What’s new and hot?
Question: What’s new and hot in home decor?
ANSWER: Decorating your home has never been more exciting. There is literally something for everyone. The earth and spice tones along with leather and a wide array of plush chenille fabrics continue to be very popular. This combination will give the room a warm and cozy feel. For all of you that are tired of the warm tones, I have very exciting news. Color is back. Bold, bright and fun; more variations of color than the largest box of crayons you can imagine! Just think of all the possibilities. Furniture market was in April and the buyers came back very excited. Technology in the textile industry has produced some very exciting new fabrics. They are not only bright and bold, but also durable. Micro-fibers, which were introduced a few years ago, feel and look like suede but is extremely durable. The new micro-fiber fabrics are both plain and patterned and have a completely different feel than the micro-fibers we've known before, and thanks to technology, these fabrics have taken durability to a new level.
