spring and summer trends.
one of the best things about spring in the design world is the High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina. there are now several large markets throughout the year; but High Point is the original and best.
a quick summary of what happens at High Point. designers get to see all the new introductions from furniture – artwork – upholstery (the list goes on and on….) manufacturers from all over the world. most introductions won’t be available to consumers for many month’s but we get a sneak peak and a chance to place orders first. it is a great place to see the upcoming trends for the year in all things design.
black was still strong and you will see that in some of my favorites from market. the great thing about black is that you can soften it with a more muted palette or make it stronger by interjecting some bold primary colors.
gray has been toned down with some brown for more of a woodland vibe
mossy green looked great in velvet and leather
burnished gold was stunning in furniture accents and accessories
blues in all shades but I loved the blues that were a little more subdued and faded with pops of a deeper navy and natural saffron.
that look has inspired a new model home we are working on!

this has long been one of my favorite companies. they have a stunning new line of murals from Zoe Bios that are on trend with their use of color and graphics. we are using this one in a teen bedroom. www.tempaper.com

this desk from Arteriors is high class all the way – we are using it in a formal library with a chartreuse linen wall treatment. www.arteriorshome.com
