In the spirit of David Letterman's much-loved Top Ten lists, interior designers and industry experts share their predictions as to what will be hot in home décor in the coming year.

Certain themes will continue from previous years, with some gaining momentum as they become more widely accepted. Still others will explode onto the scene as fresh, inventive options for today's decorating enthusiasts. All of them will be woven together seamlessly by the thread of personalization and comfort.

 

Color is still key in home fashion with red taking a turn to the softer side with offerings of peach, melon, and muted yellows and oranges.  Blues, greens, aquas, purples and pinks will continue to evolve, and be featured in both brilliant and more subtle hues.
