ALLENTOWN, Pa. - As meteorologist Matt Broderick has been telling us, the temperature is heating up, so we showcased spring to summer home design trends recently 69 News at Sunrise.

Interior decorator Shoshana Gosselin, from Love Your Room, joined WFMZ's Eve Russo in the studio to show us some styles taking decorators by storm!

BELOW IS A BREAKDOWN 
OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED ON THIS 
CUTE HOME DECOR TV SEGMENT

 . 

Home design has been coming into its own in 2017 with distinct looks and styles.  Late spring time is my favorite season to spy real change because we are transitioning into summer!  I am inspired by what I am seeing!  Of course, they are right off the runway and into our home decor!  

FOUR trends that are making headlines include:

FLORALS

From the recent fashion runways to inside our homes, Florals are everywhere!  Popular in wallpaper, pillows, tile patterns, bedding, and curtains.  Prints are large yet delicate, ornate and refined.

GINGHAM

 Carolina Herrera to Studio McGee Bathroom 

Classic and reminiscent of lazy days enjoying a picnic, the Gingham pattern is not only the hot trend for spring to summer, but it has been around for a very long time, including the Victorian era.  It is only natural that it comes into its own this spring!  And the room style you use it doesn't have to be country inspired.  I have been reading recently that celebrities like Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Amal Clooney have been spotted in Gingham.   Check out how these designers are using it!

Whats the difference between Plaid an Gingham?  
TWO main differences:

1.  Gingham is always two colors.  Plaid is multiple colors. 

2.  Gingham is made up of lines that are equal sized.  Plaid has a lot of different sized lines.

ACRYLIC

Per Pinterest there has been a 50% rise in acrylic coffee tables, trays, and more! Pairing this material with more traditional, rustic, industrial or any other style, will add a modern twist and fun eclectic feel to any space.  See these ideas below!

Tomorrow I Share Spring into Summer Home Design Trends That Are Coming Into Their Own

I am getting ready right now for a fun time tomorrow on WFMZ TV 69 News At Sunrise with Eve Russo.  At 8:50 am I will be sharing home design trends that anyone can incorporate.  I have had my eye on the fashion runway, checking out many amazing interior designers and bloggers, and have seen a spike in these four trends.  Hope you can tune in!  I will of course have the skinny on it all later that day if you miss the show.  Have a lovely day!

A Spring Bedroom Of Blue And Green

"I envision this bedroom to be cozy and serene."  Those were the words our very sweet client used when she hired us to design a guest bedroom for her in-laws that were coming from overseas in eight weeks.  The last guest bedroom we did for her (see pic at end of this post) was much more specific to a whimsical style, but this one would be completely different.

Walls were painted Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter.  

Generously sized night stands like this one allow for a lamp, and more space for alarm clock and/or cell phone.  Drawer space or an extra open area give space for him/her to store a book, TV remote, or any other item your guest brought with them that they want to have near the bed.

......p.s. Terrariums (you can find these everywhere these days!) with some stones and faux succulents are great table top decor because they bring in the look of nature and never need to be watered!

For us, 'cozy and serene' included light airy bedding, natural textures and woods, and accent colors that were spa like.  We chose an upholstered headboard with oil bronze nail heads in a nubby linen fabric.  

The duvet cover and bed skirt are fresh and neutral so if the homeowner decides to change out the accent colors, there will not be a need to lose these previously bought pieces.  

The window roman shade is of woven material.  It has black out and is cordless.  

Blocking the morning sun and giving privacy to guests is key.  This is your chance to make a stylish statement!  

We added custom pleated drapes for drama.  The medallion pattern on this curtain is so pretty!  We hung them from brass rods and rings.  

A few pillows give the bed a comfy soft colorful look and can be used as an extra cushion behind the standard or king bed pillow, or for behind the back to sit up in bed.

Mix the fabric you use for a layered textural look!  We included velvet, knitted and embroidered pillows.

Every guest bedroom should have a large wall mirror for viewing clothing, hair and make up.  I also love a bench as well, so someone can take on/pull off shoes or place a suitcase or clothing on it.

Here is the guest bedroom we created for this client previously.  We had fun with this one, bringing in sunny yellow and happy green tones. We used stage coach valances, sheers, and cottage rustic looking furniture pieces. 

Taupe : The New Neutral Paint

Grey and Greige paints have been my go-to colors for the last few years.  Clients specifically ask for them.  But lately I have had an interest in more taupe tones.  Some have a soft brown undertone and some have a lovely grey finish.  These colors can create a very beutiful and comforting vibe.

I am loving these Benjamin Moore colors:
Silver Fox 2108-50
Portland 2109-60
Through the Looking Glass CSP-495
Mauve Desert 2213-50


Below I give an idea of how to use these taupes together throughout your first floor.  I included Chantilly Lace (OC-65) as complimenting trim color to the paints:
