Rose Gold Meet Copper Meet Brass

Hey.

I have loved the comeback of gold for years now and push it on my client's all the time.  The one thing I noticed this year at ICFF (along with Kips Bay and all the out of the way shops we hit) was the insurgence of rose gold and copper, along with more brass.  What it does for a room other than warm it up, gives it a classic, rich, and sometimes"worn," and expensive feel.  

Take a look at just what I came across and loved . . .






















Fun New Finds at ICFF

Howdy

Along with great digs, amazing eats and a fab Designer House in the big apple, hitting the ICFF show was high on the list as well.   I am always on the hunt for lighting, rugs,  new wall papers and great accessories.  Thought I would share my favorites from the show.  I noticed a lot of vibrant colors and patterns in the way of papers.. metallic were mixed in as well as cool tribal and bohemian patterns which I love.  In my eye, mixing such strong patterns and textures needs to have equally cool lighting whether it be simple or a little over the top (I am still on that more is more look though).  Another thing I saw was a lot of rose gold, brass and copper intros.  Take a look . . .

Lighting was abundant . . .  Apparatus (be happy to source you) was, and is always, a stand out.  Even their booth was gorgeous.   Love these . . 






From one extreme to the next, Canopy is another favorite of mine - completely different look.  Beaded, drippy, hand painted, crystals, funky.  



Phillip Watts Design had some great new hardware this year.  Want to dress up a boring cabinet . . 
Naomi Paul has a great eye.  I love the lines of her lighting.   Clean, simple yet heavy in texture.





This was the first year I came across Vito Selma.  Statement pieces for sure !










Great, fun papers by Flavor Paper - bring on a little color !





Eskayel was back with beautiful patterns . . .





And ok, had to get one of these.  Hilarious.






Another thing that Mineheart had to offer was wall paper to give you the look of wainscoting . . 


or a tufted wall !


and lastly, clever and original outdoor beauties !


Fun new stuff !! Can't wait to use.
