· Resources predict that yellow will dominate the color schemes of the year 2013. This bright energetic color is perfect to bring vitality into this new year.
· Pattern is still going strong as it pops up everywhere. We will continue to see bold floral and geometric patterns with a white background. Mixing and matching different patterns is the way to go here.
· Textures will prevail this year as well. Fabrics and materials should be touchable and should engage the user. Again, using a white background will allow these unique textures to stand out.
· Using items out of their normal everyday use is fun and exciting. Don’t just buy a lamp; buy a lamp that makes you smile. Perhaps, choose a lamp made of tea cups, or maybe even a chandelier made of wine glasses. Make design fun for you this year!
