I was recently asked by a newspaper journalist for their “HomeStyle” section, what trends I’m noticing, products that are hot. What’s Happening.  After brainstorming I came up with a few ideas:

Current Trends I’m Seeing and Incorporating:

• Vintage – Artwork / Kitschy Objects / Furniture (Guest Chairs) / Lamps (Very Cool)
• Natural Grain / Wax Finish – Unfinished White Oak or Wax Finished White Oak any grainy wood looks great with a wax finish.
• Layering Rugs – Carpet with layered rug on top for pattern and color.  Layering two rugs, cowhide rugs with other prints such as zebra.
• Custom Artwork – Museum finish, deep cut matboard, high quality mats with simple yet solid wood frames.  Black is almost to easy and overdone.
• Art Arrangements – Mixing the old and new in tight arrangements clustered on walls.  Collage of art work mixed with objects. Canvas and open prints with no glass.
• Piles of Style – Showing off your books in a mixed arrangements on shelves, adding in metal, pottery, ceramics, lamps.  No more coffee table books, get them piled up.  You read, show off your collection.
• Screen Printed Grass Cloth – goes beyond the basic adding pattern to texture.
• Linen – Pillows, drapery, upholstery a soft hand, nice drape, natural colors, neutral base.
