For this summer's New York International Gift Fair, five design trends for 2013 are on display. The trends — recognized by editors at Home Textiles Today and Home Accents Today — are represented among 80 products that were chosen by One Kings Lane, and Pantone assigned a unique color palette to each trend. According to the exhibit, here's what you can expect to see more of in the upcoming year: American Vintage, French Moderne Way, Linen Revival, Graphic Modern, and Marrakesh Express. We've rounded up some of our favorite on-trend products for each category, so click through to see our must-have picks.
