At the beginning of the year, Elle Decor, unveiled its hot trends for 2014. Have you implemented any of these yet?
1. Bejewelled kitchens: Embrace gemstone-coloured cabinetry (think teal and ruby) with brass backsplashes and matching hardware (see designer Miles Redd).
2. Honey-tone woods: Wenge and other gloomy lumber is out and Californian lightness on furniture and floors is in.
3. Saturated turquoise: Tastemakers say it's the must-have hue for fabrics and walls.
4. Hair-on-hide furniture: Ciao cowhide rugs, hello ottomans that sport long and short hair.
5. The merging of indoors and outdoors: Chairs and tables are being fashioned to feel at home inside or by the deck. In support, Sunbrella and other makers of durable fabric are creating more exciting options.
