What home trends are you most excited about right now?
- Brass finishes and fixtures are a trend we hope is here to stay. Accenting a room with brass lighting, fixtures or hardware adds so much warmth to that space.
- We love the popularity of warm wood tones in cabinets, room accents and furniture. Not only does it warm up a space and make it feel more inviting, it also complements other natural elements and textures such as stone and fabrics.
- We cannot seem to get enough of arches. Adding an arch into a space is such an easy way to soften it and add interest and dimension, and it creates a well-defined focal point.
What are your favorite budget-friendly ways to refresh a room?
Paint, lighting and furniture are the easiest ways to update any space on a budget. A soothing, updated paint color sets the tone for adding in beautiful furnishings that is pleasing to the eye. We love classic lighting and we believe it is one of the most important elements and can have a big impact when updating any space.
