What I would call a true nature inspired green seems to be the go-to color for this year. This window showed a wide range of nature inspired greens in everything from outerwear...

This fountain is another find at the Great Big Home & Garden Show in Cleveland this year. I saw it and fell in love with it immediately. Of course I do like natural, rustic design, but the gurgle of the water and shimmer of the stones is almost mesmerizing. This wasn’t the only water feature...

A recent visit to a Designer Show House opened my eyes to the popularity of the color…or lack of color…“gray”! Some of the rooms were designed with gray as the main color but done in varying shades as you see in this lovely contemporary living room setting.

Another quick shot from the Show House I recently visited. This is a detail we’ve seen on clothing before and I’m not surprised that it made it to home fashions. Notice the seams on this high end chair. Instead of the serged edges and seam allowances being hidden inside the upholstery, they are on the...

Last week I visited a Designer Show House in our area and found one color that was a common thread throughout most of the home. That color is “grey”. This room was all done in varying shades of it and other rooms had it as accents or backgrounds or in details. I took lots of...

How to Use Color Trends in Your Home

Shari Hiller — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:18:23 +0000

Color trends are just one thing to think about when you are decorating, just like knowing what is on sale at the grocery We don’t track trends too closely because we want people to decorate to make themselves happy, not follow the trends.

Grab magazines, and catalogs for that matter, and look beyond the main focus of the photos to check out some of the most interesting ways to accessorize rooms.
