Weekly Round-Up

Every week, I sift through more than 200 of the best design and lifestyle blogs looking for trends. Some things catch my eye for their cool factor and others grab my attention because they’re featured everywhere. Here are some of my favorite finds from this week:

It may be cold outside, but designers are still gathering inspiration from the great outdoors. In addition to the mirror above, check out the driftwood lamp and tree-inspired wallpaper:

Color is everywhere! From vibrantly colored rooms that mix palettes and patterns to bright red doors, designers are choosing colors that are anything but muted.

Did you notice the dark details mixed with the bright pops of color? Grays, blacks and browns keep the color trend from becoming too outrageous. These glossy, black floors exude sophistication and show how no surface in your home should be void of good style.

  3. The slide is too cool. Potentially dangerous, but very cool.
