New and Trending for 2014

As we've turned the corner on another year, its time to look ahead and see where things are going in design, plus look at some of the fun new things available through GF&D!  Here we go:

This year we are seeing a big trend towards glamour!  This picture has many of the features that a glam interior represents:

House and Home Magazine

Dark dramatic feature walls or room with the trim painted same as wall colour (although trim should be painted in a slightly glossier finish than the walls).

LUCITE tables continue to be popular.  You'll see more now with gold accents and interesting shapes.

Grapevine Designs

Interesting light fixtures.  It's time to step out of the box and embrace something other than your traditional chandelier.  Thankfully I hopped on this bandwagon when we built our home.  And I'm so glad I did.  Here are some of my light fixtures:

I'm seeing these articulating wall lights more and more, and I'm loving them!  Would love to put 2 in my office.

I'm longing to add something like this to my portfolio:  a statement wall!

Although it may be a little hard to see... this dining room from one of my favorite designers, Nam Dang-Mitchel, has a gorgeous statement wall behind the dining room side board.  This wallpaper is from Gracie Handpainted Wallpapers

And the lovelies pictured below are available through Anewall Decor

Mixing metals is another trends that Ive been working with for quite awhile and embraced in my own home.  This year we are seeing it bigger than ever!  Here is a pictures depicting just that.  It's the inspiration picture for my client's master bedroom.

As for GF&D, we are looking forward to 2014.  We have some interesting projects lined up, and very much look forward to what House and Home magazine has to say about me and my kitchen in the March issue!  Plus our website will be updated by the end of January.

Here are some new products coming through our doors this year:

We have a great appreciation for this company.  They are providing stylish pieces at a great price point.

And a new account for us is this company.  We've been looking for comfortable bergere chairs, and these ones are gorgeous!  A lightly distressed greige (thats beige and grey mixed together... if you didn't know - ha) wood, and lovely linen upholstery.  Super comfy too!

These are probably the most exciting additions to our selection from a company we've been ordering from for years.

Well, that about sums it up for now.  If you'd like to follow us and stay up to date in our world of design, you can follow us via Pinterest, Bloglovin, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
