Trends on the Horizon for 2012

DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2012

 Be on the lookout for the new trends in home fashions making their debut in 2012 and bringing new life to your home.

Because fabrics are my true love, this will be the first trend I share.

Inspired by global trends and cultural influences,  patterns and motifs on fabrics blend texture and color of old-world looks with modern decor.

Ethnic embellishments and Cultural influences are found in fabrics from upholstery and bedding to wallpaper, rugs and accent pieces.


Kantha's

The magical textiles, hand made by the women of Bengal, India, are created from recycled cotton saris.
They are made of soft cotton; folded, layered and hand-stitched, warm and durable, and available in a  myriad of patterns and colors. Kantha's are a work of great beauty and can be used as throws, coverlets, and table coverings to name a few.

Available through Rosa Dest Interiors at Cotswold Marketplace

Suzani's

I''m  addicted!  I actually have found a great Turkish source for Suzani pillows and rugs and have some great ones available at my new retail space in Cotswold Marketplace 
Suzani is an antique and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asia countries.


There are so many ways to decorate your home using Suzani's,

As table coverings, they couldn't be prettier. Suzani's,  I''m  addicted!  I actually have found a great Turkish source for Suzani pillows and rugs and have some great one. s at my new retail space in Cotswold Marketplace

And if this cute little clutch doesn't jump out at you and say Love Me, I don't know what does!

                                                   I think I have to have it.

Ikat's


Ikat's are truly unique and meaning to "bind". They describe an ancient weaving technique and the vibrant fabrics that are created through this special craft.  Once used in ceremonial dress, to decorate the entrances of homes, and to symbolize wealth and prestige. Today, they are considered a form of are.  http://www.exploretessera.com/index.php/our-collection/details/browse/ikats/

You can bring the magic of the ikat into your home  as special upholstery pieces, wall hangings, pillows, table runners, framed artwork and so much more. 

Table Runners 

I love the use of color and the way the Ikat table runners are used together on the table to create the feel of place mats instead of the traditional way of placing the runner lenghtwise.

 

Upholstery

The Ikat upholstered, black lacquered chair is stunning paired with the white sofa.  It adds that pop of color and WOW factor to the living room.

Throw Pillows

You simply can't go wrong using the Ikat pattern on a couple of throw pillows.

Try any of these looks for spring! Start small with some throw pillows and if you love them, be bold!
I'd love to share my love for Suzani's with you and I still have some available at Cotswold Marketplace or contacted me so that I can share the love. Rosa Dest Interiors
