Supposedly raw blonde is a trend for 2009. I think that might be me, based on this definition. Warm but austere and at this point pretty pale.
This room somehow manages to be both sensual and monastic at the same time, so perhaps it represents the perfect refuge for a recession. It almost reads as anti-consumerist (even though it undoubtedly isn’t) and that makes it somehow comforting. See the whole Scandinavian trend forecast at emmas designblogg. Meanwhile all white is still going strong, maybe for the same reasons?
