A: Rustic glamour, reclaimed wood furniture mixed with fabulous lucite and chrome accents - design elements that reflect both modern, glamorous pieces mixed with unexpected raw materials like concrete or wood, super tactile, great layering.
Q: What are we seeing when it comes to:
Colour
A: Every shade of white is strong. Grey continues to be a strong colour, with soft mixes of brown, inspired by nature, stone and soil.
Furniture
A: Green is making a play. We're seeing a lot of 60s-inspired lime green, leaf green, muted pastel and earthy tones, but done in luxe fabrics with graphic patterns and lots of texture.
Walls
A: Wallpaper has exploded! Three-dimensional fabric both layered and embellished - everything from glitzy damask’s to fabulous organic birch inspired.
Accessories
A: Again, upscale eclectic chic is evident in accessories. Think: Accessories that incorporate old and new, like an oversized, ornate mirror done in a stunning ornate shiny black laminate frame. Eclectic "found" objects, such as old bottles and curiosities continue to be popular.
Q: Is eco-design/decor still a “trend”? How can people make greener choices for their homes?
A: Yes, I think it has surpassed being a "trend" and become a way of life. People think before they buy. I think it changes how we shop. We ask ourselves what or who was harmed in making a particular product, will it last, will it end up in a landfill? If everyone starts thinking this way, a greener way of life (and probably a more stylish one) will evolve.
