Casual and Cozy

With the arrival of spring, we asked Sally Wilson of Wilson Kelsey Design to share this season’s trends and new ideas.  Here is Wilson’s suggestion for the sun room, “Keep it simple with upholstered pieces in a durable white canvas slipcover. Add custom-made toss pillows for your own signature look, using exquisite fabrics. Accent the room with a unique lighting fixture and a Chinese garden side table.” This little corner quickly will  become one of the family favorite spots to read.

Design Potential:  Endless possibilities to customize your own room with your own sense of style.

Are You Vain?



A popular style for the bathroom vanity is an open shelf cabinet that allows both storage and room to display decorative accessories and towels.  The Open Shaker vanity by Fairmont Designs comes in several sizes and is available in cherry and white.  Best of all, the Open Shaker vanity can accept any counter top, making it versatile and easy to blend in any decor.

Design Potential:  Space saving and functional while still stylish.

Dark and Daring
 
Think about using deep browns in small spaces, like a foyer, or a powder room.  Try an Osborne & Little wallpaper (Mandara and Shagreen) and compliment it with Benjamin Moore Paints, Cedar Key (off-white) and Lodge (brown). 

Design Potential:  Sleek and easy to recreate. Sufficient light is key.
