Designer Laura Stein shows us this year’s top design trends.

If you could choose one city in the world to find the latest trends in design and décor, it would be la Ville Lumière. Paris – the City of Light, the centre of fashion, and the home of Maison & Objet, one of the world’s largest design and décor shows. This fall, thousands of designers, artisans and manufacturers from around the globe descended on Paris to display their wares and peruse the latest trends in home décor. I was lucky enough to be among them. Undoubtedly, not every global design craze I discovered will make it to our shores, but I found five standout 2013 trends that we will surely adore. – Text Laura Stein

The trend is part Scandinavian, old-world European, country, industrial, retro, and reclaimed, and there are literally hundreds of manufacturers producing this look. It is casual, comfortable and eclectic, and because of that, this trend offers something for everyone. When shopping, look for pieces that have an interesting history or a story to tell. Not only do they make good dinner conversation, they also add extra personality to your home. Photo Caption: Riveted Mesh Chandelier Photo by Restoration Hardware
