From the little black dress to a furniture accent or full black wall coverings, the color black is never short on mystery or sophistication. I like to punctuate a room with a few black finishes, accents or hardware to create contrast and drama against lighter tones. Black creates instant elegance and can be used in any room.
Nostalgia and comfort have replaced the previously popular stark modern designs. Rustic vogue is the idea of old and new pieces that work well together; ideal for a home with exposed beams, original floorboards or paneled walls. Cottagecore is rural, yet chic and involves a muted, pastel palette with patterns, along with vintage barware and gold accessories.
Using natural materials is a great way to add texture to any room and can be incorporated into many different aesthetics. The addition of a handmade piece to any design creates a sense of grounding and embodiment in the space.
Fashion and interiors have always been intertwined and paired well in forecasting. Classics, rich organics and simple silhouettes are making a strong statement right now. Modern-day classics and pieces with layers of history mix well, while remaining the warm and embracing appeal in intimate spaces.
