Design Forecast for 2008-Dorian Webb
January 18, 2008

Unique, special or handmade objects and browns, mauves and ecru are the trends that I think will be strong for 2008. It all stems from the state of the economy. With the downturn in the housing market, the decline in value of the dollar and rising fuel costs, the average consumer is buying less, and is focusing on things that will stand the test of time. Their purchases are carefully selected with an eye towards long term enjoyment and appreciation. While the economy continues to be worrisome, I believe that the consumer will gravitate towards interesting, warm, comforting and colorful palettes for their interiors. The home remains an oasis from the outside world. --Dorian Webb
