Simply put, trends for 2009 are all about diversity. Influenced by technology, the environment, and cultural fusion, home design is saying absolutely anything goes. Taking its cue from the allure and appeal of fashion, décor now has only one rule: flaunt your personality!

Bring home the new runway looks and colours you love – sharp shapes, sexy chic or ultra-feminine - for spaces that are a fabulous reflection of who you truly are. Fashion is also loving texture and embellishment, like beading, stitching or embossing. This translates into extreme paint finishes – super-gloss or super-matte – or layering similar colours dark-on-dark or light-on-light for added visual shimmer and dimension.

The 2009 colour forecast takes us back to a time when dressing up was an everyday affair – with colours to express every individual style, be it Boho Glam, Polished, Edgy or Traditional. New richer reds, beloved blues and greens, happy yellows, and purples (the surprise hit on the runways) are all there, to be used along or paired with new colour-infused neutrals.
