After sorting through several design magazines. catalogs, and various websites it seems the trends this coming year will be shades of green and organic. I attended a floral design workshop and this was the theme of one of the presentations in several designs. Like so many of us have done before when staging is to go and cut greenery from yard and arrange it in a clear fish bowl and if you haven't it makes a very subtle and unassuming statement to buyers. Visually shades of green are calming, tranquil, fresh, and of course, organic. These arrangements were very simple in design, from a succulent in a small, low container, clear showing the water to several date palm leaves in the fish bowl. It's the little details like this, I believe, that makes the difference and it's so simple but not "cheesy."
Anyway, I thought I would share that with you.
The LR in the home to the left is beautiful but imagine some "fresh" greenery, like springeri fern in a clear container on the fireplace mantle that is stark white along with the stark white walls. It would make it more appealing and reflect more of a focal point without being overpowering.
