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:

Architectural Digest run this post on a beautiful Greenwich Village Apartment with turquoise walls and silver ceilings.

Sara Story designed this kitchen with a purple ceiling and gorgeous painted hardwood floors.

This dreamy pink bedroom with a painted ceiling is designed by Phoebe Howard.

Juicy red and white are the colors of choice in this dining room with a painted ceiling, designed by Stephen Shubel.

This Old Hollywood Glam dining room is also designed by Jeffers Design Group and has a ceiling painted coral pink.

Olga Adler is the designer behind this spectacular foyer with a golden ceiling.

Sherril Canet also chose a gold ceiling for this emerald green living room.

We have seen some fantastic Padded walls:

A crafty homeowner posted this image of her beautifully padded wall bedroom on HGTV’s Rate my Space.

*

Vicente Wolf padded the walls of this gorgeous gray bedroom too.

*

Douglas Doulezal used cobalt blue padding on the walls  for this glorious bedroom.

And even Upholstered Beds:

Jamie Drake upholstered a bed with his Shumacher Fabric Line for Kip’s Bay in 2007.

*

House to Home shared this gem of an upholstered bed with us.

*

This padded bed also belongs to a HGTV Rate My Space-er.

*

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?!

HGTV’s Rate My Space user Adordesign has padded one of her bedroom walls with a pink-beige suede style fabric, and the result is spectacular!

*

The sectioned wall really brings out the depth and softness of the walls..

*

And the duvet cover and coverlet is so.. perfect! And to complete the soft theme, she places a pillow behind each bedside table lamp!

*

Side view. The tiny chandelier is so art deco. Love it.

*

You can see what she did with the rest of the suede fabric in her spare bedroom here!

*

I love checking out hotel rooms (no pun intended) for design inspiration. Here are some ultra modern picks from the luxury hotel listing at Splendia:

*

Fuchisa and White:

White bedroom with Fuchsia carpet, curtains and feature wall.

*

Love the big floor mirror, even the frame is pink. And from the reflection in the mirror you can see the headboard is actually pink plexi glass.

*

Black and Gold:

This white bedroom has a gold leaf feature wall, and behind the bed is a shiny black headboard that extends to behind the bedside tables.

*

A closer look at the bed.

*

A black framed version of the floor mirror in the former room. This one even has sconces mounted on it.

*

White, Pink and Orange:

Pink and orange is usually one of my favorite color combos (aren’t they all?), but this one is a bit limp..

*

Curtains go all the way from ceiling down to the floor to make the room look taller.

*

I didn’t even realise the Barcelona chair came in orange!

*

This post is for lovely reader Ashley who is on a quest to find the colors used on three of her favorite rooms. I do not have access to the exact colors used in each room pictured on this site, but lets try nonetheless! The colors picked out is a happy medium of the colors in each picture, because the lighting and shadows greatly affect the color perception.

So, lets go!

If you are planning on decorating a fun theme room for your kids, look no further than to the Madonna Inn (discovered through Retro Renovation) for inspiration:

*

Each room is designed in a different theme. This is the Old Mill family room with two king sized beds and a hand painted mural. To read more about each room, click the pic!

*

Carin is the super girly all pink bedroom. Perfect for Barbie and Ken!

*

The Chestnut Foal is a green and brown horse themed room. Check out the Merry-Go-Round ceiling lamp!

*

This tyrian purple and burgundy red bedroom is accented with golden mirror frames and classic teardrop chandeliers. To achieve a baroque theme, go for regal colors and velvet (or velour). I would go for another color carpet though. This room is named Dez, and might not be suited for a kid, lol.

*

The Mountain view has a nice relaxed atmosphere with brown carpeting, green walls and a great white bed with some wild zebra prints!

*

Merry is a sparkling pink bedroom with chandeliers by the dozen.

Be inspired by these gorgeous photographs by Donna Griffith:

*

Beautiful pink details. Pink feather wreath with Christmas glitter balls!

*

This detail photo is pretty. A stack of different style pink plates on soft pink fabric.

*

This bedroom is decorated in the same colors as the fabric pattern on the headboard. Beachy and fun!

*

Cute detail for concealing clutter: a shelf valance.

*

You can see more gorgeous photos like these on Donna’s site!

Yummy citrus colors from interior designer Stephen Shubel:

*

Coral pink and white dining room.

*

Creamy beige colored living room with white and saffron orange accents. Is it my imagination, or is that a sand filled coffee table with a wooden tray atop? Fun idea.

*

One of my fave crazy color combos is pink with orange. I see I’m not the only one.

*

A wonderful yellow and white dining area.

*

See more designs by Stephen Shubel at his site.

*

I like this bedroom, good lighting and the bed is really nice. Good pink combo.

UPDATE: Click here to see more pics from this bedroom!!

*

The hot pink and white bathroom. I see a hint of retro shapes in here, lol. Pic via this site.

*

I think this hot pink kitchen really is a red hot kitchen,

I thought this was a great idea for making a headboard quick and easy:

The great thing is

Here are more examples of how to use pink in your interior:

Bedroom:

A peachy pink with white and with mirror details makes a soft yet posh room.

Wall:

Hot pink wall with brown interior. Btw, is that chair made out of a chiffon scarf? Maybe it is a lucite chair with a scarf draped on it, I don’t know…

Living room:

Soft pink and white with dark green and yellow accents.

Bathroom:

Pink and white with maroon detail.

Bedroom:

Medium pink with white and brown. This combo is a lot softer than the usual pink/white/black combo, although a bit more bland.

Nursery:

A great medium tone pink with white. This is adorable.

Now lets take a look into Betsey Johnson’s all-pink apartment:

Betsey has painted her entire apartment in pink, has black floors and white, pink or yellow furniture, depending on the room. This is a great way to separate a larger space of one wall color, into smaller ones (you can see the dining area in the background of the living room island in sec. pic up). This color magic in combination with ceiling lamps (rugs also works well for this), divides a large room into separate spaces.
