Velvet
Velvet
Wow, velvet ! It makes everything seem just a little more sumptuous. With its regal good looks and unsurpassed softness, its hard not to love it.
“Velvet “ is synonymous with “Special.” A velvet jacket feels more luxurious than a polyester jacket. And a Red Velvet cupcake sounds more decedent than a chocolate cupcake. “Velvety smooth” is a common expression to describe anything soft.
The material has been around for centuries. While clearly its not a new fabric, in has become increasingly popular in the past few years.
Consider this posh fabric for your home for dining room chairs, an upholstered sofa, an upholstered headboard, or toss pillows as an accent on your couch.
Here are three reasons why you should choose Velvet:
1. Softness and luxury. Velvet is one of those materials that you buy because you want it, not because it’s practical. Its a luxury fabric and looks and feels the part.
2. Light and volume. Because Velvet has a nap, it shows the direction across the piece its covering. It looks most welcoming on a tufted sofa.
3. Colour depth. Velvet is dyed so the colours can be quite rich. Add some punch to a plain sofa with a berry velvet pillow, or a hunter green pillow or perhaps one that is Dijon yellow.
Velvet is a touchy-feely fabric like none other. If you want to add texture, colour and a rich look that is luxurious, try adding Velvet to your home decor.

Building Your Home Office
These days it’s becoming harder to leave our work at the office, and more and more of us are finding it necessary to incorporate a Home Office space into our home’s decor.
Here are a few tips to think about when designing a Home Office space, that will help you stay relaxed and focused, so you can work more creatively and efficiently:
-
- Designate a spot for your Home Office: Choose a room as far away from busy social areas such as the kitchen and family room.
-
- Choose a desk with a large enough work surface for the tasks you will need to perform, as well as storage drawers to hold files and important items you need to access regularly.
-
- Choosing a comfortable office chair is very important to keep your body comfortable and relaxed, and your mind focused. An office chair on caster wheels is also a great option if you need to move around to access items from a near by credenza or bookcase.
-
- Storage: If the space in your room allows, having a credenza or bookcase in the room is great for added storage and organization.
-
- Lighting: Make sure you have the proper light fixtures for your needs. Use desk lamps for task lighting and ceiling lamps for overall lighting of the room. If your room has windows, natural sunlight is great for you, both mentally and physically, and provides an overall sense of well-being.
Large or small, whether your Home Office space will be used for running a business, catching up on office work, or just paying bills, you deserve to have a space that is as charming and comfortable as the rest of your home; and a place where you’ll actually want to burn the midnight oil!

Neutral Aesthetic
If your aesthetic veers to the light and neutral palette of cream, ivory, or beige or white, you need never worry about making a decorating mistake with traumatic results.
Tailored furnishings upholstered in a restrained palette are proven to have trend resistant staying power. When you lay the groundwork by investing in timeless, neutral pieces you’ve taken the first step toward longevity, but you’ve also opened the door to changeability by allowing the flexibility to rethink accents, accessories and art in the future.
With a neutral backdrop, it’s always easy to swap out accents and make it look like you got a whole new room.

Holiday Decor Trends
When all of a sudden out of nowhere, movies like “The Grinch” start showing up in theatres or on TV, it’s a sure sign that it’s time to deck the halls…and all the other rooms in your home… with dazzling holiday decor!
Whether you prefer a minimalist look or, if you’re like me and like to go all out with holiday decorations, here are a few Holiday Decorating Trends to look for this year:
– Move away from the standard red, green, and white colour scheme and introduce this years major hit of pastels such as yellow, blue, pink, and green.
– Slim, sparse trees are great for a modern, sleek look. Especially when decorating with neutral coloured ornaments such as white, silver, and gold.
– For a soft, rustic look; which creates an ‘outdoorsy’ countryside feel, we’re mad for plaid! Especially for stockings, throws, and toss pillows.
– Pillar candles, in all sizes and colours, are always a sure fire way to make your home feel warm and inviting.
– Flowers have made a big splash in textiles this year and are now trending as decorations for your tree, wreaths, and garland.
– Chunky knits have taken this season by storm and this year are being used everywhere from toss pillows, throws, and even as a tree skirt.
– Wooden place chargers on your holiday dining table are a creative, fun way to bring the outdoors in.
Decorating your home for the holidays can be a lot of work, and sometimes it seems like it goes by so fast – just as you’ve finished putting them all up, it’s time to take them down again – but it’s also a lot of fun! So go ahead, unleash your creativity and show your friends and family that you Ain’t No ‘Grinch’ !!

Holiday Spirit
As we approach that time of the year, with all the magical holiday spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah, it’s common to want a change of scenery in your home.
Luckily, some very minor changes can bring you right into the Holiday spirit.
Start by bringing something new with the color red and/or green into your family room. That could be anything from new toss pillows on your sofa to a new rug in tones like green and gold, to represent the bright colors of Christmas.
Put a few new accessories like candle holders with candles of red and gold color. The holidays do not have to be expensive and stressful, small changes can make a big difference.

Color trends for winter 2018
This years exhibition is fueled by an explosion of color. Vibrant, vital and capturing. All furniture, chairs, sofas, accessories are all offered in a wide range of color tones.
Some of the favorites this year are mustard yellow, green and shades of red. This trend strongly appears in fashion, just watch some of the runway exhibits.
Green color brings us closer to nature and mustard yellow reflect nature’s beauty and sunshine. Both together create a beautiful combo.
One of the easiest ways to make your home look like it came out of a design magazine, is to choose two colors that form the basis of your decor. Green and yellow have the potential to be very bold. Sun and nature, you can’t ask for more.
Be bold, be colourful.
