Design is a Differentiator

from ASID Eye on Design:

Not even the Great Recession has trumped the importance and differentiation potential of design excellence. Leaders who responded to our survey reported a renewed client interest in quality and return on investment. Note that these characteristics are not mutually exclusive. Enduring performance and a holistic focus are important to owners. Geopolitics outside the United States is placing high value on the importance of design in our collective future — not just designing for problems that need to be solved but designing for prevention.

We can help you design your space with artwork that makes a statement, enhances your image and improves client retention.  www.artrentandlease.com

White - a HOT color trend, use it DELIBERATELY!

Color trends 2011 for modern interiors, white hot!

Each year the Color Marketing Group or CMG convenes to forecast what will be hot for the coming year.


This is important information. Furniture manufacturers, for the most part, are trend followers and will plan their introductions and production on what is current in the marketplace.

There are always exceptions to this rule, though.

Some manufacturers are trendsetters. They have a tendency to just "go with their gut." This is the more popular approach for more contemporary furniture manufacturers because it defines who they are....being trendsetters is , well, what makes them contemporary

Inspiration for new color trends comes from a variety of sources for the CMG. They look at fashion, culture, mods, and attitudes and formally develop reports to assist manufacturers in their product development.

It is important for you to know what is "in" and what is "out" if you are in the market for furniture and accessories.

White is a color that never goes out of style. The key to using white in modern interiors is to use it VERY DELIBERATELY. Using white as a color is the trend....using white as absence of color is, well, just boring.

So, here are some Red and Gold accessories to thwart any dawdling in putting your home in a festive mood for this holiday season.
