The Mediterranean styles have been replaced by lighter, more natural looking designs that fit in with today's trend to eclectic or the mixing of styles in home decorating. ‘Strict rules for decorating that preyailed for years no longet old. Things no fonger must match, and a room doesn't have to be entirely furnished in one-atyle. Instead, grand- mother's old sewing table can go side by side with new items so the consumer has the ‘option to create individual ar- rangements. Personality reigns supreme.
