Crystal cut glass
I’ve been noticing that cut crystal Glass wear….Yes the very same Waterford knockoffs on display in my grandmother’s dining room armoire that have been so uncool for so long are making a comeback. But it’s come out of the china cabinet. The modern context for crystal glass is a minimalist backdrop, where the refracted light bouncing off its edges is the focus. Rose coloured glass is my personal favourite, adding that girly vintage feel. Here, to convince you, I’ve rounded up a few examples!
HERRINGBONE
Herringbone patterns continue to look fresh, Still going strong from 2014. There are many places though out the home that these can be used successfully. In many understated and overstated forms.

This pattern has emerged into the design world in a significant way; it is clean, tailored and linear. These days herringbone can be found on everything from rugs and pillows, tables and walls and even flooring.
Out of the box pendant lighting
Pendant lighting is a hot item at the moment. We’re seeing an upward surge in demand for pendant lights in 2015. Some Great looks draw inspiration from the past, while other styles are uniquely contemporary in design. Bowl pendants and drum pendants are both important silhouettes. Industrial looks and out of the box ideas have really heading the pack for me. Multi-light pendants are another important category, with many trend-setters choosing to incorporate several fixtures into their interior designs.

Danish mid century credenzas
Can We say Obsessed? Yes I think so! My love affair with vintage furniture has risen to a new level when it comes to danish mid century modern sideboards or credenzas. While the terms ‘antique’ and ‘vintage’ are often used interchangeably, generally speaking, “vintage” refers to furniture that is less than 100 years old and “antique” refers to pieces that are over 100 years old. That being the case, vintage furniture covers everything from Art Deco, to Hollywood Regency to the Eighties to my most popular vintage style – Mid-Century Modern.
