An Ode To The Setting Summer Sun
An Ode To The Setting Summer Sun

Dwelling & Design’s recent showroom tablesetting utilizes coastal elements, as well as warm & vibrant orange, to celebrate end of Summer and set the stage for the upcoming Fall season. For this feature, we highlight a dining table decorated in a summer coastal theme. Along with classic blue and white, another color is brought into the fold, adding a warm and lively new dynamic. This usage of orange is in-part dedicated to “the setting summer sun” and those precious remaining days at the beach, or wherever your favorite vacation spot may be. The fluid, paisley pattern of the tablecloth almost...

NY NOW Gift Show Recap
NY NOW Gift Show Recap

Last week, Fiona, Don and Mindie attended the NY NOW Gift Show in — you guessed it — New York City! During this annual event, their goal is to seek out new items for the Fall, as well as upcoming holiday season. As usual, they were in luck and discovered lots of amazing pieces and products. While reluctant to disclose everything they purchased (they enjoy the surprise factor of waiting to reveal new items in-store), they did mention a few things they are excited to receive, including new Julie Vos Jewelry, Juliska Housewares, John Robshaw Textiles and new lighting products. They look...

Upcoming Trends: Late 2016/Early 2017

Okay, so before we get underway, we have a quick question.  Um, tracksuits…?  TRACKSUITS???  We heard a bird chirping the other day that these were on their way back, and… whatever.  If that’s what the kids wanna parade around in, then like we said, WHATEVER.  We have different ideas when it comes to dressing ourselves (like a little less polyester), but will always do our best to go with the flow!   Anyways… onto more serious conversation (we think!). Whilst looking around and anticipating the changing of the seasons, we’ve made some observations across the design realm – fashion, furniture, fabrics,...

Spring 2016 Highpoint Market Trends & Highlights – Part #2

Spring 2016 Highpoint Market Trends & Highlights – Part #2 (Annnd we’re back!  In continuation of the blog detailing our recent trip to Spring 2016 Highpoint Market, we present you with the second half, including more highlights, insights and pretty pictures… hope you enjoy!) We see a continuance of oriental inspiration from The Far East and Middle East (think India and Persia); characteristic combinations of angles and curves that convey a spirituality and mindfulness of the different earthly elements (land, water, wind & fire) and how – rather than clashing — they instead work together, in harmonious dance and balance. We...
