You
are probably thinking this all sound exciting, but how do you take it from a
fantasy to a functional space in your home? Follow these tips to help add a
little trend to your 2014 space.
Consider a piece with a story – Salvaged, recycled and upcycled wood accents continue to grow in
popularity. Artemano (http://www.artemano.ca/) incorporates these qualities into their designs. They
have created a table for their Railway collection from recycled railway wood
that has braved the rain, heat and passing of time that is sure to be a
conversation starter! If a larger piece is not your style, try one of their smaller
accessories, such as candle holders, bowls or trays that are made from recycled
buildings and bridges to add a touch of whimsical to your décor.
Add a little splash to your back splash – Adding a new backsplash can
change the entire look and feel of your kitchen. Made in Canada, Smart Tiles (http://www.thesmarttiles.com/)
are an ingenious new budget friendly brand of tiles that are easy to work with.
They are self-adhesive and very easy to install, so even if you aren’t a pro,
you can add a new backsplash in 2014. Specially designed for kitchen and
bathroom environments, Smart Tiles are resistant to both heat and humidity.
This year, why not try out some black and white tiles or the timeless subway
tile? They come in a range of styles and colours and are also easy to remove -
which means you can change the style as often as you want. Adding pops of
colour in your accessories will allow you to mix it up year after year.
Every year a new trend appears; however don’t feel
like you need to redo every room completely, the best way to keep up with the
trends and save your wallet is to add the trend you love in a small way. Trends
are made to be fun so enjoy this year’s new design approach!
Until next time w&c designer girl!
