Recently, Helly and the team at Design Matters Home presented their vision for the hottest trends in interior design and fashion at the state-of-the-art showroom at
Mountain High Appliance in Louisville.
From the pouring of the drinks featuring the newest flavor of vodka, Bubble Gum, to the fabulous clothes provided by the
Vie Vie Luxe Boutique, the night was a sparkling success.

Here are some of the trends we featured:
- Gray, purple and turquoise are important colors for the coming year. Gray is the choice neutral and a color that can be paired with either bold brights or soft pastels.
- Color themes focus on tribal color combinations that are rich and earthy, and aged or mellowed colors that evoke the past.
- Artisanal interiors that are timeless, personal and purposeful. Look for a movement away from cloned, mass design.
- Keeping it real by using materials with a natural patina, an imperfect finish or an aged texture.
- In the middle of timeless and artisanal design, add small doses of luxury or bits of embellishments, such as buttons, gilding, inlay or mosaic work. These add interest and a sense of luxury without high cost.
- Look for wallpaper in an unexpected place: the ceiling. (The wallpapered dumpsters were also a big hit!)
- Furniture is modular and multi-purpose. Curved lines add softness and comfort.
- Organic and curved shapes are also important in the kitchen, off-setting hard lines and angles.
In addition, the newest retail furniture store in the Boulder area,
ARHaus, provided samples of their recycled glass containers and organic and recycled fabrics that helped us highlight one of the most important trends of recent years: green and sustainable design.
