Plain walls are out and floral wallpapers are thankfully in style again! The colors have been updated on traditional motifs and many of the patterns are modernized. I’ve always loved wallpaper in kitchens and bathrooms. You can even purchase a floral pattern printed on grass cloth now. Blues are always popular choices, Greens and Yellows are hot now. Shown below are Brunschwig & Fils Kashmiri in Leaf Alo, Bramalta Feodora Mini in Blue Fushia Yellow, Quadrille Sigourney Reverse in Jungle Green, Schumacher Marigold in Yellow, and Clarence House Arbre De Vie in Coral Lettuce.
LEDs began as exciting but expensive electronic components in the sixties, used in handheld calculators and other similar devices. Through research and development, LED technology advanced, became more energy-efficient and less expensive, until it reached its current form. As a homeowner, it is important to keep on top of your utility costs as they will impact your monthly budget. You may visit the EmeryAllen homepage to see more lighting options. If you need an electrical service to help you on this, services like MZ Electric or Quality Electric Service have the right professionals to help you. And if you need other residential electrical services like power restoration, then you may consider getting help from a licensed electrician like Paul The PlumberFor Power restoration in Montclair.
The light must be reflected to the desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the fixture. LEDs emit very little heat. According to a professional electrician in Dublin, in comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat. Residential lighting – especially ENERGY STAR rated products — use at least 75% less energy, and last 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting. To change your electrical fixtures, you can hire experts in residential electrical installation. You may also consider installing chandeliers with the help of an expert in chandelier installation in Prescott.
LED standard base light bulbs (A Shape) are available in several colors. We like Batteries + Bulbs Duracell dimmable soft white bulb in the purple box because it most resembles incandescent. Daylight is actually whiter than soft white and cool white is not recommended. PECO is promoting these bulbs with a subsidized discount now. We recommend you retrofit your existing lamps and recessed lighting (with the appropriate replacement size). Please note that if you have dimmer switches on incandescent switched you will need to upgrade the dimmer switches to work with LED recessed lighting.
We also recommend purchasing LED outdoor lights that are practical, functional and attractive and fixtures, such as those featured here. For outdoor lighting installation, you can call W3 Electric for Landscape Lighting in Rowlett. The chandelier featured above is Hudson Valley Lighting’s Ashleigh Chandelier by Mitzi. The Floor Lamp featured is Koncept Lighting’s Lady 7 LED Dimmable Telescopic Floor Lamp.
If you want to keep up with what’s hot in fabric, here’s what’s happening. Popular colors include blush, green, and brown. Boho Patchwork, Nomadic Designs, Traditional Designs in updated colors are the patterns we are seeing. Upholstery textures are nubby, boucle, slub, and soft. In addition, performance fabrics that are sustainable, cleanable, and fade resistant (Indoor/Outdoor and Crypton) are everywhere. The use of trim such as tape, pom-poms, and metallics is picking up.

Why is leather a better option than performance fabric? We have noticed a shift away from the navy blue performance velvet sectional sofa into the resurgence of caramels and vintage tan sofas. Most of our male clients love leather upholstery. Leather is handsome and neutral, as well as soft and comfortable in all temperatures. So give neutral toned leather upholstery a chance in your home!

It’s almost Spring and we are excited to see colorful fabrics and wall coverings. Quadrille Fabrics is known for their beautiful hand block screen prints. They offer so many beautiful patterns that it was hard to select one to feature. Quadrille Fabrics offers the following collections: Quadrille, Alan Campbell, Cloth Paper, Wallpaper, Suncloth and Plains.
Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft fibres. Ikat fabric weaving styles vary widely. Many design motifs may have ethnic, ritual or symbolic meaning or have been developed for export trade. Ikat patterns have been around for a long time, however, Quadrille gives them a modern spin by using bright colors.
We just got back from the NY Now Show at the Javitz Center. Besides enjoying the day with my long time friend who is also an Interior Designer, I learned a lot. So you ask, what’s hot now? According to Nicole Davis, writer for Lighting & Decor Magazine, Global patterns continue to reign. We saw a lot of ethnic, southwest, and bohemian fabric patterns. However, the change that we are seeing from the new millennium is in added decoration provided by the Latest Items from an online Antique Store. Jana Platina Phipps, known as the Trim Queen, stated after spending time in High Point, NC for the fall furniture market, “maximalism” is in. Embellishment is a way to tip toe into this trend without going full throttle – it gives the product dimension and a higher perceived value, and it can be contemporary, not just the very traditional looks people think of.” Davis also states that “maximalism is a trend that’s coming over from fashion, with houses like Gucci and Prada showing embellishment and fabric collaging all over this season’s intros. Of course, keeping everything neat and tidy is a must, so contact professionals from Eco Clean Solutions if you don’t have the time or could use a bit of help with the upkeep.
One of the vendors that we visited is Cozy Nomad of Malibu, combined the ethnic fabrics with faux fur trim on the pillows and throw blankets. Cozy Nomad sells imported carpets in addition to these amazing accessories.
The other vendor that we visited, Creative Touch Rugs, is selling Ikat velvet pillows in an array of ethnic patterns and colors, both bright and traditional. We think these pillows can make a room used on a neutral sofa.

This wallpaper works well in a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. Wedi board should be considered for any new bathroom, the purpose of your bathroom is simple but there is no limit to the decorative flourishes and amenities you can add to this important room. We love this wallpaper because it can be used to update a traditional room and give it a modern twist. It works well with both traditional and contemporary design. The vertical pattern repeat is 6.8″ and the horizontal repeat is 9″ so it is not too big to use on a small wall. Please contact us for a consultation.
