TREND #4.....REFRESHED

The final of the four trends for 2010 packs a whole lot of punch with bold use of color taking much of it's inspiration from vintage 60" and 70's. Infusing dashes and splashes of a bold single color into a neutral backdrop draws the eye around a room or space to space for a revived and refreshed atmosphere. Think of Crisp Fresh Greens, Lemon Yellow, Orange and Violet mixed with neutrals like navy, beige and white in Missoni knits, Pucci prints and Hermes scarfs. This trend will surely lift your spirits with a fresh dose of optimism. Head to MOMA or your local museum of modern art for inpiration!

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
