Colorado Springs isn’t the triendiest place in the world, but we do have our likes and dislikes. Our designer, Theresa Guthals, says that people like for their interior spaces to reflect the outdoors. And with good reason! People move to Colorado because it’s beautiful. Why would we want to forget that when we’re inside?

Here are some popular looks in Colorado Springs:

Simplicity

When you gaze at the mountains, what do you see? They can be any color from gold to pink to blue, but during the day they are sometimes a shade of gray or taupe. They often look like a green or gray blanket has been thrown over them, with soft shadows and curves.

Those gray and taupe colors are popular here. You can install a window treatment or buy furniture in colors that reflect the mountains and expect it to look current a long time.

The clean lines and simplicity of the mountain view look just as calming and dramatic in a home. Expect this “trend” to last.

Colorado Lodge Look

People love to vacation in the mountains. Rent a lodge somewhere, go skiing, enjoy the peace and quiet of Rockies in a dramatic natural setting and you’ll come back refreshed. When they move to Colorado, they like to have a reminders of those treasures in the house. The mountains are just as beautiful when you own the home as when you’re renting it.

Elements of an updated lodge are popular in Colorado Springs homes. You’ll find warm tones, dark wood floors and wood accents. You might even find a rustic look like that of a 19th century barn or farmhouse, with some vintage and some contemporary items. Homes look like a cottage, but with a modern twist.

Classic Look

Have you ever been in a home with a cabinet full of knick knacks? Or where every space had something displayed in it? That look has gone out of style in favor of classic, open spaces.  Shutters are popular window coverings right now and they bridge almost every trend. The most classic window treatment available, they will weather every trend until they physically wear out.

Even lines of furniture and fabric patterns are trending towards straight, without much curve. People like the simplicity.

Why are people interested in classic, simple interior spaces now? Because our lives are cluttered. We are constantly bombarded with activities, information and communication. Classic-looking interiors help keep us calm.
