( Interior Trends for 2013 )

What will this year bring in the design world? I think this year is going to be another cool year for great interior and furniture:

COLOURS:
Look out for some great mixture of strong colours working alongside some beautiful muted tones.
I am hoping colour is back on the key trend chart this year. I am confident that some of the great 1950's tone are making their way into 2013 with soft pink, mint green and baby grey/blue. These combined with deep peach and strong coral accents will truly awaken the senses.

MATERIALS:
I have always been a huge lover of Gold/Brass and Walnut, as most of you know, but this year I have a strong feeling that white Marbles with Golds and Brass will make a strong appearance in 2013. Marbles such as Carrera and Calacatta, with inlays of Gold or Brass... Yum :)

What do you think?

Stocking Fillers...
Over the next 2 weeks I will be putting together some lovely ideas for Christmas gifts and snazzy stocking fillers. My first collection of beautiful gifts is based around natural tones. I have tried to include at least one item for all ages and both for him and her. Everybody loves a good stocking filler...
