Audra Lowe: Decorating itself can be pretty mind bugling you know you’re trying to
figure out what colors do I get and how can I make something old look
new with a little texture. Well Rhiannon inside down with Jennifer Adams
one of the Nations top designers to talk about the latest trends for you
home from color to accents. Let sure to add a little finish.
Rhiannon Ally: Today we’re talking the hottest trends in home right now and I am so
excited for the first one because purple my favorite color and you say
that’s right now.
Jennifer Adams: It’s hot everywhere you seeing it in the fashion, you’re seeing in homes
you know I don’t recommend getting bright purple so much. Ten years
ago and I have to recover them, but doing in your accents is something
you can do on your own. Adding the throw pillows like this photo we’re
looking at now, they’ve got as a dobby cover which is easy to change out
some of your accent pillows on your bed, did you actually haven and
eggplant wall which is nice because that can be still be use as a neutral,
it’s not like a— I wouldn’t put the sweeter colored of my sweeter on your
wall or in the outside of you house. Right now purple is very, very hot and
you can vary the shades, you can add light purples with the dark purples in
different textures.
Rhiannon Ally: I love that; keep it minimal that we say, okay.
Jennifer Adams: Keep it minimal and use as accents, gold is really hot right now like the
warm metals it long gone now are the days bright silver shinny and more
contemporary objects. We’re seeing the warm metal in the faucet and your
bathroom hardware, in your light fixtures, you can change out your bath
accessories to be more the warm metal tones. And it’s not the brass, it’s a
difference it’s more warm gold and that’s really, really popular.
Rhiannon Ally: So version it goes out.
Jennifer Adams: You know what it almost is and I hate to say it because everybody is been
using it and everyone has it.
Rhiannon Ally: But yes, I’m not really, I’m not adding that in the homes right now. It’s all
the goal that’s huge thing.
Jennifer Adams: Okay.
Rhiannon Ally: Comfort is a big deal because the whole satiation trend.
Jennifer Adam: Yeah people are not going away as much they’re seeing at home, and so
putting that vacation in back into there home and they’re one in comfort so
the way that you can add that into your home without breaking the back is
make sure your bad is unbelievably comfortable, layer your bed properly
for the best sleeping experience.
Rhiannon Ally: Good lay in bed instead of long vacation.
Jennifer Adam: Yes, and that’s the vacation for a lot of people. What we are put on our
blog exactly how you layer your bed and get comfortable lines, add extra
throws, extra pillows onto your sofas, more ambient lighting like lamp or
something that strike the house just think what’s warm, what’s cozy and
also functional because your home and you are going to be using your
house so think about in terms of every single person in your home what
they need to actually feel comfortable.
Rhiannon Ally: Maybe make each room design to each person and each person. That
makes sense.
Jennifer Adams: The other thing I’m seeing a lot of is raw woods. And you are not just
junky, but more of that provincially you feel a restoration hardware is got
a lot of there right now so bringing the raw wood make your sideboard or
your dining table even the legs on your chairs but it adds a little nice warm
feel in all that texture. But I’m seeing that all over.
Rhiannon Ally: Is texture really big right now? It seems like it is.
Jennifer Adams: Each texture really important in any room and in any type of fabric just the
way you put those textures together can break your entire design planner it
can also make your plan. So yes, texture is huge especially if you want
comfort and warm. The other thing I’m seeing a lot are nail heads.
Rhiannon Ally: Nail heads?
Jennifer Adams: Nail heads are everywhere, you can see them on the draperies right now
line. I think West Home has nail heads on one of there drapery panels as
they’re offering but you can add them to an apostrophes you are already
have just by putting them around the base of the sofa or at the arms of
your chair but get creative with that accessories that have nail heads and
its not just the rustic old nail heads studies so you can get a really big bold
shinny nail heads to have move of the glamorous feel you can go from
rustic to glamorous it’s very versatile.
Rhiannon Ally: Okay, thank you so much Jen and all of these great trends right now and
most of them you can just do it yourself.
Jennifer Adams: Exactly.
Rhiannon Ally: Thank you so much.
