Trend Alert: Black Fixtures

A new trend we are seeing more of are black fixtures used in kitchens and baths. This strong color adds contrast and a touch of drama, especially when against a white backdrop. The black finish accentuates the shape of the fixture and it becomes more of a statement rather than just a faucet.

Design Trend: Black and Gold

It's no secret we love black and gold--after a few seconds pursuing our website, and you'll see that.  However, we aren't the only ones who have a strong love for this glam pair.  They are both classics and look sophisticated together and standing alone.  Here are a few finds that have caught my eye.

black and gold home decor products

one // this ceramic bowl is perfect amount of added glam for styling a shelf, table or desk.

two // moroccan appetizer plates are sure to get your guests' attention.

three // hex matte brass knobs that are not your 90's brass hardware- yes, please. 

four // these urchin figurines come in two sizes and are great for a pop of glam in any space.

five // black, white, gold and velvet.  How much more luxe can you get?

six // a steal, this Nate Berkus frame looks far more expensive than its $13 price tag. 

seven // i've seen this light used in an entry, a nursery, a laundry room...and it looks great in every single space.  

eight // this rug is one item i've been drooling over for quite some time.  it's an indoor/outdoor so it can handle high traffic and kiddos and the design is so striking.

nine // nothing can add sophistication to a space like some good lighting...especially when that lighting has a gold base and black shade. I can see it in an entry, living room, bedroom and office. Gorgeous.
