I recently ran across the "Home Fashion Forecast" summer edition. This magazine is published for the design professional and is full of advertisements to show the newest home furnishings, accessories, lighting, area rugs, etc. The magazine can be looked at on line which is interesting. Their "Season's picks: Well tailored sofas, royal accents, eco-friendly wallpapers, "wood" table lamps, mirrored accents and an ode to the circle." It's been awhile but the antiqued mirrored accents of the 1970's are back. YUCK! They're calling the style "traditional refreshed". Bold blue is back too along with florals that remind me of the early 1960's...never expected to see the old daisy pattern again, yet here it is. (Spent the better part of the morning today looking at one well-known fabric supplier's website trying to research a project I've been working on and there they were...the daisies that is...once again.) Traditional furniture is now painted unexpected colors to liven the mix of modern and traditional furnishings. There are also a lot of bold pinks and orange colors that go nicely with the blues.
They say if you live long enough you'll see the same things again and again. To me this "traditional refreshed" is more of the same old thing - but with a new coat of paint. Happy decorating!
