Style Trends 2012

Interior Design Market 2012 – STYLE TRENDS

     The new style trends offer something for everyone. Vintage Appeal, Loft Exotic and Urban Luxe were evident influences in lamps, furniture, accessories, artwork and rugs for the interior and exterior of your home. Vintage Appeal consists of weathered white - wash finishes, antiqued mirrored glass and historical influences reminiscent of French Country design and Old World inspiration. Loft Exotic is for those of us who crave color and eclecticism. Splashes of warm saturated color, cultural motifs and contemporary art or light fixtures are thrown in the mix for the most fashion forward appeal. Urban Luxe exudes a sophisticated almost masculine vibe with a dramatic neutral palette. Bold statement pieces with an artistic flair, and transitional artwork are paired with neutral elements and shots of cool vibrant blue to complete the look. All of these trends will be evident in items arriving daily at Bella Interiors. The time is now to be in style!

Color Trends 2012

 Interior Design Market 2012 – COLOR TRENDS

    

       At Market this July, The designers at Bella were inspired by the predicted color and style trends for Fall 2012. Citrus orange seems to be the new hot color for summer and fall and gallery grays are still the most prominent neutral. Painting a room or a single wall is one of the most economical ways to get a whole new look for your space and keep your home updated. If you would like to try these colors in your home we recommend Tangerine Dream and/or Litchfield Gray by Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams Lei Flower and/or Sedate Gray. If you are hesitant to go all out with the latest colors by painting walls, add a splash to your decor here and there with throw pillows, artwork, floral arrangements or a few new accessories. Come by Bella Interiors and see what exciting and new items are arriving daily from our recent market purchases!

Juicy June 2012

     Summertime is all about COLOR! Bright, saturated colors are inspired by the fruits of the season. Watermelon, mango, pineapple and lime are "hot" colors this June to use inside and outside your home. These juicy colors are fun to use on throw pillows, table toppers, table decor and decorative accessories. 

     

     Fabrics with patterns such as ikat and ethnic prints are very trendy and easy to use as throw pillows. Pillows can be an affordable way to change the look of your decor for the summer. Also, use these fabrics or a roll of bright fabric mesh as table toppers or runners to add a splash of color to your outdoor entertaining. When everyone is cooking out and having parties give your table scape a fresh touch with a twist of colorful place mats, chargers, napkins and dishes.

     Decorative accessories can also be rotated with everyday items to renew your homes spirit. Candles, flower arrangements and vases can be found in all of the summer brights. Even a bowl or basket filled with colorful glass balls adds an unexpected touch of whimsy. Check out all of these trends and many more beautiful items for your home decor at Bella Interiors.

Memory Blocks

Looking for a special and unique gift for someone, perhaps a wedding, anniversary or birthday gift? Come to Bella Interiors and see our Sid Dickens Memory Blocks. Bella Interiors is the exclusive retailer in this and the surrounding area that sells the tiles. A Sid Dickens Memory Block is a piece of artwork that is a hand- crafted plaster tile that represents history in a very whimsical modern way.

The artist, Sid Dickens is from Vancouver, Canada and has traveled the world over gathering mementos from his journeys. After receiving inspiration during his many travels he wanted to capture his memories of bookstores, museums, and historical architecture from around the world in a beautiful art form. Each tile has an artistic image on the front while the back depicts a unique quote or meaning to accompany the artwork. Some tiles are finished to a porcelain - like quality, while others have a cracked weathered stone look.

You can start with a single tile or build a collection according to your budget. This is a very affordable way to decorate with hand-crafted original artwork at a starting price far below that of prints or paintings. These tiles can be grouped in a variety of arrangements according to subject matter, color, or space to convey your own style. Each season new tiles are introduced into the collection while others are retired. This formulates an ever changing and fresh collection while the retired tiles increase in value and desirability. Give that special someone something unique that they can enjoy and add to over time. Help them start their own personal collection with Sid Dickens Memory Blocks from Bella Interiors!

Decorating your Door for Every Season

After the holidays when all of the colorful decorations come down, the outside of our homes look like they are missing that special touch. Here in the South we want that eye catching curb appeal year round. Bridging the gap between seasons with decor around the front door is easier than you might imagine. Using a simple grapevine as the unchanging constant, you can add or take away fabric and decor to compliment any season or event.
Whether it's Valentines, Mardi Gras, Easter, or a Spring or Summer theme, these are all great opportunities to add color and possibly a little whimsy to your homes exterior. For Valentines you could add colorful mesh fabric or ribbon and even carry over some of the gold, silver and red ornaments from Christmas. At Bella Interiors you will find an array of floral items and greenery that could be used for an Easter or Spring burst of color as well as rolls of fabric mesh in all colors and textures. Think big and bold and use fewer items for the most impact. Use your imagination and creativity or let one of the designers at Bella decorate for you!
