Coffee on a Colored Table

Ikea VEMB Stripe $399 and Company C Giverny Floral

The best form of flattery is when friends or family ask me for my advice on something design related. Recently, I've had multiple people ask if I have any good recommendations for colorful coffee, end, and nightstand tables. I found multiple colorful possibilities for all different budget ranges.

The coolest find is the Red Fretwork Coffee and End Table on Horchow.com. Both are under $500 and can be used indoor or outdoor. They offer a red lacquer finish that will surely brighten any room!

Bungalow 5 has a Brigitte 5 End Table/ Night Stand, available at Layla Grayce $767.

The Bungalow 5 Jacqui Coffee Table $715, also on Layla Grayce. Matching end tables.

The West Elm Turned-Leg Nightstand $249 in a wonderful melon red

Pair a colorful rug and other accessories and it will transform an entire room. A few good choices:

Ikea Stockholm Rand $199

The Ikea Stockholm Rand rug offers the perfect contrast to a bright lime green, red or orange coffee table.

Ikea Stockholm Figur $499

Love the vibrant colors in this figur rug! Orange and red are a perfect and unexpected combo. And then the Company C Giverny Rug is wonderful with florals and brights!

Company C Giverny Rug at Layla Grayce, starts at $90

It's so fun to decorate on other people's dimes, ha. I enjoy sharing ideas I've found in my countless hours of researching and brainstorming.

Crazy About Contrast Welt

Contrast welting on a piece of furniture adds extra detail

that gives a custom designed appearance.

In this day and age, manufacturers are
designing products that already have a contrast welt added,

no customization needed.

This adds a perfect exclamation point of color!

Take a look at some 'off the shelf' products that have this custom appearing contrast welt!

Chevron Chic

Call it what you want-
"zig zag swag"
"chevron chic"

This bold pattern is popping up everywhere. It turns boring into extraordinary.

Don't be afraid to mix patterns and colors. It gives a room something to talk about.

Adding a chevron rug to an outdated room will give it an instant modern update.

It Pays To Shop Around

Do you ever find something that you really, really want and it doesn't matter how much it costs? You are determined to have it. You muuust have it. How can you possibly live without it?

I'm with you. That happened to me today.

And yesterday. And the day before.

In fact it happens to me so frequently that if I actually purchased every "must have", I'd be flat out broke!

I've learned that it pays to shop around.

Case in point. Check these out. Great decor items...and their less expensive counter parts. See if you can tell the difference!
