Current Home Design Trends Point to Gray as "In"
Trend watchers are seeing the interior design world place increased emphasis on the traditional: wingback chairs with updated fabrics- even the nail heads are back in vogue. The hot new "cool" color trend is gray, to add a soft backdrop for a movement towards more natural textures.
Trend watchers state that the interior design industry has not paid as much attention to the traditional since the period between the great depression and World War II.

Traditional Home Magazine has reported that designers have blurred the lines between the traditional and modern, creating a new updated traditional approach to design.

Additional design trends are:

-Raw, light wood finishes
-Decorative lighting which utilizes LED bulbs
-Accessories made from bare wood such as stools or end tables.
-Owls. This wide-eyed bird showcased in a variety of shapes and sizes adds charm.
