Residential Interior Home Designs
Nice Kitchen Design Trends
As such, home design or redesign is not something anyone should be intimidated by, as it is something that can be achieved with relative ease. Incorporating smaller design elements into the larger context of your home will not have much of an impact on your schedule and will certainly not disrupt the normal functioning of your household. This means you can update the look of your home and feel like you have created a radically different area without having to spend a lot of money or dedicate a lot of valuable resources to the project. As such, it is possible to incorporate some modern home design element into your existing home and radically influence its overall look and feel without having to engage in any major renovations. Home design trends are continually evolving and incorporating new themes and ideas into the larger spectrum of fashionable home design.

ABC CARPET NEW YORK INTRODUCES COLOR REFORM TRENDS COLLECTION TO SALVAGE OLD RUGS
I got an interesting email from ABC Carpet & Home New York this week, that captured my interest - they (ABC Carpet & Home) is encouraging us to look on the bright side for 2010 with a their new rug collection that promises to: "escape predictability, embrace the unconventional, and help preserve our planet." This new assortment of hybrid carpets called Color Reform, transforms imperfect, vintage rugs into modern works of art. ABC Carpets are literally “...rescuing carpets from the “rug graveyard” and giving them a new lease on life.”
ABC Carpet & Home has utilized this notion to develop the concept of Color Reform, which refers to evolutionary change through color. Each one of a kind rug was individually handcrafted by Turkish artisans in the Toros Mountains. The vintage rugs are neutralized to remove their original color and then over-dyed to create their remarkable chromatic state. The variations in the tonality of pigments result from the carpet’s original concentration of color combined with the dye application process conceived from each artist’s distinct vision.
Exotic rainbow hues range from neon pink and electric green to opulent reds and saturated yellows. The striking compositions evoke an almost translucent appearance as irregular, partially faded motifs emerge through the color, adding complexity and interest to each piece. Below is one of my favourites in the series, in a more neutral color palette, that I think you would be able to live with for many years to come and pass on to future generations.
