Luxury is a statement and symbol of one's status. That's what everyone dreams of. That's how every one wants to live. Luxury in everything, car, dress, mobiles, gadgets etc. And the Home one lives. Your luxurious things should match your home. If you have a luxurious house and the interiors, nothing can match the respect and dignity it gets you. How would you know what are the trends in home decor?

Trendir.com is a site that fulfils your needs. The site claims that it is an online magazine about high-end home decor products and trends. The site truly lives to its claim. This site has the latest information on the high-end designs and trends of almost all the categories of home decor. You can know the latest designs in faucets, Kitchen furnishings, Beds, Television Stands,
furniture, architecture, fireplaces, flooring, cabinets etc. Just name the category, you have the latest trends on this site.

The site opens faster but the images load a little slower as the pages are long and contain many high resolution photographs. The page is divided into entries and each page accommodates 15 entries. The link for the next 15 entries is placed both in the top and bottom of the page. It looks like a three colum blog. Below the header are links for some of the site's archives. Below the archives are Google Ads. Below the Google Ads is the description of the site. The left and right columns of the site have advertisements. The right column contains the Categories of Home Decor. If you want to know the latest trends of furniture, click that link. The categories are many and almost no category has been left out. Kitchen furnishings, lighting, showers, indoor water falls, are some of the categories that are extensively reported.

The Product is briefly described, explained along with price. The Photograph of the product is also placed to know how the product looks. I must say these pictures are the key for the site. You are attracted somuch to some designs that you will visit the site again and again to see if any new product has arrived. Along with the description, you can know who is selling the product, a link is also provided to the seller's website.

The site is a good source to know the latest trends in home decor and I am sure you will decide what you want for your home.

The draw back of the site is that you will have to endlessly scroll down to read the content. This happens because of the three-column template of the site and the number of entries per page. The width of the middle column where the sites content is written is less and the text goes down the page. Each page contains 15 entries but I strongly felt that it should be restricted to not more than 10 entries which will lessen the strain of scrolling.

The site has RSS feeds to enable you stay in touch with the trends from your browser.

If you are a building a luxurious house or a freak of home decor, this site is one of the best ones out there for you.

The site wins more on the content rather than the usability.

I give Moderate thumbs up to the site.
