Decorating trend: Neutrals
Fabrics make the most impact when used in unexpected ways. A braid-trim dado, anyone?

Soothe the eye with on-trend ombré paint effects.
Faux-stone finishes trick the senses.
Increase the glam-factor with brass finishes..
Subtle graphic designs help transform a simple look.
Cocoon yourself in swathes of linen.
