Trends for 2017

sophia collection from Pottery Barn
I am seeing some distinct trends for 2017.
The colors are neutrals, used with lots of textures.
Mixing periods of furnishings in the  same room.

Lots of patterns, checks & plaids, florals.
Leather, fur, and vintage fabrics.
Lighter woods with a flat, dry finish.
Rough and smooth, in fabric and woods.

In this photo from Pottery Barn, you'll see some indo-chinese furnishings with a shabby slipcovered chair, and  a contemporary leather sofa.

It is all brought together with a calm color scheme of neutrals, with blue & coral,

Notice how the artwork & accessories on the floating shelf in the background are not centered, but are  2 separate yet cohesive vignettes.




Williams Sonoma



 In this photo from Williams Sonoma, you'll notice a very cool and calm look.  Larger scale furnishings and accessories.   Again, neutrals, with blue added.    A  suble pattern in the carpet, as well as in the pillows and tray.

Our homes say alot about who we are.     At this time of year, we make changes to accommodate our holiday furnishings.  We might do something big, like repaint a room, or just add some accessories to freshen things up. Some of my favorite things are:  A nice cozy throw, to add warmth, texture, color A patterned rug, over the top of a sisal Plants and flowers to add a sense of life Good scented candles, subtle & seasonal Interesting chairs for extra seating Trays to organize remotes,  books & accessories
