Mixing Patterns

The trend was first noticed when an Authentic Restoration roofing in Birmingham started using mixed patters for the roof. Manufacturers started giving these patterns in the form of textiles. Mix matched patterns are being sold in textiles, such as bedding with beautiful and bright colors in a type of old fashioned quilts. To tie in a bedroom, mixed patterns in throw pillows are also included. You can have a comforter custom made from decorating fabrics in a huge variety of color and pattern choices to reflect your style.

The Faux Products

Faux products are all the rage this year. Many faux finishes actually excel over the real products in durability and are less expensive to start. Quartz kitchen countertops are a better choice in kitchens as they can withstand more heat and acidic foods than marble. Faux flooring can achieve the trendy gray color in flooring that is more expensive due to the time involved in coloring it. You will also see a return of faux leather on counters, bars and faux foliage throughout a home.
