From Fab ’50s to Metal Madness, home design trends abound
For those daring do-ityourselfers,
you might want to
include a few of today’s
newest design trends. But
remember, since most design
trends run on an 8-10 year
cycle, what goes around
eventually comes around
again.
While it’s important that
your redecorating project
reflect your taste and lifestyle,
it’s fun to think about
incorporating a new trend or
two in your overall design.
Here are just a few of today’s
hottest design trends. Surely,
there’s at least one of these
super ideas that would be just
perfect for your.
RETRO
RAGES:
That’s right!
We’re back in
the 50’s-60’s
and 70’s
AGAIN!
Retro touches
might range
form diner-style stools,
chrome and glass tables;
brightly colored cocktail
glasses, beaded lamps – why
even those ever popular lava
lamps have made a big come
back!
GARDEN
GOODIES:
There’s
nothings
more peaceful
that a
beautiful
garden
setting. Mother nature’s
versatile color palette is now
being seen in abundance –
indoors. Today’s
homeowners want their
homes to be
peaceful
settings. As
a result, our
love affair
with our
gardens has
never been
stronger!
From statuaries, to birdbaths
to multifaceted gazing ball,
ornaments accessories
abound.
HANDPAINTED
FURNITURE: If you crave
some individuality in your
decorating, then why not
think about adding a unique
piece of hand painted
furniture to your room. From
end tables to sideboards, wine
racks to coffee tables. Your
own personality can truly
come to the forefront when
you add a uniquely painted
piece of furniture. And don’t
be afraid to mix this newly
acquired treasure with your
existing wood pieces.
METAL
MADNESS: We’re
just mad about
metals! Wrought
iron, burnished
copper, pewter tones
can be found
everywhere –
especially in dramatic vbed
designs. Metal Verdi geris
finishes continue in their
popularity, as do distressed
finishes. Combining wood
and glass with metal is also a
hot look
CLOCKS
COUNT:
Clocks of
every
shape,
design and
style are
abundant!
You’re sure to
find just the perfect
clock accent for any room in
your home. Perhaps your
foyer would be the perfect
setting for a traditionally
designed grandfather clock.
Or maybe your fireplace
mantle is yearning for the
graceful design of a mantle
clock. And don’t forget that
bare wall. Wall clocks have
never been more diverse in
their design – or more
appealing.
COLOR CALLIOPE:
Think about black and white
combos, rich peach shades,
sea foam greens or robin’s egg
blue paired with warm brown.
And don’t forget to include a
golden hue or two if your
walls are in need of a
color face-lift.
It is extremely
important to always
have a firmly
established decorating
plan in place. If this isn’t
something you are
comfortable with then it is
better to meet with a
professional decorator to
discuss your needs and
establish a budget. This will
save both time and costly
mistakes.
