We love the holidays but we’re also very excited about 2014. January used to be one of my least favorite months until we started going to the Americas Mart over 10 years ago. Now, it’s a great way to kick off a new year and so exciting to see the new design trends. The Atlanta Market is followed by Maison D’Objet in Paris and Ambiente in Frankfurt and then we’ll receive complete trend reports from the companies that we design product lines for and we’ll share them here with you. In the meantime, you can find some design directions that will be trending in 2014…
Bejeweled Kitchens — kitchens have gone from functional to fabulous with gorgeous new finishes and incredible new materials. I love this one from one of our favorite designers and South Carolina native Kelly Wearstler…
Agate — we’re seeing this everywhere and we’ve already fallen for it ourselves with the creation of our LACQUER LOVE BOXES…
Honey Wood — wood is warming up and it only makes sense since gold is also back in a big way…
Turquoise — I’ve always loved this color and it’s showing up on the radar. We’re working on a teenage girl’s bedroom that was just painted turquoise and it’s like stepping inside an incredible cocoon of coolness…
Blurred Lines — Love bringing the outside in and the inside out, especially if you live in the south…
This is our last blog for the year so hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We’ll be headed to Atlanta right after the holidays and can’t wait to share everything we find right here with you.
