POP WITH COLOR:
You can always start with the Pantone Color of the Year. Which happens to be a bold & bright Ultra Violet 18-3838. Use this color in small details throughout your home like in your area rug, vase for flowers, pillows, even a accent wall color. We suggest going to your local paint/home impor store to take home some chip samples to experiment with.
WARM WELCOMING PATTERNS & PRINTS
Prints are a great way to experiment with pattern. Frame, then simply lean and layer on a sideboard for a display that’s effective but easy to switch around. Always consider proportion. About 40 to 60 percent of the room can be patterned. Use bigger prints on areas where you want to draw the eye and smaller prints on areas you want to recede. Think of patterns in a room as friends or family. They’re all going to have their own personalities, strengths, and inclinations, and figuring out how they play together is what makes it interesting. And remember to have fun! Pattern is the best tool for telling your story. If you love it, you can always find a way make it work.
HOT HOME FURNISHING TRENDS
FLORALS
Florals are so hot right now. If you’ve been considering incorporating this trendy look into your home, summer is the perfect time to make the leap. From wallpaper to shower curtains to the throw pillows seen in this colorful room, it’s easy to add a pop of nature to any room in your house. Bonus: You won’t have to worry about keeping these flowers alive.
MOROCCAN
This is another trend that has been around for a while, but isn’t going anywhere. The sun may be blistering outside, but you can enjoy a desert-inspired look inside in the comfort of your air conditioning. We also love Moroccan lanterns; hang them on your porch or sun room for instant exotic flair.
BUTTERFLIES
They may seem too whimsical at first glance, but trust us–butterflies are in. From wallpaper to rugs, butterfly pattern is trendy and super cute. This amazing butterfly print is a tame way to get the look without going overboard. Hang these over your couch, your bed or even in a large master bathroom to add a bit of nature to your space.
