Each year brings its trends and this year is no different. We have singled out a few of them that will excite every good interior design lover and which we will surely talk about in 2013.
What are the trends that will mark 2013 when it comes to interior decorating?
1. A new relationship between man and interior design
Society has changed fundamentally over the last few decades, which has greatly influenced all aspects of life, including interior design. Today, men spend more time at home; help with housework and children, which is reflected in the arrangement of the interior space in which they reside. Simple details, less garish colors, the prevalence of white, black and gray, functionality above all – are just a few examples of the growing male dominance in interior design.
2. Teamwork
A more recent phenomenon is that some spaces are decorated in team. This brings better ideas, designers are more efficient and faster – while one deals with the skeleton space, the other is responsible for the lighting effects, and the third for the final touch.
3. Do it yourself
The desire to express yourself is increasingly present in homes around the world. Most people want furniture and decorations that mean something, and that will, ultimately, make their space more personal. Whether the old chairs that you re-fixed, or that you just pulled out of the basement the candlesticks and turned it into a great little detail on the table, creativity is welcome and is increasingly spreading among people.
4. Textures and types of materials
In the past, people didn’t pay much attention to the material the furniture is made from or what the surface feels like when they touch it. But today the situation is completely different. People are looking for material that is comfortable to touch and encourage warmness, which in turn revives the ‘home’ feeling that they want.
5. Stripes everywhere
They encourage dynamism and enter energy into the space. Just as in the previous example, everything is welcome – from carpets, upholstery, wall decorations… it is important to have stripes.

6. Embroidery and knitting
Too bad we didn’t learn a few things from our grandmothers, because our home would now look more ‘bright’ and playful. Knitting and embroidery is the latest trend in 2013, whether it’s a colorful rug, basket or blanket.
7. African Influence
More modern households began to show a tendency toward African influences, considering them as exotic and dynamic details. Carvings and handmade ornaments certainly are trends that have already impressed the most sceptical fans of beautiful interiors. African influenced decorations will fit beautifully with wooden or timber blinds.
8. Floral patterns on a white background
Flowers are IN again, only this time with the addition of a white background. Such details bring a touch of romance and raise the whole area. Try with wallpapers, photographs – an effect that you will get will be great.
9. Writing on the wall and ceiling
Simple, original, creative … What more needs to be said?
10. Green walls
Life in the countryside is one of the most popular trends this year. Not only it is healthy and provides a feeling of freshness to space, but acts elegant and original. Whatever you choose, whether green panels or framed green screens with lighting effects or plants is something that will certainly raise and refresh your home.
