Now that January is in full swing and all the resolutions are either work in progress or forgotten it's time to see what is going on in the design world for 2017. Our home is where life happens, the place where we love to relax, and the place we love to decorate. So where do you start? I thought I would share with you what is "HOT" for 2017.

Green and more Green.

Pantone comes out with their colors for the year every year and we just love Greenery this year. Add some green this year into your house and if you are just not bold enough to add a Green Sofa or Green Chairs, add green throw pillows somewhere or just add green plants.

Did I say Marble? Oh yeah, lots of Marble everywhere!!

You might be used to seeing Marble countertops in bathrooms and kitchens but now you are going to see Marble everywhere and you can add some in your home now too.

Posh Velvet

Velvet is so glamours. We are seeing Velvet everywhere on sofa's and chairs, and even rugs. I have to tell you Velvet feels so good and just makes you happy. Not only is Velvet beautiful and glamours it is so durable, this is definitely my go to when a client has cats.

Wallpaper is Back and it's Big!

Wallpaper has made it's way back into our life, and this makes me so happy. The new wallpaper is bold and dramatic. You will see a lot of Floral Wallpaper and Geometric Patterned Wallpaper this year. Don't be afraid to go bold.

Black is Back! That is Black Hardware

I am so excited about this trend as Black and White are two of my favorite colors. We are so used to seeing Gold and Chrome Hardware, this is going to be such a nice change and one I will be using as much as I can.
