Home Decor Style Fall Forecast
This fall season home design is all about contrast and surprise. Merging traditional styles with stark colors to give birth to a new version of modern design. It’s about breaking with the conventional and embracing the bold and adventurous.
Haute Couture Style - Dahlings, the latest in home accessories and decor design has been inspired by the feminine and sophisticated run way collections of Chanel and Oscar de la Renta. It’s drama and it’s elegance from your home’s ceilings to her floors. The trend is black lace and lacy patterns juxtoposed upon stark white backgrounds for a stunning play in contrast.
Speaking of Black & White - High drama and confident sophistication are in play with the simple yet elegant color palette of black and white. The use of black and white as the primary colors in home decor and accessories has allowed designers to combine styles such as modern with classic creating a new style. This sleek, elegant style combines design elements that in the past would have been at odds with each other such as contemporary granite, traditional crystal, leather and fur. Now all those elements blend to create a harmonious design scheme to please even the most picky of home owners.
