Color Trends at High Point Market

by Farima Alavi October 25, 2012 25 Comments

Last week, a few of the HGTV.com editors had the privilege of visiting High Point Furniture Market. We saw a lot of fabulous designs, from innovative furniture to one-of-a-kind lighting. I was on the lookout for the hottest colors in interior design. Here are my top four color picks:

Blue

Many designers have transitioned from the bold blues you’re used to seeing to a fresher, ice blue. I still enjoyed seeing unexpected pops of the bright blues in China cabinets and drawers.

Media Cabinet by Design Legacy; China Cabinet by Steven Shell; Denim Map by Splurge/Robert Nicholas; Tufted Chair by HGTV HOME

Designer Shane Inman’s Decorating Tip: Use soft blues for your walls and darker shades of blue in your upholstery. For something unexpected and daring, use a smokey-slate blue on base moldings and window casings.

Orange

I never thought I could decorate with orange, but seeing this color in accessories, upholstery and seating immediately changed my mind. It completely changes the mood of a room.

Chevron Wall Art by Vanguard Furniture; Dining Chairs by Design Legacy; Teal/Orange Pillows by TOURMALINE home; End Table by Trade Winds Furniture

Designer Erica Islas’ Decorating Tip: If you’re worried about a color overpowering a space, use it as an accent color mixed with neutrals. For example, pair a striped orange-and-white ottoman with a neutral sofa.

Trending on HGTV.com: Bold Bedding

by Sarah Herron October 4, 2012 8 Comments

Every day, I peek at what our online readers are doing. Web data tells me what makes you click. This week, I know what many of our readers want to do in the bedroom — spice it up with striped bed linens and colorful bedding.

In August, a vast number of online users were perusing ideas for white bed linens. As temperatures drop for fall, it’s a great time to layer bedding and add color.

Designer Tyler Wisler suggests, “keeping the main components like the fitted and flat sheets in white or ivory, giving you unlimited flexibility in popping in some personality like a limey-green throw over a simple black quilted coverlet, or layering patterned-and striped-cases in the same color family to interject some eye candy.”

Tyler says, “Bed linens are one of the easiest accessories to get a lot of look without having to change too much. If you don’t feel like making the full investment in an entire new set seasonally (which can get costly), you can switch out the shams from sunny summer yellows, to more golden fall ochers in a snap.”

Nancy Fire, Creative Director and Founder of Design Works Intl/First2Print and Design Director for HGTV HOME, recommends adding a bright color with texture. She says global-inspired fabrics are popular right now. “Our clients love the mix of color and texture, especially when mixed with a larger scale layout. The texture inside the damask emulates a woven technique.”

If you’re having trouble deciding, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Design Happens’ own Grant Dudley recently went on an exhaustive search for the perfect bedding.

As you look for ideas, Tyler says, “Have fun with it! After all, you do spend a third of your life in bed, so make it awesome!”

Defend the Trend: Are You Wild for Animal Print Decor?

by Briana Mowrey September 28, 2012 22 Comments

BRIANA: Leopards and zebras and Dalmatians?! Oh my! They’re all over the runways (and my nails), but do you want animal prints in your home? Sharpen your claws and let me hear you roar!

LILI: When I was in college, my roommate and I re-covered a wingback armchair in leopard print velour. It was the best thing that ever happened to that chair, or that apartment.

Lili on her leopard throne. "This is what the 90s looked like."

GRANT: We live in a Kardashian world — and the three sisters agree that animal print is in — and that we should be draped in it (on our bodies and in our home). If it was only Kim pushing the look, I’d question the trend. But with Kourtney and Khloe on board too, we should probably just embrace it.

Defend the Trend: Patchwork It, Girl?

by Briana Mowrey August 31, 2012 11 Comments

BRIANA: Patchwork is picking up again. So let’s stitch together some opinions on this trend. Homespun sweetness or just a hot mess?

LILI: I posted the Oswald Squint patchwork sofa as a Daily Delight a while ago…

…and my thoughts on this sofa are essentially the same: I don’t know why I like it! My design style leans toward the classic, mid-century modern, the austere-with-a soft-edge. These patchwork pieces are the polar opposite. I can’t help myself from liking them, though. I think a crazy side chair like this Rug Collective one would make a perfect complimentary piece to my solid gray sofa:

Dreaming of a White Bed?

by Sarah Herron August 28, 2012 11 Comments

When Grant Dudley said, “White: Yes, it’s happening,” he wasn’t kidding.

Part of what I do at HGTV.com is track audience trends and this color of the month is white-hot in the bedroom.

White bedding looks fresh and dreamy, however, it might be a nightmare for people with pets and kids.

If white linens seem impractical, perhaps one of these white headboards would work.

Flip through hundreds of photos in Designers’ Portfolio for white bedroom ideas.

White might be a little risky in the bedroom, but Grant’s popular August hue is certainly worth considering. It could set the backdrop for incorporating the next hot color of the month.

Are you a fan of this white trend? Tell us what you think.

Daily Delight: Red Plaid Bedding

by Grant Dudley August 23, 2012 14 Comments

I’m a single guy in the market for new bedding. And let me tell you, it is not easy to find a masculine look with some semblance of color. I don’t want all this black, brown and navy blue that I seem to find everywhere — come on, not all dudes are afraid of a brighter hue here and there.

It appears that Bed Bath + Beyond has come through for me, though. I’m sold on their Willamsport Plaid collection.

Am I the only person who struggles to find non boring, non floral bedding?

Dorm Daze: Choosing the Right Bedding

by Jessica Yonker August 9, 2012 5 Comments

One of the first memories I have from college is watching one of my friends attempt to stretch a twin sheet over a mattress that was too long for it while his roommate and parents wailed, “It’s not going to fit!” It didn’t, and back into the hordes of crazed move-in day shoppers he went.

“Twin XL” is a phrase that suddenly has a lot of meaning for the new college student, and can mean the difference between plopping down onto a freshly made bed or an angst-ridden trek back to the store in search of larger sheets. To accommodate taller students, most dorm rooms are equipped with Twin XL mattresses, which are about 5 inches longer than a standard twin. The only way to be sure is to contact the residence hall directly – often information on a university housing webpage is outdated – and the staff will be able to tell you exactly what size you need.

Once you’ve got that information, you’re free to pick whatever style bedding fits you. Make sure to pick up a mattress protector (do you know how many germs build up in there?) and an eggshell or foam pad if you need extra support!
