#1 Interior Design Trend: More Color<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago citizens still love neutrals, but we\u2019re beginning to see their infatuation with grays recede. In its place is an increasingly popular emphasis on color \u2013 either all-out saturation, or, more often, neutral rooms that are layered with color (particularly jewel tones) like never before. Deep blues and teals have become especially popular among Chicago\u2019s homes. In fact, I\u2019d say blue is emerging as THE interior design color story\u00a0 \u2013 it\u2019s uncanny how much blue we can see. From baby blue, built-in furniture pieces like armoires and media cabinets, to dark midnight blues on kitchen islands, we\u2019re working blues into our interiors every day<\/p>\n

#2 Interior Design Trend: Funkier Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago residents are getting more daring, and are moving toward more contemporary lighting as a way of achieving the eclectic interiors so many of us are embracing these days . Choosing lighting for a neutral room is a lot like accessorizing a little black dress. At its most basic, a little black dress is a terrific foundation for all sorts of jewelry. You can go simple, dramatic, plain, or fancy with it \u2013 it all depends on the accents. The same is true of lighting. Take a beautifully neutral room, spice it up with an architectural light fixture, like a bubble chandelier or multiple strands of tiny lights suspended at different levels, and you\u2019ve suddenly created a cool space that feels really chic. Lighting can do that.<\/p>\n

#3 Interior Design Trend: Mixed Metals<\/strong><\/p>\n

In keeping with a tendency toward eclecticism overall, Chicago citizens are becoming more willing and interested than ever to mix metals such as polished nickel, brushed brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. The trick is to mix artfully, or a room can end up looking as though you neglected to think things through. Choose one finish as the dominant metal in a space, and then tastefully \u2013 and thoughtfully \u2013 sprinkle different finishes around as accents. For instance, you wouldn\u2019t want to do oil-rubbed bronze faucets and brushed brass hinges \u2013 but you might want to try placing a pair of brushed brass light fixtures over a vanity accented entirely with oil-rubbed bronze. In other words, choose one metal to be the primary finish, then be intentional about adding a secondary metal.<\/p>\n

#4 Interior Design Trend: Outdoor Views<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating indoor-outdoor connections \u2013 both literal and visual \u2013 are a trend that continues to gather momentum at an unbelievable pace. Chicago residents are actively thinking about how big windows are, how much light they let in, and what they look on to.<\/p>\n

#5 Interior Design Trend: Texture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texture never really goes out of style. But it\u2019s certainly having a moment in the spotlight. Outside, we\u2019ve been playing with brick patterns, changing up the way they\u2019re laid from here to there, and either accentuating mortar or smoothing it out as a design element in its own right. Inside, we\u2019re covering ceilings, walls, and floors with brick, wood, and stone \u2013 sometimes all three in the same space. There are no rules, and the more tactile the room, the more exciting it is.<\/p>\n

#6 Interior Design Trend: Wallpaper<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been paying attention lately, you could be forgiven for dismissing the idea of covering your walls with paper. But that would be a mistake. Today\u2019s wallpapers are nothing \u2013 and I mean, nothing \u2013 like the ones you remember in your grandmother\u2019s house. In fact, wallpaper has suddenly become downright hip and cool. Much of that is due to recent advances in technology, which allow formerly super-expensive hand-painted or hand-blocked papers, for example, to be created digitally. Or enable minerals such as mica, or glass beads, or even capiz shells, to be embedded into wallpapers. They\u2019re interesting, affordable, and add so much warmth and character, which is why Chicago citzens are so crazy about them right now.<\/p>\n
