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.
