Infographic: 12 Home Decor and Design Trends You Might Not Know About
It’s interesting how quickly a design trend will take hold. Several of the design and decor features in the infographic below are even on the brink of becoming a craze. I can’t tell you how many sheds I’ve encountered with elaborately finished interiors, or barn-door style closures especially in homes with Southwest character. Monochromatic rooms are everywhere, especially white or gray. Personally I like the idea of #6 – sectionals… the better to stretch out and watch a game!
I’d be curious about design trends in New Construction homes. I know that in the practicality department, energy efficiency and durable flooring are gaining a lot of ground. I think a visit to my local builder’s design center is in order… I’ll keep you posted.

Simply put, designer, author and TV personality Nate Berkus says your home should tell the story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.
But since each of us has a unique story to tell, that story unfolds in myriad ways. One person’s collection of cherished family photos is another person’s collection of 19th century French antiques; one person’s penchant for mid-century modern style is another person’s passion for the farmhouse look.
Home decor and design is a matter of personal taste. However, plenty of style watchers keep their pulse on what’s hot and what’s not in design and decor to help you fine-tune that taste.
Sure, you’ve probably heard that shades of gray are big in home decorating and that fireplaces are on fire as an outdoor living feature. But have you heard about peacocks? In this infographic, LawnStarter taps into the insights of decor and design observers to bring you 12 trends, like peacocks, that you might not know about.
