Have you’ve looked around your house lately and thought things needed an update? Maybe the pillows are tired and the accessories have been the same for years. Here are six trends to jump start your style. Adding any of these elements will give both you and your space a lift.

The Big Brass Band we want to say “say it isn’t so” – but it’s true. Brass hardware has returned and is showing up in the latest home projects in a variety of way. If you like it, it’s a pretty easy transition. You can switch out some handles, perhaps get a brass lamp and vase or candle holder. It will give you the update without the long-term commitment. Here we’re showing the brass look inside a closet – just in case you want to make a longer term commitment!

Simply Elegant – think classic kinds of prints. These are great if they match your personality. They have good staying power, as anything classic does. Pictured here are window coverings from Home Decor.

Gloss – love this trend. Technology in material development allows for using gloss materials that don’t require as big of a financial commitment as they used to. A great way to incorporate a small amount is to just do a few doors or drawers. Then in a few years, if you’ve planned correctly, you can change those out for a different material.

Bright Colors – another fun trend that’s also somewhat driven by technology. We now have the ability to make all kinds of things in all kinds of colors. And bright isn’t just for kids anymore.
