Fourfall design and decor trends and tips from our designer friends at the Coast Group of Benjamin Moore Stores.
1. Vintage accents. What’s old is new again. Burlap is no longer just for sack-racing. This Earth-friendly fiber is being utilized for pillows imprinted with a vintage stamped design or even a family initial. Vintage lamps (and their replicas) are in this year, especially those with milk glass and natural material bases. Aged, color-washed wood accessories such as candlesticks, vintage radios and bowls are popular and update a time-worn look.
2. Wallpaper! With a decreasing demand for faux finishes and walls painted in solid primary colors, wallpaper is making a comeback in a big and decidedly fashionable way. From bright and bold to subdued and elegant, today’s wallpapers are easy to apply and even easier to remove, making updating the seasonal look of a room easier than ever before. There are a seemingly endless number of choices from solids to patters, and everything in between.
3. Window treatments. While many love fabrics, an overuse of material on your windows can quickly overpower a room. Linen panels are now very trendy since they beautifully outline and soften windows. This look is easily accented by using The Hunter Douglas line of window fashions. Contact Dwight from A Fresh Outlook 604-780-5272 for more information.
4 . Brass. Yes, brass is back but a bit older and wiser. Antiqued brass has made a large comeback on everything from drapery rods, to cocktail tables, to door and cabinet knobs. The light reflecting surface of brass adds warmth, glow and movement to a space and is perfect in a room with a fireplace.
