Unusual Trends of the Year

As we get further into 2017, we ask ourselves the

question...

WHAT will be the hottest unusual trend THIS year??

Well, here at TCI, we have a few ideas, and can't wait to implement them.

Our TOP choices for 2017:

1. Metal Accents - Gold or Silver!

** Won't damage as easily as wood

2. Additions of Stone - Especially Aria Quartzite

** Completely indestructible and not porous

3. Textural Wallpaper - Grasscloth or Solids

4. Unique Fixtures in Unusual Spaces - Speciality Plumbing Fixtures

HOW do you implement these trends??

Here are a few slides to give you a visual for these looks!

A MASTER BEDROOM TREND:

- Bring a touch of the unexpected into your bedroom by using an Aria Stone quartzite as artwork. Because as Aria's motto goes .. "Stone is Art".

(This particular quartzite is a 3CM Verde Acquamarina Slab. ... Simply Beautiful)

- Use a mixture of metals throughout side tables, lighting, and accessories

- Wallpaper an accent wall in a textural wallpaper.

A MASTER BATHROOM TREND:

- WOW yourself each day as you step foot into your bathroom by wrapping your bath tub wall surround in a beautiful white quartzite from Aria Stone.

(This particular stone is a 3CM Bianco Quartzite)

- Give your bathroom a splash of shine with metals throughout your wall sconces, vanity and tub faucets, AND cabinet hardware

- Don't skimp on the plumbing fixtures. They can be the icing on the cake in your master bath retreat if they SAY something about your space.

Gear up for 2017 and jazz up your home!

STYLE THAT: Kitchen Edition

Each and every area of the home has a unique way of being styled that makes it just as important as the next.

We've discussed bookcases, nightstands and china cabinets ... today we tackle the arguably the most important statement in the home.

The Kitchen

1. Large Statement Vases in Color Scheme-

Choosing a pair of tall ceramic pieces within the color scheme will instantly spruce up an island or empty corner without cluttering

2. Less is Best-

Instead of lining up the toaster, blender and kitchen aid mixer... neatly tuck them away in a cabinet and choose small groupings of glass cloches or vases to stack in corners of the kitchen cabinets to pop a color or texture or interest instead of a messy appliance.

3. Whispy Florals:

Bring some height to your room by adding a tall vase of faux whispy florals for a change of texture and medium

4. Food Items as Decor:

You guessed it! Speaking of a kitchen...use items such as lemons for a yellow color scheme, oranges, etc to add to a bowl will bring a natural element to the kitchen

Cook up some beautiful designs!

Straight from TCI Designers - FriYAY Favs!

Happy Friday to ALL!

Taking a break from a norm to share some of our favorite trends and products with you...

straight from our designers' brains!

Traci:

"When I saw the wine, dog and kid pics, I knew this carpet would be perfect for our Stoneleigh Residence high rise project. Especially since we chose white! A soil and stain resistant performance fabric is what we have to use to make this luxurious home livable."

Terra:

"I MUST have one of these built in herb gardens! We have to incorporate this ASAP"

"I have also been wanting to use one of these colorful Grohe faucets! (Maybe a kids playroom bar?!)"

- The colorful materials used for the arm make cleaning a breeze when there is no surface for fingerprints to be left!

Jessie:

Adding greenery/plants to your room

"A pop of greenery can add color to the space without competing with the other colors in your scheme. Nature tends to invigorate us, so by adding a succulent here and there it can bring life to the space."

- Succulents are an easy plant to upkeep! Low maintenance, and hard to kill. That is ease of glamour in the living ladies and gents!

Courtney:

"Hanging seating has got me all *heart eyes* over here. I love how it lifts the eye off the floor AND leaves no room for dust bunnies underneath! A quick swiffer and TADAA clean as a whistle."
