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:

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.

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

I was wondering what you guys think of this little installation; it’s the famous sunburst mirror, mounted on a… mirror. One of the cool effects here is the double amount of little mirrors, making a really explosive ‘burst’..
