Gilding the Lily for 2015, Maria Killam's Forecast

I am very impressed by Maria Killam's interior design skills. She is showing the following decor as trend-setting for our new year. It will be interesting to see how accurate her predictions are.


Gold has moved from lighting and hardware to furniture.

Is it trendy?
For the most part, yes. Unless you have a drawing room that looks like it's right out of Downton Abby (below).

Just like all that lime washed furniture will eventually be dated, same with the gold. Just don't fill your house with it from top to bottom and you can enjoy this trend in your home.
I'm loving it probably because it's in the realm of my favourite colour, yellow.
I realized this Christmas that I really need to refresh my linens for entertaining, I did break down and buy this flatware from West Elm.

Jewel Tone Shades.
Colour is still bright but it's getting richer and more dramatic.

4. Kitchens without Uppers (or at least partially)

This is not a new trend but I've been thinking about this a lot and this is one trend I see as a classic. Once you turn one wall into a pantry which takes care of the storage (if you have the room to do that of course) who would ever want to go back to upper cabinetry?
Watercolour Prints

Is watercolour the new chevron? I guess we'll wait and see.

  1. I'm not a fan of what we used to call "blonde" furniture back in the day. I like the vibrant colors of yellow and red, but I'm a wood floor, door and window frames person. I hope she has it wrong in her choice of gold for the trend.
