Do you want to know about new home interior trends for 2009? Maybe you are getting your house ready to sell, relocating to a new office complex, building a new custom property, or just needing a scenery change. There are varying themes, styles, and tastes when it comes to interior design. There are a lot of trends emerging as a result of builders offering more customizable options. Open floor plans continue to be popular, along with energy efficient designs, and practical ideas that are tasteful.
From the 1800s to the early 1900s houses were special in that the interior design of a large home was divided to create discrete areas. The bedrooms for the family were located upstairs, while practical servant's quarters were located near the kitchen on the lower levels. A powder room was frequently located downstairs and an en suite bathroom was adjacent to the parents' master bath. The children often lived in their own private quarters of the house, often down a long hallway, giving the parents privacy. In some cases, in-laws or guests stayed in a carriage house. This home interior trend is popular again for 2009, with two or three bedroom suites and extra bathrooms being more popular. Buyers want the bedrooms for children and those for parents or in-laws on opposite sides to provide them with a peaceful area to retreat. These suites are normally in an isolated part of the house with 300 to 400 square feet with a full bath and maybe a sitting room.
Family spaces should continue to be popular through 2009, according to home interior experts. Having a family room and kitchen placed at the back of the house, known as "rear living", is an increasingly popular trend; this allows whoever is cooking in the kitchen to easily interact with guests, or keep an eye on kids in the living room. There is more of an "open concept" feel to many modern designs with fewer walls employed in the common rooms. Half-walls that join dining rooms, kitchens, and dens are preferred. In addition, finally becoming popular in America is the European concept of outdoor living rooms which can include exterior kitchens with pizza ovens, fire pits, and comfy furniture as well as chandeliers and artwork all under a covered overhang.
Home interior designers normally look for timelessness. Blue and greens are popular in rooms like bedrooms because they offer a calming feeling. Bright colors are often used by designers that employ startling splashes of yellow, orange, and red in kitchen designs, as they are often busy centers. There is a lot of versatility in living rooms; you can go with dark and elegant or modern and white. Bathrooms are designed to feel like a spa with light coming through crystal blocks, rich browns with accents in pastels, and peaceful hues on the floor tiles. A custom design will pull all of the rooms together for a unified feeling.
