High Point Market Trends

by: debbie

Isn’t there a saying that the only thing constant in life is change?

That’s especially true when it comes to interior decor trends. Just when you fall in love with the current styles, High Point Market comes around where they introduce the latest and greatest design fashions. This fall’s fashion forward trends are a reinvention of some very timeless and traditional styles.

Today we take our first look at what Home Accents Today is calling the first look:

Aegean Odyssey

Colors include Dark Blue and Turquoise (think taking a Mediterranean cruise and the deep blue waters and white houses you’d see in your journeys). With this look you combine rattan and bone with designs from classical antiquity. If you’re daring add a little nautical flair to the look. And a little Greek design element as well.

Traditional inlay bone chairs with simplified patterns and linen fabric seats.

Made Goods

Hemp rope wrapped around a linen drum lamp pendant.

Ro Sham Beaux

A tonal melange of cool blue hues that mimic the color of Mediterranean water.

DB Sources

A litte nautical flair with a blue chain linked patterned rug.

Delos Rugs

A classical footed urn with ancient appeal.

Moe’s Home Collection

Classic fluted urns with handcrafted bone tiles.

Lazy Susan USA

An ornament mirror with Greek key fretwork.

The Import Collection

(Next Up: Asian Fusion-What could that be?)

Curve Trend

by: keighley

The 2010 Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan saw an emergence of Watermelon Pink in home accents! It’s forecasted to be the favored accent color for 2011.

My little birdie failed to send me the exact Watermelon Pink color, so the following pictures are a guess of what it may look like.

I love the subtle pink accents in this room.

These rooms definitely do pink right!

Trend Curve

by: keighley

At the Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, Gold paired with Slate Grey was voted cutest couple! I kid.

Gold mixed with Slate Grey appeared as the more sophisticated version of the Yellow/Grey duo that’s been so popular. (Yellow and Grey is forecasted to remain big for AT LEAST the next year!) The golds for 2011 go beyond the typical Tuscany look and are said to be “remaking luxury with understated sparkle.”

Grey & Yellow Going Strong!

Adding A Little Animal…

by: debbie

I seriously thought that animal print was going to be out of style by now. But it’s a trend that is still going strong-both in fashion and home decor.

With the great selection of Animal Patterns available to choose from for your fashion and home decor-it’s easy it add a touch of it to any look. Pick your favorite animal patterned print (cow, crocodile, snake, zebra, leopard, tiger and giraffe) and celebrate the diversity of the natural world with these fun, funky prints. Believe it or not, using an Animal Print is very versatile and extremely eye-catching. So the next time you want to make a statement, how about adding a little animal?

Remember that a little animal print goes a long ways…

(I love the simplicity of this zebra print rug.)

(See how a little bit of brown animal print can soften so much blue?)

(I love the color orange paired with animal prints.)

Animal Print Fashions

This trend seems to work with everything you might have in your closet as well. A striking leopard print scarf can liven up a basic black dress in an instant or a bright outfit can handle a little polished zebra print. Or how about pairing some cheetah print shoes with jeans and a tee shirt? It’s as simple as adding a little animal print to help your fashion style look like a million bucks.
