High Point Market: Home Decor Trends 2010-Beyond

Keeping up with the latest trends in fashion is one thing but in your home… Sure, you might like picking up some new seasonal accessories, but the big pieces you buy to last. (To do otherwise would get expensive in a hurry!)

But, it’s still fun to see where the home furnishings and decor trends are heading over the next few years, and that’s why we sent two lead writers to High Point Market. There, they discovered three trends you don’t have to spend a bundle on, and a new look for an old classic you might want to invest in. Over the next few days, we’ll look at some gorgeous pieces for your home office, but for today, let’s look at what designers and manufacturers are unveiling and how you can keep your home up to date without spending a fortune.

Home Office Inspiration Board: Small Nook Office

When I got an email from Denise about the hallway office she shares with her kids, my mind immediately started churning out small-office decor ideas. I know all too well about being productive in a super small space (my first home office was a teeny coat closet) and while it’s fun to design and decorate a large office, it’s also fun to squeeze every last bit of potential out of a smaller space.

Pets in the Home Office

Where do the pets hang out?

Here at the GirlyPC home office, we have a big, clumsy, slobbery dog and he has a floppy cushion in the corner to cuddle up on. (Though he prefers to lay in front of the French doors and guard the garden from renegade squirrels and wicked blue jays.)

It’s getting a little worn and I was eyeballing it today wondering if I wanted to try tackling sewing something new or just buying something new.

I found a bunch of great sewing patterns that might be perfect, and spent about an hour drooling over fabric patterns that would look great on the dark hardwood floors in the office.
