Let's Talk Trends



It's true that design follows trends in fashion. You will hear us talk about this more from time to time, but this fall we are seeing this more than ever. Modernists at heart, we love clean lines with a play on textures to create a warm inviting space, but even in our office we seem to see a shift in our own personal style. Playing with large scale graphic patterns and stripes,
bold colors and jewel tones are making their way back in unexpected hues. These colors combined with grays or navy create a sophistication with punch. We have always loved the unexpected used of mixing a classic or traditional piece within a clearly modern space. The careful balance of mixing traditional and clean lined furniture is also a huge trend in both hotels and in the home. This fall we will be exploring these trends and giving you more examples in furniture, lighting and accessories. We will also talk about how these trends are influenced by green design. As Leed AP designers we find it fascinating how far this movement continues to grow.

Next week we will talk more about our upcoming events and give you another update from Lea's European travels. Remember, we would love to hear from you. Please comment below or go to thestudionv@gmail.com with your questions or topics
