Interior Design Sense

An eclectic outdoor furniture collection by Italian furniture brand Serralunga, Canisse was created in collaboration with famed French designer Philippe Nigro. It boasts a natural, casually assembled look that reminds us of reeds or sticks of varying heights, lined up around comfy cushions that beg you to sit and relax. The Canisse collection comes in a range of colors, from the neutral-toned White, Sand and Pearl Grey, to trendy pastels like Old Rose and China Blue, and bold hues including Olive Green, Yacht Blue and Pompeian Red. Cushions too come in cool coordinating colors, or choose a contrasting shade to brighten up your outdoor living rooms. And if you like the look, bring these sofas and chairs indoors to give your eclectic living room, library or sitting area an “assorted” edge.

Out with the old, in with the new.  Just as in fashion, where we see trends come and go, (and sometimes come full circle decades later) decorating has its trends that move with the colors of the year(s).  For quite sometime now (i’d say over the past 2 years), gray has become the new beige and it’s making a statement like no other.  Gray is such a calming color but it can be bright, light, dark, subtle…no matter what, it’s always soothing to the eye.  This is the very reason I’ve been convincing my clients to use so much gray lately, especially on the walls!  It’s the perfect neutral that will cohesively tie any room together.  Take a look at these gray rooms and see how well it works in different spaces:

I’m loving these lanterns and chairs in this country gray kitchen!

Don’t be afraid to mix your grays and beiges just make sure that gray is the more dominant color in the room.  It will freshen up your space instantly and keep you on trend!

Can you imagine going to work every day and in between tasks being able to get a tattoo, get in some target practice at a shooting range, hang out in a tree house, slide down a fireman’s pole, have a milkshake snack at a canteen…all without leaving the office?!?! Yes, that is the insane workplace of Missing Link, corporate presentation designers based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Makes my drab, mismatched office with busted, dirty chairs (and everyone thinks the federal government wastes money – not on furniture they don’t!) look even worse. We can’t even get coffee without having to trudge across the street in snow… (more details via VISI)
