Inside Out

Inspiring to see a shift in trends where color can be used in a non-conventional way…from the inside out. 

For many of us dinnerware and tabletop products have been white on white for years so it’s refreshing to see these serving bowls that I spotted in Paris at The Bon Marche last month…updated with a colorful surprise!

Heavy Metal in the Home!

Well I am not referring to Metallica or ACDC…on the music scene…but rather “Mixed Metals” that have been on-trend for the last few seasons in the home.

In the past many of us would NOT mix metal finishes but would rather find a certain metal like a stainless and adhere to the same finish! Well those days are over and today we can happily say that “Metal Mixing” is in, while “Matching Metals” is out!

Mix those warm and cool metal surfaces allowing a personality of style to shine through your home. Today we are seeing metals mixed with matte black finishes as well which give us an updated industrial sensibility.

Remember it’s all in the mix…supporting your sense of style in the home!

Posting from Paris

Off to Maison & Objet, the largest and most aspirational home product show in the world. Designers, as well as creative manufacturers gather to show their latest and greatest products for the home.
Most trade shows feel endless and overwhelming but I can promise there is No Chaos here…just color and creativity.
I will be posting on colorchaosand creativity all weekend with lots of updates from Paris AND you can follow me on Instagram @nancy_fire @hgtv @hgtvhome
