

A big trend is to add little personalized details and, if you like glamour, what better way to do that than with full-on silver leafed furniture? Since mirrored pieces tend to be more expensive, this DIY blog post fits the bill.

Check out this interview (scroll down and click play) with Academy Award-nominated Beth Rubino, who designed the beautiful homes in “Something’s Gotta Give” and, more recently, “It’s Complicated.” Her designs represent fresh takes on traditional decor. Very uplifting and light-filled too, both trends.
