2013 Decor Trends – Seeing Stripes

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Suzy Q

This year we are not only seeing stripes on the catwalks but throughout upholstering, wallpaper, and even our ceilings! Stripes are yet another exciting trend flooding the design scene and designers are putting them just about anywhere to surprise us. Get creative with stripes and add them throughout your home in unexpected places to create interest and drama. Just make sure you get it right by using pastel colors to avoid harsh, bold lines.

Your Next Bathroom Makeover – Make it a Pot of Gold

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Suzy Q

Go wild with your next bathroom makeover and try something unanticipated for a change. Take a good peak into your bathroom – it’s probably a safe color with a bland bathroom set and not much thought put into the overall theme. Why not take advantage of a small, boring space and experiment with something you have always wanted to try. Think about it, if it doesn’t turn out right it’s always easy to go back!

This small space has huge potential so try out a metallic tone from ceiling to tile. Paint your crown molding along with your entire ceiling a metallic gold, and pair it with gold damask wallpaper. Install new shiny tiles to complete your space.

BDP Tip: If you are looking for a quick fix buy a gold faucet, mirror, frames, and… voila!
