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
Trend $ 5 - GLOBAL VILLAGE MASH-UP
Italian-style furniture with Indian patterning and detail. Art Deco upholstery done in tribal fabric. An antique table next to an ultra modern chair. What was once specific and unique to one culture, time or place is no more. In this digital age where cultural boundaries are crossed and commingled, the integration of one culture into the next is the new norm. Just about anything is fair game for anyone anywhere, as long as the look works. Gone are the old school rules of decorating according to a specific style or era. It’s much more interesting to mix and match, and come up with a unique look that’s all about your own style. Photo Caption: 1920s Odeon Glass Fringe Chandelier Photo by Restoration Hardware
