What’s Hot for 2008
Warm colors and natural materials are hot in 2008 interior design, with an emphasis on "retro glamour" and "chic" according to Davis Remignanti, Lead Design Consultant at Furniture.com. Some highlights from Remignanti 2008 design trends report,

Glamour - refined finishes and silhouettes. “The look is glamorous but in an approachable and welcoming way.”

Vintage Mix - Still popular is combinimg the old with the new. Vintage pieces are not only a great way to incorporate a family heirloom and save a tree at the same time.
• Look for accent pieces with a hint of chrome, mirrored and glass all of which are making a big comeback for home decorating.
• Color pallete for paint will be "spicy" think russet, warm shades of red, flax, greens blue is also expected to make a strong showing.
• On the way out is oversized furniture. Manufacturers are returning to smaller scale pieces more in proportion with normal human scale.
