Balanced Living
Only a few years ago, environmentally friendly design occupied a tiny niche. Now, fueled by growing concern about the Earth's resources and human health, green design is flourishing like a well-tended garden.
Sultry Origins
Bollywood is more than an influence – it's a metaphor for today's multicultural style sampling. Just as the Indian film industry interprets Hollywood glamour to create a distinctive aesthetic, so do we borrow ethnic elements that appeal to us and put our own spin on them.
Understated Elegance
Bland? Boring? Not today's neutrals. Their mix of values, of warm and cool tones harmonizing together as they do in natural stone, represent a subtle rainbow compared with the safe off-white palettes of yesteryear.
Virtual Re-Mix
Picture a look that's the visual equivalent of a "greatest hits" CD with all your favorite tunes from decades gone by. Nostalgia is going strong, with elements and colors that borrow freely from the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. The new spin this time around is that there are no rules. "Eclectic is the key word," says Eiseman. "We're mixing rather than matching."
Kinetic Contrasts
