Interiors are Now Inspired by Technology!

California is home to lots of tech startups, so why not have technology influence our home décor? One of the newest design trends is computer created wallpapers and fabric prints. That means you aren’t stuck choosing from the wallpaper or fabric choices in stores – you can create your own designs. Talk about freedom of design!

Another tech-inspired product I thought was super interesting is the AURA lamp that can light up a room with a certain texture. It’s a cheaper alternative to another hot trend, 3D wall panels that sort of look like tiles on a wall except with a futuristic look. You can buy them in loads of interesting shapes and they create a unique shadow and light effect to your room.

California is full of talented people and companies who are creating custom orders for textiles, ceramics, and lightning. They are also taking tips from the fashion industry and incorporating them into their designs like fashions newest trends: oversized floral prints,  gingham, and lace!

Cowhide Paired with Modern Pops of Color

Around California, elements of cowhide are finding their way into throw blankets, pillows, rugs and even some artwork. Pairing these natural textures with modern accent colors such as pops of deep navy or blue is becoming a staple in new home designs – their natural hues make them appear extra vibrant against warm earth tones.
