Fall Home Decor Trends
The Washington Post, 9.11.08

The Washington Post forecasts a whole slew of trends for fall including bright yellow paint, like Benjamin Moore's St. Elmo's Fire shown above. The Post also predicts that nailhead trimmed furniture (shown below the jump) and brightly painted glass kitchen backsplashes will be popular products. More fall trends and photos below the jump...

Gray wood finishes are expected to gain popularity, as are purple-colored furniture (like the Crate and Barrel chair shown below) and patterned accessories (like the Missoni print pillows also shown below).
Do you like these decor ideas? Do you agree that they are trends?

I'm so glad there's more purple available right now! My little purple bedroom is always looking for more fun accent pieces!
