This spring, we’re seeing lots of different elements coming together in a single look<\/b><\/p>\n

Every season has its trends, but how do you know if they\u2019re right for you?<\/p>\n

Our goal is to take the hottest trends and show you how they can easily be incorporated into your existing home d\u00e9cor\u2014Even if you\u2019re a little unsure.<\/p>\n

The idea of mixing metals and woods can be a bit daunting. You have to be careful not to overdo one or the other or your room will look unbalanced. But, if you’re ready to change things up, we’ve listed three fabulous ways to pull this on-trend look together.<\/p>\n

Forget Tone on Tone<\/b><\/p>\n

Between ruffles on chrome, brick next to shag and wood against glass, our imagination is running wild. It\u2019s refreshing to see a mix of elements working together in home d\u00e9cor harmony.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days of tone on tone and solid themes. Boring! Remember how we used to match our shoes with our bag, our nails and our outfit? For years, the fashion world has avoided looking too “matchy-matchy” and the world of home decor has followed suit.<\/p>\n

Take a look around your space and see what elements you can play with to make a statement. The more opposite, the better.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

A perfect piece to compliment this trend is our Opal Coffee Table In Beech<\/a>. The design is contemporary while the beech finish adds a shot of sophistication. Crystal cut and shiny, the glass is a gorgeous juxtaposition against the wood\u2014A go to statement for any living room or den.<\/p>\n

Major Metals<\/b><\/p>\n

\"mixing<\/a>This season we\u2019re seeing big statements in stainless steel, chrome, nickel, wrought iron and our hottest pick, brass. Together these metals create a fresh sense of sophistication that we\u2019ve been waiting for all winter long.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how can you put a little brass in your life? You\u2019d be surprised at the treasures you might already have tucked away.<\/p>\n

This is where old antiques and heirlooms can shine again. Brass plates, cutlery and vases are all on trend.<\/p>\n

Dust them off and put them on display.<\/p>\n

Grainy & Distressed Wood<\/b><\/p>\n

Wooden statement pieces are making a home decor comeback this spring as we get ready for beach weather.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t grainy and distressed wood remind you of the driftwood along the ocean? There\u2019s something special about these unfinished pieces that tie in perfectly with your finished d\u00e9cor. (Once again, mixing elements comes into play!)<\/p>\n

If you have unfinished wooden accent pieces in your basement or garage, now is the time to pull them out and let them shine. If not, our South Beach Night Table In Weathered Oak<\/a> might be perfect for you.<\/p>\n

\"inspire<\/a>
\nRemember, taking risks in the home d\u00e9cor world usually pays off. And with spring in the air it\u2019s a great time to take a look around your space, mix things up and add some new elements to your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n
