Terrell's Favorite Spring Fabric Combinations!

I am very excited about the new spring fabric collections for 2012.  I mentioned several blogs ago that Tangerine Tango is the Pantone Color of the Year. So, I had to add an orange color combination as one of my favorites.
Even though neutrals are still very popular this year, I am still drawn to colorful spaces. As a designer, I do like to warn clients that if they get bored very fast, it is safer to keep your staples and large furniture pieces neutral and accessorize using fun colors and patterns.

This combination is fabulous for the person who loves the look of modern flair. Orange adds life to a room.  The patterns are fun and lively.  The combination is called Flame.

Yes, I am drawn to pinks and greens. How fun is this for a little girl's room? This combination is called Bubblegum!

This is a very sophisticated look.  The patterns work well together.  If you noticed with all of the combinations, if your main fabric has a light background, it is safe to add a darker contrasting fabric to compliment the look. I call this combination Gold/Silver. 

All of these fabrics came from one of my favorite fabric lines, Duralee.  Give me a call if you have questions on how to combine your fabric patterns.

Stuck In a Decorating Rut...Paint!!!

Even though the economic job market is moving slowly in a positive direction, the housing market is still in a slump.  People have been forced to stay in their homes and work with what they have.  If you are going to stay in your home, you might as well decorate it to your liking using pieces you already have on hand. 

Sometimes, adding a splash of paint color helps eliminate the need for over accessorizing the room and the walls.  Many people are afraid of paint color.  Just remember, painting is one of the cheapest accessories you can add to any room.  If you don't like the color, paint over it and start over again.  I would suggest buying small samples of color.  One of my favorite paint companies, Benjamin Moore, sells small samples of color to try out.  Paint an area of the wall and allow the paint to dry to determine if you are going to like the look. 

I love how the mood of this room changes when the wall colors change.  Color ignites different moods.

This room has a more vibrant look and feel using the lighter color Refined on the main walls.

This is my favorite look.  I love dark walls with light colored furniture.  I plan on painting my bedroom French Press using cream and neutral fabrics to soften the look and feel of my space.

Here's one of my favorite 2012 Color Palette Trends by Benjamin Moore.  

Thanks to Benjamin Moore paint for inspiring us with color!

Welcome To My Abode by Posh Interiors, LLC

The foyer to your home should set the tone and mood for the entire house. This space should be warm and inviting and make you feel happy to be home.  In many cases, you can figure out the style of the homeowner by the entryway.



This contemporary foyer by designer Michael Habachy is a beautiful example of tone on tone. The pop of orange adds just enough color for this entryway.



Traditional at its best is how I would describe this foyer by designer Terrell Dinkins. From the cut glass door to the bombay chest, this entryway creates a warm and inviting feel for all who enter the home.





Designer Kerry Howard has created one of my favorite design styles-Transitional. I love the layers in this space. All of the elements of Feng Shui are present in this entryway.

I would love to see your foyer pictures. Forward the photos to terrelldinkins@poshinteriorsllc.com.
