DESIGN TREND #1 .......TRIBAL

Last post I mentioned the many trends I had seen over the last months forecasting events that I had attended. So today"s post will cover the first trend.....Tribal. Today our lives are complicated, busy, hectic so we often seek the safety and comfort of our homes, families and friends. There is also something that compells us to seek out the traditions and histories of enduring cultures. Some of the cultures come from far away lands such as Africa and Moroco or from our own American Native Tribes. In this design sensibility we see warm earthy color such as Red Ochre, Greens and Copper mixed with hides of animals, Hopi Pottery and Kuba cloth. Below are a few of my favorite finds!
