2009 Fall design trends

Styles and trends are not the same thing. But they come together to create your dream home. Learn how they interact and you’ll always be able to put your personal stamp on your home, even as you update it from time to time to keep it looking fresh and exciting.

DESIGN STYLES ARE ETERNAL

A famous fashion designer once declared "trends may come and go but style is eternal."

We agree: think of your design style as the overarching aesthetic of your home. Your home will most likely fall into one of three key styles: Traditional, Eclectic or Contemporary.


The easiest way to find your design style is to take The Home Depot’s online Discover Your Style quiz. Once you know your personal style, it’s easy to find trend pieces that best complement your home.

HOW TRENDS WORK

Decor trends, like fashion trends, cycle in and out of fashion. Fortunately, home decor trends have a considerably long shelf life – unlike some fashion trends!

Use trends to add visual interest to your space so it feels fresh, not “same-old, same-old” all year long and year after year.

When “buying into” a trend (or two), find the one(s) that are most complementary to your personal style.

TODAY’S HOT DESIGN TRENDS

This fall/winter’s hot design trends from The Home Depot are:

HOW TO PAIR TRENDS & STYLE

Use trend pieces to add something new to your home each season: paint, lighting, kitchen or bath fixtures, flooring – even just a window treatment. It doesn’t take a lot to give any room a fresh new look.

• Paint is an inexpensive way to renew any space. Use The Home Depot’s thinkincolour tool to try out virtual room scenes in Heritage, New Frontiers and Harvest paint palettes suited to your own Traditional, Contemporary or Eclectic style.
• Use The Home Depot’s Mood Boards to see a selection of custom-edited products in each of the top fall design trends tailored to your personal style.

For more ideas, browse The Home Depot’s Inspiration Gallery to see beautiful rooms in the three main decorating styles.
