We saw lots of human faces on vases at the High Point Market, but animals were losing their heads, too! We expect to see more of these at the next market.

Bust A Move? The traditional Roman bust as decor started a few years ago. Now they are more expressive! Creativity is encouraged by opening the top and allowing us to give them a hairstyle.

How can this trend work in your home? MyDomaine says it can make your home feel like a museum. Here’s HGTV’s guide for adding vintage faces to your space.

Avocados were a millennial favorite and now we all eat them. Who knew Brussels sprouts were such an essential? Now mushrooms are showing up on menus everywhere, even in coffee. Could this mushroom motif trend become a home decor trend, too? Elle just called them design’s hottest trend and they were all over High Point, too!

This trend may even still be in the fad category right now. It first appeared a few years ago with “fumed” oak flooring and then the matte black trend. Now it is appearing in accessories. I look forward to how this plays out in the upcoming year.

We have been overloaded with geometric shapes over the last decade. Now we see the same ideas recreated with curves and circles. The trend is making the rounds. Read Chloe Dimink’s take on the curved sofa trend and Savvy Heart’s piece about curved furniture.

Over the years we have seen black and white trends and matte black and gold trends. Now we are seeing matte black and white with natural colors and materials. Some showrooms called it “Primitive Modern.”

For the next few weeks I’ll be sharing spring market trends with you in a series. My first pick is all about naturals. Grass, Rattan, Caning…if it is natural and you can weave it we saw it! Palacek and Schwung both feature looks that embrace Mother Nature. This trend isn’t only visible at High Point, RHome magazine even did an a piece on where to find nature-inspired decor in Richmond, Virginia.

Whether you are tired of your current interior because you’ve been staying indoors for months or you are just ready to brighten up your space and let that fun summer energy in, these interior design ideas are for you. Let’s enjoy the sunny vibes all day long from the comfort of your own home.

Kitchens are on my mind! I have so many in the works right now in an effort to be ready for the holidays that I thought I would share some tips.

We experience life through our five senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. A balanced interior design should also ignite these senses. By making sure they are all taken care of in your daily environment, you will enjoy a more harmonious experience.

It doesn’t always have to be about making a big move, breaking down walls, or repainting all the rooms. Sometimes, we just need to change things up a little, to keep things interesting by making a few changes in our environment. What a better time to do it than during Spring? Here are some ideas to celebrate the blooming season and freshen up the feeling in your home.

We all have a singular style; we are made of a combination of elements that makes us truly unique. We like things a certain way and we have our own specific point of view. Some things make us feel good while others make us on edge. Your house is your safe space and you want to make sure it reflects exactly who you are.

You use your kitchen multiple times a day. Making sure it is both functional and enjoyable is really important. When you feel good in your kitchen, you will also feel more inspired to cook more often, to experiment with new recipes, to host people… all that will contribute to your general wellbeing.

As interior designers, we get our inspiration from different sources. The trends of the year, the newest colors and shades, the most efficient material based on recent research, the local and historic culture of our town. If you can’t travel far this year, let us take you on a little world tour of practices and styles and how people around the globe decorate their homes.

Whether you are a coach, a teacher, a therapist, an accountant… if you are planning on meeting with your clients at your home office, you need to make sure it is created intentionally. The way you will design your office will have a big importance on how your clients will feel.

Have you ever spent the day organizing and cleaning only to wake up two days later feeling like you could spend another afternoon doing it all over again? If that happens to you, you might want to dedicate one afternoon to organizing your space on a deeper level so that you don’t run into the same issues over and over. These tips and tricks will not only tidy up your space now but make it easy to keep it organized in the future.

You know that feeling when you wake up in a posh hotel room? It seems like the world is spoiling you and anything is possible… That special sensation feels so good when you’re not at home. Why not replicate it in your own bedroom?

Who says we can’t have a proper date night at home even in quarantine? And yes, this applies even if you are by yourself. Trust us, this is going to spice things up from your daily lockdown routine and you’ll enjoy feeling like the most special person in the room.

The difference between your house and your home is the feeling of safety, comfort, and love that you get when you are in your home. Your home is more than just a place to sleep at night. It’s a place to create memories, to grow, to rest, to feel good.
