There’s always a first, the American retailer K Mart, a leader in budget product is now an authority on up and coming home furnishing trends.  This series of 4 videos which feature K Mart’s chief design officer, Theresa, are not bad and offer some good, easy tips on how to look for emerging market trends.

If K Mart can do it, you can too:

Shopping the market for new ideas is a way to expand your personal library.

* Start by visiting three upscale stores that focus on your area of interest.

* Follow Theresa’s advice and take photos, make sketches and purchase  product when necessary.

* Pick a place in your home where you can keep these inspirational ideas displayed, preferably a room with an undisturbed corner.

* Create your own in home reference library and track current trends as they happen.

It’s easy, its fun and it’s free!
