I just discovered www.RoomServiceStore.com and it is such a great find for the lover of all modern things.  If you are looking for something specific or just want to get some fresh ideas, the website is great.  The variety of merchandise ranges from sofas to headboards to outdoor living to pillows. And the prices are just as varied.   Enjoy the below inspirations.

World Market Trends

I just returned from the Las Vegas World Market show and experienced some amazing trends I wanted to share with you. Probably the biggest influence I saw was that of dristressed furniture.  All varieties of pieces have a natural distressed look to them in lighter color tones.  The green movement is still going strong with animal prints, African and nature influences. 

Gold and Silver are still apparent with several accesories lines while Purple, Turquoise and bold vibrant colors play roles in fabrics and used primarily as accents in a room settings.  Perhaps its time for you to bring one or more of these influences into your home!

2010 Color is Turquoise

I was fortunate to attend a 2010 Color & Design Trend seminar this week.  Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s Color Forecaster and Color Consultant, shared with us that the 2010 Color is Turquoise.  The psychology behind selecting Turquoise as this years color was that studies showed that the word Turquoise evokes feelings of relaxation, escape, ocean and protection. 

Authentic Home COLOR Paint has various tones of Turquoise for you to explore in your own room setting.  A splash of a Turquoise on a wall along with pillows or lamp is all you need to create that feeling of relaxtion and a renewed sense of joy.  And it feels like spring is just around the corner!
