The upcoming trends for the new year are exciting ones. Embellishments are STILL big! We are seeing them not only on clothing, they have taken the home front by storm. Trim, pillows, bedding, and anything else you can think of can be embellished or "glittified."

Wallpaper has been coming on strong, and the newer materials we are seeing are really exciting. Grasscloths have stood the test of time. Now they are emblazoned with geometric patterns and overpainted with other designs. Micas, metals, glass beads, wood veneers, and mother of pearl all make spectacular statements.
A subtle Art Deco influence is being seen on the runways and in the home; double points if it's in the color of the year, emerald.

The juxtaposition of contemporary and traditional elements happily co existing is really more than a trend, it's here to stay. An infusion of well curated objects from a myriad of periods bring warmth and sophistication to any space.

Artisan, hand-made looking, or Americana type interiors. With an uncertain economy, we want assurances that our home is our sanctuary, and are comforted in a way that best expresses us.
