When a new year starts, we are always so eager to see what
trends are creating buzz in the design world. This year, modernity has
definitely taken a new approach with zigzag patterns increasing in popularity,
eco-savvy décor projects making a stand and geometrically chic rugs that
capture all that is hip in 2012. As usual, we remain right on target with
designs that truly showcase the trends making headway this year.
Naturally whimsical, the herringbone design is definitely a
favourite. We love this classic look and suggest pairing it with a mat that has
the same pattern.

Go Green
An Ikea picked
bamboo plant was a must-have … last season. This year, let’s move away from the
small and lanky, to the tall and green. Having large indoor plants is
definitely a trend we are on board with. Yes, it requires a tad more in upkeep,
but the rewarding design element makes it well worth it. To minimize plant
maintenance, try using Multy Home’s eco-friendly garden stones. Made entirely
from recycled rubber, it protects floors from water and soil spillage; a
definite must-buy this year.

Geometric Getaway
Last spring, chevron was zigzagging all over the place and
now geometric patterns continue, with bold stripes, asymmetrical
squares and bright shapes. This definitely hit a chord with us, so we developed
some designs that hit the mark with this evolving trend, which, by the way, we
absolutely love.

For even more designs, we recommend checking out Elle
Décor’s “Pattern Under Foot” and, of course, our Pinterest page.

Oh, Martha...
When discussing anything ‘living’ we definitely need to
think about Ms. Stewart: Ms. Martha Stewart that is. Her paint colors are
absolutely stunning and are sold at The Home Depot. To make your decorating experience more fulfilling, here are
some motivational looks to keep you on track.
