Home Decor Trends for 2006

Casual contemporary, modern, classics, Asian, and traditional are being added by retailers, while cottage/country is the number one drop.

Three most popular product categories for all retailers in 2006 will be mirrors/wall decor, lamps, and accent furniture. Weaker performance is anticipated in licensed products, top-of-bed, and bath & body.

Most consumers are now looking for that one-of-a-kind piece as a decorating necessity and noting that the product is more important than the licensed name. Retailers are citing that there are too many products chasing a finite market like body and bath as there is nothing new to offer.
