Lucite (or acrylic) is a clear favorite.

Lucite is the name brand of acrylic name for a kind of acrylic resin that is basically the same thing as Plexiglas.

As the fictional Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) of The Big Bang Theory explains, “Jacuzzi is a commercial brand, hot tub is the generic term, i.e., all Jacuzzis are hot tubs, but not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis.”

Chinoiserie

Layering

Layering instantly adds depth to a space.

I can’t tell you how many times layering rugs has worked to the advantage of pulling the overall look together while solving size issues.

Layering is a wonderful design option when decorating with rugs, decorative throw pillows of contrasting colors and textures, and decorative accessories.

Far be it from me to doubt the powerhouse visual impact that is the color black or the words of Jan Showers.

“Every room needs a touch of black, just as it needs at least one antique piece.”

– Jan Showers

Antiques

Every home, if only in one very special place and in one very central space, deserves the period at the end of the sentence decor statement made by adding an antique piece of furniture or accessory into its furnishings portfolio.

You may quote me on that.

Antiques are investment pieces, generally appreciating in monetary value. Mixing the old with the new yields a fabulous look with a return on the investment one of maximum decorative impact.

Jewel Tones

Jewel tones envelope the space in a full-on color Odyssey.

Rich in depth, tone and never met a home decor accent these colors don’t love to embellish influence, jewel tones make a compelling argument for striking color implementation.

Kitchen islands will move further into the kitchen design spotlight in 2017.

Central to prep and functionality, the kitchen island is coming into its own as a standard vs. optional feature in today’s kitchen design.

Design and Home Decor Trends of 2013

My decorative and design energy is fired up for the New Year.

I’ve spent the last few days checking things out fresh and new for 2013 aka the design and home decor trends of 2013.

As we all know, fresh and new is not always fresh and new.

You may spot more than one renewed, refreshed, repurposed, and/or reinvented idea from decor trends pasts.

That’s the great thing about good trends- they possess the quality, look, and decorative chops  to become even better the second, third or hundredth time around when done very well.

Like, love or hate them- the decor trends and forecasts are in.

Color is color once again, a romantic renaissance is coming back around and look what blast from the past is set to lead the way- the big brass band of beauty.

Layering for warmth also applies to inside warmth, comfort, and coziness.

Layers of color on color, texture on texture, pattern on pattern- pile it on!

What could be easier than spot updates?

Better Homes & Gardens

Adding lux linens and throws in seasonal fabrics, patterns and colors will infuse the look, the feel of comfort, and softened impressions to the space. 

Traditional Home

You’ll hit a trending trifecta with this wood, metallic, and gold gilded drift wood sconce from Clayton Gray Home.

Wood accents, meticulous metals including going for the bold and gold, texture, pattern, and shades of green will make an impact on the interior design and decor radar for 2013.

Antiques as pieces of art will serve as focal points and conversation pieces.

Better Homes & Gardens

I’m thrilled to see the encouraged use of antiques as art coming around.

Last week as I was viewing Million Dollar Decorators I was cheering on Jeffrey Alan Marks.

His comments regarding the use of antiques as the final touch of personality in decor made me an instant follower of his train of thought.

Unique.,

One-of-a-kind.

Unusual.

Whimsy.

Conversation pieces.

Yes, yes and YES!

If only one piece brings this to the space then I say bring it!

Can you tell I’m a huge fan of antiques as art?

It’s a new year full of new trends. I’m definitely inspired!

Are you?
