explained that this means that consumers will be buying furniture they
can use indoors and outdoors. In terms of interior decor, lifestyle

Interior Design Trend No. 2: Source Artisan Goods
From tassels and basketry to macrame and crochet, weaving is in. To
embrace this trend, lifestyle expert Justina Blakeney advises consumers
to be inspired by local finds. LG Studio artistic advisor Nate Berkus
encourages shoppers to buy locally made and globally crafted goods.
Berkus also states that consumers should not be afraid to mix vintage
and artisanal items with mass produced goods. Consumers should not miss
the opportunity to pair a Mongolian lambskin pouf and Moroccan rug next
to a Target coffee table, for example. Great resources are for the

Interior Design Trend No. 3: Minerals Are In

an intricately patterned floor or a countertop, fluid geometry is coming
in strong. Great resources include Astek Wallcovering by Thelma Valenzuela or a design professional from Decorist.
