Decorating 2007 Forecast from Design Maven Lynda Reeves
The Vancouver Sun reports that Lynda Reeves, president of House and Home Media, which publishes Canadian House & Home magazine, has forecasted the following home decorating trends for 2007 (Color 2007 report link follows below):
Canadiana: It’s all about the Martha Sturdy resin bowl, the reclaimed maple coffee table from Roots Home Design and, from the HBC Signature Collection, a funky ottoman upholstered in a Hudson’s Bay blanket.
Man Glam: Just when you thought it was safe to exile the black leather sofa and big screen TV to the basement, masculinity is making a mainstream decor comeback, with hard-edged furniture like wooden cube chairs, geometric prints and dark colours such as tobacco showing up in family living spaces.
Pastels: From coffee makers to throw pillows, soft girly colours like powder pink and robin’s egg blue are the hues du jour, which can only mean that the avocado-coloured fridge you threw out 20 years ago is ready for its encore.
Surf Shack: Wicker, monkeypod, grasscloth, driftwood, floral prints, it’s the OC meets the tiki torch meets a Long Beach wetsuit.
Undecorated: Call it eclectic or flea-market chic, but the undone look really does work, but only if mix-and-matchers heed the intricacies of a cohesive colour palette and appropriate proportions.

Update April 8th 2008 - Lynda Reeves at Zeller’s.
We have received dozens of emails regarding Lynda’s new home decor and furniture line. We were unable to locate a website that had her collection - though several do mention they will be carrying her line - those include The Bay, Zeller and Home Outfitters. You can contact Lynda via her magazine “House & Home” for details on where you can find her new collection. styleforliving@hhmedia.com or call (416) 593-0204. Hope this helps 
I’ve been seeing the commercials for Lynda Reeves’ furniture at Zellers, but can’t find it anywhere online. Is there some place that I can view the new line?
I know what you mean….I have been looking all day….those commercials are on all the time….it’s not fair….it’s only a taste and I want to see all the products.
I know what you mean, too!! I’ve been seeing the commercials and have looked online to no avail. I have even gone into a couple of stores so far, and have found NOTHING! I can’t believe there is no information out there about this!
