I’ve been enjoying a lot of blog post lately with predictions of the trends to look out for in 2010. At the same time I will admit to not being very concerned about trends when it comes to interiors. Trendy decoration will fast become tiring, and it is only a matter of time before you get bored and want to jump on the next trend. Personal style is timeless, and you can layer it for years. Trendy or not, lets take a trip down memory lane and have a look at some of the fun trends of 2009. You can click each image to go to the original post:

We have seen a lot of Painted Ceilings:

We have seen some fantastic Padded walls:

We saw a lot of Mirrored Furniture:

This is Interior designer Nancy Corzine’s own bedroom with a mirrored four poster bed, featured in New York Social Diary earlier this year.

*

The explosively popular Sunburst Mirror:

Pottery Barn showcased this wonderful bedroom with a huge sunburst mirror.

The Zebra Print:

Zebra was definitely the exotic animal pattern of choice in 2009, shown here on a crazy beautiful vignette designed by Mary McDonald.

*

The Four Poster Bed:

This super hot bedroom is designed by Kim Coleman and features two of the big hits this year, the four poster bed and the zebra print stools.

*

And what about the chandelier?

In 2009 we literally saw that the chandelier is not confined to the living room and dining room anymore, it can now be found in any and every room from bedroom to bathrooms and nurseries:

This bedroom featured in New York Social Diary belongs to Painter Rosalyn Engelman and features a classic chandelier.

Bathroom chandelier by MTI.

This nursery with the gorgeous crystal ball chandelier is designed by  Little Crown Interior.

Now I’m dying to hear what caught your eye throughout 2009?!

Today’s divine designs are created by California based brother- and design duo Ryan and Joshua Brown of Brown Design Inc:

*

The walls, carpet and curtains are all the same perfect shade of creamy beige, setting a perfect backdrop for the dark coffee table. I could move in here in the blink of an eye, and would not change a thing. Perfect!

*

Camel colored couch, decorated with throw pillows one shade lighter than the walls, one shade darker than the couch, and every shade and texture in between.

*

White bedroom with a beige wallpapered feature wall. That is my favorite hardwood floor stain (at the moment), so rich and warm.

*

Beautiful flowing lines in that blue and cream area rug.

*

Have you ever seen a bench seat like this before? Spectacular lines!

*

Now this is a bathroom! I adore the dark window frames against the soft beige walls, and the tiles are just fabulous. Perfect balance between classic and modern elements.
