Flower Power Punch!
An homage to the 1960's flower power motif, we bring you a popular design trend: Layering Bold Floral Patterns. From wallpapers covered in lively, upbeat floral glory to upholstery in loud eccentric buds, these statement floras mix wonderfully with vivid-colored solid counterparts. As we look ahead to Summer 2013, we're captivated by these magnificent beauties.. See the full blog post here!

The Art of Ikat
Ranging from hippie chic, to tribal safari to elegant embellishment, Ikat is a highly sought after material due to the time, effort and precision that goes into making it. There are many variations of Ikat, as it has origins in India, Japan and many South East Asian countries. The meaning of the word "Ikat" is "to bind". The tying and dyeing process is similar to "tie dying", however the fabric is dyed as it's woven, creating intricate geometric shapes and patterns. The result is both interesting and exotic. This trend has hit the market hard in the past few years. In both woven and graphic depictions, the "Ikat" continues to populate fashion as well as interiors; trending in dresses, pillows, and accessories - even iphone cases!

Design 101: The Golden Ratio
Back to the Basics
Prime the Flux Capacitor, and secure your time-travel helmets for this installment of Design 101. We will be reaching back, way back, to discover the origins of modern design through the birth of geometry and the Arabic numerical system. If all that does not sound like enough fun for you, there are even algebraic formulas you can try out for yourself! So, hold on tight, here we go!
Our first stop on this trip is ancient Alexandria around 300 BCE. There the "Father of Geometry", Euclid, is writing what will become one of the most influential works of mathematics the world has ever seen. Amongst the many significant geometric observations Euclid records the Golden Ratio. Simply put this means, a+b is to a as a is to b. Continued on the blog.

Black & White
Design & Decor Trends
Crisp, timeless and always a glimmer of elegance, the classic black & white color combo will never go out of style. An homage to the great Dorothy Draper, black and white flooring juxtaposed with ornate window casings and doorways create an alluring quality. A great amount of attention is placed on balance and proportion. Accessories are dramatic and highly detailed while the color palettes remain simple but exciting.
