As we head towards 2009, it's time to outline the interior trends we're predicting for next year. (Andre De Nito..gomestic. whoartnow )
Here is an overview of the 4 trends:

Timeless Curve
.
Timeless curves is an up to date version of baroque classic and modern hi-tech combined to make a truly spectacular interior. Classic vintage wallpaper mixed with blacks and whites to create a mono-tone interior. Add colour with accessories, furnishings and big bold canvas art to complete this elegant and sophisticated modern style.
Colours
As you may see from the colour palette below, "Timeless Curve" is predominantly Gray shades. Don't worry though, it isn't all gloom. For added colour, look for the dark shades of blue and purple. Contrast this with some light ice blue or Gray-purple shades to brighten the interior.
If you have to have some bright colours in your space, why not consider a pair of bright red or purple sofas. Colour should only really be added with a careful selection of canvas prints and soft furnishings but try not to over do it.
Influences
"Timeless Curve" isn't a new idea, it started back in the '80s with "Black on Black" which was made popular in the bachelor pad boom. Throughout the '90s this theme evolved into the "Yuppie" look which over the years has become very popular with falling prices for wood flooring and metal framed furniture. "Timeless Curve" is just the '00s version of this classic trend.
With the massive growth in popularity for vintage wallpaper and textiles over the last few years, many people will be attracted to this interior trend as these themes run throughout the style. Look for some interesting vintage wallpaper styles now being re-produced on canvas
