Design Trend :: Brass in Home Decor

For some time now, silver or nickel decor, hardware and accents have dominated interior design. In the past few years however, golden brass tones have been making a comeback in home decor. And although many of my clients aren’t willing to make the leap just yet, brass is back in a big way. Whether shiny or honed, the rich warm metallic is being featured in every inch of the home.

As head into the second half of the year, geometric patterns continue to be hot. And of course, I personally love the look. So, I flipped when I spotted the beautiful porcelain hardware line created by ceramics artist, Julie Moon exclusively for Anthropologie. Reminiscent of gems and candy sticks, Moon’s Lulu Knobs and Wall Hooks are fresh, fun and playful.

Home Decor Trend :: Rock On

Gorgeous stones seem to be popping up everywhere these days! Although not a new home decor trend, quartz,  malachite, amethyst and agate are just some of the natural minerals being featured in furnishings, lighting and accessories. It’s simply stunning how natural rock can be transformed into sleek, beautiful forms that give a space that special touch.

Friday Find :: Coastal Art by Swiden

With summer in full gear, the Coast Collection by Australian-based artist, Charlotte Swiden grabbed my attention.  The designs and creative techniques are influenced by Charlotte’s Swedish heritage, love of nature and childhood spent on the southern shores of Sweden (and yes, she was born with the name Swiden). Colorful, playful and reminiscent of summer days by the ocean, these linen wall hangings come in two sizes.

Like most Swedes she likes order, structure, white space and more white space.

Swiden also offers the collection as note-cards. I think these would be darling framed and hung as a series.

Happy Friday!
