EFFICIENCY
Don’t compromise function and
luxury. Efficiency is key in small
spaces, as seen in this kitchen
and breakfast area with beautifully built-in laundry center and
no shortage of detail.
PET-SAVVY
Man’s best friend is getting the
royal treatment in 2012 with
everything from customized
pet doors to built-in dog
bowls. This one lets you easily
hide away the mess.
DARING COLOR
Pantone unveiled Tangerine
Tango as 2012’s color of the
year. We love Sherwin William’s Daredevil. Try it with
marine blue Naval and a cool
neutral like Colonnade Gray.

LUMINOUS
Companies like Circa Lighting have created beautiful
outdoor fixtures that match
the attention to detail of their
interior counterparts.

Winter 2012
In 2012 outdoor spaces
become an extension of interior rooms. Large or small, they
are being outfitted as luxuriously as the rest of the home.

ECO-FRIENDLY
Tread lightly with Earth
friendly tile like this one from
Ann Sacks’ Koi collection,
made from recycled content
including salvaged clay from
mining waste.

HEAT SPELL
Fast, safe and beautiful,
induction cooktops are the
latest innovation in kitchen
technology.
SIMPLICITY
Simplicity rules in kitchen
design. Clean lines, integrated
appliances and quiet countertops leave room for the many
functions today’s kitchens
must perform.

PATTERN PLAY
More of an art than a
science, patterns differing in
color, size, scale and style can
all be used together as long as
a single element unites them,
like this antique rug.
WALLPAPER
Last year saw a resurgence of
wallpaper and in 2012 it is
here to stay. Strong graphics
dominate. This giant poppy
print from Osborne & Little
makes a great statement.
