Decorating trends tend to be cyclical and usually last about eight to 10 years. What goes around definitely comes around! Here are just a few design trends spotted in recent months:
Hardware Happenings: Window treatments have never been more beautiful. Today they are accented by a variety of unusually designed hardware. Finials, metal rods and side brackets can be found in metals, woods, ceramic, glass, etc.
Whimsical Design: Have some fun by adding a touch of the extraordinary-something lighthearted to give rooms a complete lift. Small touches like lamp finials and handpainted lampshades are easy ways to accomplish this.
Eclectic Style: This mix-and-match craze continues to be popular. Try combining wood tones and design styles to achieve a truly eclectic look. Anything goes to express unique style when mixing contemporary designs with traditional accents.
