I love this quote by Lynda Reeves in the October 2014 issue of House and Home Magazine.
“Usually, when I step into a room that’s on-trend by a hip new designer, I’m more likely struck by the drama of a huge piece of contemporary art, the starkness of an almost-empty room or the bold architecture and scale of the space. That’s all fine, and I get it. Great spaces are, in themselves, art. But what about decorating? What about rooms that are layered with details and made comfy and interesting by what’s in them? Well, I am happy to report that it seems our current love of the “undecorated look” has finally maxed out. We’ve come full circle, and warm, layered, cozy rooms are a trend again. I have a sense that this trend is going to be big.”

They tend to envelop the room and act as a back drop. They bring about the opportunity to pull a room together for cohesiveness with color and pattern and even texture. They stop the eye, and allow you to enjoy the room itself. Read the entire post here…
