Gilmore is a 27 year old who loves decorating and is a self-proclaimed expert on just about everything. At least she likes to think so. Copyright 2011. Consult a design professional before beginning your project.Usually when referring to penny floors it’s just penny round tile. It usually comes in ceramic or natural stone and this is a popular decorating trend.
However, some people have really gotten literal with this. They’re using actual pennies. Smaller projects include this as a table top. This makes me wonder if it costs less per square foot to use real pennies as opposed to actual tiles.
My favorite new design trend has to be nail head trend. We just used to see this on basic upholstery as trim. Not it’s much more of an accent. You can find it around lots of lamp shades. My favorite use is to create a pattern with it on a buffet. It does take a lot of work to actually do this yourself so I’m hoping that the trend becomes so big that it becomes cheap on the mass market so I won’t have to try it as a DIY project. What’s your favorite new design trend?
Probably the biggest home decor trend for flooring for the last few years has been sheepskin rugs. They add modern style to any room. However, when I looked through the Comfy Sheepskin site I realized that there are many more ways to use this material in a variety of sheepskin products .
This isn’t just for home decor. There are custom sheepskin seat covers. I would love to try these in my car because the upholstery is stained and it’s not that comfortable either. New seat covers would definitely fix that. It takes a few days for these pieces to be made so it will fit your bucket seats exactly. I also didn’t know that there were so many color options available. Usually I just see it in white. I guess when a material becomes popular there are always innovators out there finding new ways to use it.
I think for any fashionista the pinnacle is a wedding dress. I find it funny that being a bridezilla seems to be such a big trend; as does hiring wedding planners. If you hired someone to take all of the stress off your big day shouldn’t you be relaxed or happy? On a recent show I think it was “Who’s Wedding Is It Anyways?” the planner had a good comeback. He or she said ‘You can’t fix crazy’. They had been fixing all of these problems that didn’t exist but at the end of the day you just can’t fix crazy.
The big problem with finding the new decorating trends for 2012 is that most of the decor shows are on hiatus so that isn’t an option. Plus, a lot of the decorating trends come from blogging projects that won’t happen or catch on until later in the year. This is why I like to look for trends on shopping sites. For instance looking at yellow curtain panels taught me that color will probably be a big trend this year. Looking for a zebra lamp shade let me figure out that animal prints are still popular but we’re seeing them on drum shades for a modern effect. When I wanted to know what metal finishes were en vogue I just looked at bathroom accessories like wall towel racks.
Become.com is a different kind of search engine. They sort through 3.2 billion pages to bring you the best. It’s also a way of shopping that helps to reduce spam. You can read what other customers have to say to help you get to know the product better before you even buy it. They even have some news results.
When I did a search for bedding it was really easy to narrow down what I wanted. I could choose from store, price, and category. Of course size was an option but I could also sort by color and material too. Finding a gray bed set that would fit my space just took a few seconds with all of these options. So if you’re looking for a totally new shopping experience or just want to window shop without all of the hassles then try a shopping comparison site.
