In 2008, add a jolt of color to your home and brighten things up. The hot color will be iris blue. This doesn't mean you should paint your room, but definitely add iris blue accessories such as pillows, throws and vases. Also, this year's hot color combo will be pairing plum with gray.

Gone are sleek living rooms. Instead, go for baroque without going broke. Bring in a mirror that has an oversize carved frame, or look for chairs with swirls and curls to pair up with the sofa you already have. Soft sweeping lines are replacing straight hard lines. Most importantly, your home should feel luxurious to you.

In 2007, we saw a huge movement toward green products, but 2008 will focus on what "green" means. It is not a look you're after, but an understanding of the effect each product has on the earth. As we look for new ways to produce healthy design products, you'll find a growing focus on organic and sustainable materials.
