Color Trend Alert!

Be bold, be beautiful, be bright…

Some designers have been using them for years, like Tricia Guild featured in the photo above.  More recently I have seen brights emerging in collections across the board. 

I found these “no twist” Thomas O’Brien towels online at Target.  I just learned about “no twist” yarns on a recent trip to New York from a friend in the towel business.  This up to date finishing process gives the towels a super soft hand.   Too bad Target does not ship to Israel… I’ll keep an eye out for the no twist here and keep you posted (no pun intended!).

And these super colorful leather Moroccan puffs from John Derian are a sure update to the leather 70’s bean bag chair seen in every wood panneled play room back in the day… well, back in my day!  I like the cheery colors, but these don’t look very comfortable. 

How about a bright leather date book or two from Graphic Leather to go with the towels and the stools?  Their collection also includes leather pens in the same bright colors, easy to spot around the house! 

Silk is one fabric that takes bright dyes really well.  The Silk Trading Company has a collection of textiles that are bold, bright and beautiful. I have also found silk pillows and bedcoverings here in Israel at the Home Center at reasonable prices.

If you keep looking you can find more and more brights from fashion designers like Jil Sander and big name stores like The Conran Shop. 

Happy shopping!
