What will be “hot” in home interiors in the New Year? Plenty of designers are offering up their predictions, and here’s some from Neil Kelly Company, a remodeling firm based in Portland, Oregon:
U-sockets: Wall plugs have two built-in USB ports to power up devices, such as iPhones, digital cameras, tablets, and more. U-sockets also have a smart sensor that allows it to automatically shut off when the device is fully charged.
Stand-alone bath tubs: For those home owners who still desire a bathtub, the free-standing tub is growing in demand. It takes up less space and also serves as a structural element to dress up a room.

More modest decor: The industrial modern decor look was big in 2013, but expect that style to be more “relaxed, classic, and modest” in 2014. Stone, metal, and wood will continue to be popular, but expect rounded designs with earth shades and raw metal finishes to become more prevalent in interiors in 2014.
Eco-friendly cabinets: Earth-friendly cabinets that are chemical-free and do not have added formaldehyde and non-toxic glues, binders, and finishes will likely increase in popularity.
