Trend Spotting

I am constantly sourcing things online and seeing lots of interiors.  So, I thought it would be fun to show you some recent trends that have been popping up.  Some of these may surprise you.

First, up the Buffalo Check . . . 

It's very traditional and many of you may feel it's never been out.  But I am seeing it more and more these days.  In fact the new issue of Traditional Home is featuring a stunning kitchen with upholstered chairs in a large scale check.

I have to say, the more recent sitings have been paired with less traditional fabrics as in this example . . .

Up next, black and white interiors.  I'm not sure if this is a mini trend or whether it will have some staying power, but it is hot hot at the moment . . . 

Last up - Mixing metal tones.  We all know that brass is back - it's actually been back for the last couple of years in an antique version.  However, now I'm seeing the mixing of the warm tone metals with the cooler toned metals.  The best way to pull of this look is by throwing in  the champagne tones in frames and metallic linens to connect the dots.

Here's the frame color I'm talking about. . . 

Happy Monday! Enjoy your day. M.
