#8: WRAPPED FURNITURE! So many furniture companies are offering an assortment of wrapped case goods in 2013. Nothing adds a sophisticated eclecticism quite like an uph…olstered dresser or side table in a room. It automatically evokes a sense of contemporary whimsy whether wrapped in leather, linen, stainless, zinc, shagreen (sharkskin) or even burlap! You may not have paid attention to it before, but now you’ll definitely recognize just how much this trend is catching on!

 #7: GRAPHIC PRINTS & PATTERNS! A very big trend within the textile industry in fashion and interiors is digital prints on fabric and wall covering. Drab, dull and overly neutral rooms are getting their energy shot in the arm with bold graphic patterns and prints in 2013. From accessory pillows to wallcover, draperies to throw blankets, it’s the design that’s the design! Not all have to be in neon bright colors either as there are plenty of metallic or tone on tone options available as well. Layering the prints can be tricky but for instance, bold patterned pillows on a classic line, tailored neutral sofa can define the personality of the entire room!

 #6: BRASS! For all of you who are just getting around to finally changing out all of your cabinet pulls, door hardware and hinges to brushed nickel, you may want to rea…d this memo….and don’t shoot the messenger! Yes indeed Brass is making a BIG resurgence this year. From Brass furniture, picture frames, accessories, lighting and fixtures, the warm hue of gold is back in fresh ways. When we all lived in the “beige box”, we used warm paint tones and accented in cool metallics…SO…over the past few years the “NEW beige” has been gray, and so it stands to reason (and trending) that as we’ve moved to cooler paint tones, the trend is to balance this with the richer, warmer tone of Brass metallics! With so many designers looking to the ’70s & 80’s as inspiration fit’s inevitable that brass and bronze will show up more—from accessories by Carl Aubock to cocktail tables by Gabriella Crespi to virtually entire rooms by Kelly Wearstler, brass is the metal of the moment.

 #5: TEXTURED WALL PANELS!  These types of wall panels have been most commonly seen in commercial environments like hotel lobbies, nightclubs and day spas but 2013 shows… a big trend toward accenting these in the home! These textured wall panels are made from an entirely green (recycled natural) material, can be painted any color you want and some even have acoustical value (ie. MEDIA ROOMS, HOME THEATERS)! I’m not recommending you cover your walls with this look, but I do think it has high impact for focal walls of importance, such as in the entry hall, powder/guest bath room, fireplace wall, Master Bed Wall. For smaller applications I think this will be on trend for backsplashes, Closet walls (Ie. Closet Doors, camouflaging the doors in a seamless application with the wall), or even as a tub surround in the master bath! Left white and grazed with colored lighting, you can change your walls with the color of your mood! Your eyes do not deceive you in that last photo, there is recessed lighting INSIDE the wall to help accent the texture and make a WOW statement!

Custom Built Pieces

Lovelace Interiors

By Cassidy Pickens

There are many reasons to hire an interior designer. If you have a challenging space and cannot seem to find a solution, a custom piece built specifically for your space and needs may be the answer. The piece pictured was designed by co-designers Cassidy Pickens and Joey LaSalle for one of their complete renovation jobs.

This piece was built using custom acrylic inset panels which was the perfect way to add original and local art to the space for interest and control colors used and contrast all at the same time.  The top is a 9 foot piece of ice stone to coordinate with the kitchen counter surface. And of course, acrylic knobs for a contemporary feel. This gives you a one of a kind extraordinary piece of art that meets all of your needs without having to go on a hunt for that perfect fit. If you can dream it, we can design and have it built for you! Contact a designer today to full fill and finish your space!
