Here’s a trend that you’ll see in fashion and décor.  Don’t worry about matching anymore, mixing metals creates depth in your room and adds a feeling of comfort.  While copper is home design’s current favorite, you truly can choose any metals out of the bunch.  Decorating with metallics is simple and provides a huge impact.

Dramatic Chandeliers

Create good drama in any room with a gorgeous chandelier.  Don't feel restricted to dining rooms!  While chandeliers look amazing anchored above a table, living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, and even kitchens are borrowing this trend.  A stunning chandelier can bring any room to the next level.

Timeless Design

While contemporary and modern design have been popular, we are seeing a transition back to timeless design.  Many people feel that classic silhouettes and details provide a sense of comfort in their rooms.  There's nothing wrong with a little nostalgia, but we love mixing this trend with a few transitional and contemporary touches to bring it up to date.

Drama and Glamour

Pull from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to bring a little luxury into your home.  This trend doesn't have to be overwhelming, but some simple sleek lines, geometric accents, and hints of gold can go a long way.

All about the Blues

While blue has been trending in interior design for a few seasons already, now we are seeing a transition to peacock blues, spa blues, and indigo blues.  Whether you use blue throughout your space as an accent color or as a body fabric on your room's focal piece of upholstery, it's easy to find fabrics with a variety of blue hues.

Grey Stays

That’s right, this not-so-new neutral is still trending for 2014.  Moving toward a monochromatic look, grey is still a go-to for wall colors, rugs, furniture finishes, and upholstery colors.  While shades of gray vary, look towards combining different hues to create a room filled with variations of grey!
