Every new year is a chance to make a new start in your design business, or simply in up-dating your own home. For our Special Report on Design Trends for 2007, we went to the center of the country, to see what designers in mid-America have to say about the trends they're seeing in their work.

For Deb Myers, owner of Distinctive Designs in Fishers, Indiana, 2007 means an exciting, eclectic mix of styles.

"Good design continues to focus on comfort and style but things are less matched," she said. "That is, rooms are done in a combination of styles, Warm Contemporary mixed with Urban, Tuscan accents with Warm Contemporary lines and colors."
