Tantalizing Trends!

Buzz and excitement were the underlying tones of the Trend Forecast presentation put on at the Boston Design Center that I recently had a chance to attend! It is always an exciting time of year for designers, new forecast for upcoming trends and the furnishings show at the High Point Market last week. I love seeing all the new colors and products coming out in the next few months and in general look forward to using them in upcoming projects! The Furniture Show was exciting with wonderful new finishes such as limed oak and slipcover looks to create a "Rough Luxe" look

Here are few of the Trends that were forecasted!

Tribal
Industrial Chic or Rough Luxe!

Bauhaus Mid Century Modern!
Simple Sophisticated with Neutrals!
Revived with Bold Color!

Follow me the next couple of weeks as I take you through each trend!

Animal Magnetism

Lions, Tigers and Bears, OH MY! How many of you out there have something from the Wild Kingdom in your home? If you are like me, many of you have at least a pillow, rug or throw that resembles the hide of hide of one of our "furry friends" If not, fall is a wonderful time of year to add this great accessory to your home or Model Home. Here are some of my favorites!
