2007 Bakersfield home décor is taking cues from nature rather than from that traditional Tuscany style which has been great for Bakersfield. You'll find much softer colors on the wall and much more modern accents. Bakersfield is looking at a more contemporary look, sticking to soft blues or greens with accents of crisp white, black or chocolate. Natural woods such as oak or bamboo will really bring out the warmth in rooms adorned with such color pallets. This trend tends to offer a more relaxed frame of mind. Pale blues with crisp white accents offer a since of calmness, as muted greens with chocolate accents will make you feel refreshed.

Distinctive ethnic styles are really stepping up this year as well. There will be a lot of Indian pallets including earthy reds, browns and burnt oranges. Color rich pillows with elaborate embroidery will start to fill your local Target store soon. Also there seems to be a lot more of fabric rich accessories that will start to creep on the seen. Towards the end of the year, with all eyes focused on China for the Olympics, more rich reds, lush greens and natural woods will pop up. With these rich reds and greens you'll see the start of a more modern room trend. Cool tones and monochromatic pallets will pop with the addition of these rich reds, greens, and earthy colors.

Demure rooms with relaxation on the mind will also be trendy in 2007. Look for textures to make demure rooms more interesting. If you're sticking to modern look texture is a way to add interest while keeping a room sophisticated. Prints too can make a reserved room pop with personality. Be careful with prints though, to many and your room can go from fab to flab in no time. If want a more modern room have one bold print either on the wall or in your showcase piece of furniture. This will allow you to change your demure room while still keeping up with the trends. One bold print is easily changeable as the trends change.

Takeaways

  • Don't skimp on the accessories.
  • Hardware is the easiest to change and usually the most inexpensive.
