BEHR announced 2010 Design & Color Trends:

"Responding to a world bursting with change, innovation and diversity, four distinctive trends emerge: Soft Structure – the softer side of modern:

Taking their cues from the fashion world, neutrals become cool and complex. This compelling palette goes beyond the boundaries of conventional gray and taupe. Expanded hues of mushroom, stone and white are enhanced even more with subtle undertones of blue and lavender.

Artisan Voyage – a vibrant cultural exploration:

Travel ignites our imagination and helps us form ideas for creative expression. The details we remember from our sojourns away can be profound or subtle. Each memory recalls a different impression captured in the moment: the delicate taste of tea, the raucous sound of city traffic, the luxurious feel of fine silk on our skin, the pungent scent of spices, the grand view of cityscapes.

Dark Glamour – a glamorous take on industrial style:

Dark hues set a mood of Gothic intrigue. Vivid, jewel-toned accents enliven the space, preventing a somber air. Antique white, smudged black and smoky gray combine with gemstone garnet and jade to create rich, alluring palettes.

(Although I understand that this style can be regarded as suitable for a time of recession, in my opinion it will not help to overcome the resulting depression, and, having in mind that our way of living depends so much on everything that sussounds us, I would hardly recommend it to my customers. Glamour - yes, but glamour connected with the luxury of the natural materials, good quality and authenticity. )

and Farm House Craft – a fusion of urban and rural.

Capturing the essence of growth and renewal is a palette of earthbound colors. Deep succulent greens found in verdant gardens mix with the lush, vivid hues of springtime fields. Accompanying them is a deep brown reminiscent of turned earth. This organic pairing of colors brings forth a stress-free atmosphere of living.
A provincial assortment of furnishings intersects with modern sensibility. Appliances are high-tech stainless steel. Cabinets are polished, blonde maple, while hardwood floors are constructed from reclaimed timbers. Decorative accessories are found in patina copper and pewter grays. Hand-woven baskets are filled with just-picked seasonal fruits and vegetables. Pots of herbs bathing in the sunlight are ready to be added to the next meal ..."
  My expectations are that this is the style that will get the most popularity in the coming year.
