Design Forecast 2008-Mark Abrams
January 10, 2008

I think you will see two very different perspectives in color and trend for 2008. With the economy, oil prices and personal expenses at record highs, it will all be about opposite ends of the spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, it’s opulence and the look of wealth in gold, metallic finishes, reflective surfaces, overscaled lighting and over-the-top furniture. The second trend is more classic -- the look of traditions passed down, antiqued and worn with aged finishes and hardware. I believe we always cycle back to the middle and pull out trends that we are familiar with when the economy, going into an election year, is like it is. --Mark Abrams
