"Design Trends that Sizzled in 2005"," Even if they do not have any intention of imitating or copying others' ideas, they still want to believe their ideas are not too far out.
The overwhelming trend for kitchen and bathroom tile murals has been tropical fish.
One reason for the popularity of tropical fish as a design theme, I believe, is because there is such a huge variety of colors that any preconceived color scheme can be accommodated with some or other species, no matter what.
Another reason could be because the idea for hand-painted tiles to beautifully accent a room's decor often comes, in typical human fashion, AFTER the basic colors have already been chosen.
They are as wonderful in a whimsical, cartoonish style as they are in a realistic style.
Adults seem to like the more somber, darker colored abstracts, such as the copper-colored weather-vane look, with a greenish patina, an awesome mural in the kitchen!
Silhouettes are popular too.
Use varying colors and the effect is marvelous! Interspersed with silhouettes of other sea items like coral, shells, and other nautical items, and you have a one-of-a-kind art theme in your own special space.
It has a "French poster" look to it that goes very well in some country-style decors.
There really is no end to the marvelous themes and schemes that can be created using fish as a basic motif, whether food, game or tropical fish are used.
I believe that with so many people catching on to the fish theme, this will be the hottest trend for years to come.
