Think warmth and character when selecting accent pieces or designing a new space. With cool colors dominating color palettes the last several years, a return to vibrancy is a welcome change. “[We’re seeing] warmer tones with brushed brass, rich woods and woven leathers,” says Madison interior designer Alexis Garrett Blake. “[There is also a trend toward] greener living by incorporating antiques and reclaimed materials.” Garrett Blake assembled a mood board based off of her inspirations right now.
