Eye On Design
Arabian Nights and Windswept Days.



Depending on your age and occupation, your may say “Aah, September” with a sigh of relief or a more dreaded, “Ugh, September.” Either way, September brings about reorganization, renewal and a feeling of new beginnings. People begin to say goodbye to the careless ways of summer and look towards a more practical way of life whether in terms of work, school or home. We have highlighted a couple of modern design and decorating trends that have been brewing all summer and are opportune to make their way into home interiors this Fall.

East meets west. Designs from India, Turkey, and Morroco have taken over the tony shops of Easthampton and other hot spots with a flourish. We are seeing Turkish and Morrocan styled pillows and accessories in bright colors with fringe and beads galore. Decorative Indian pillows shown here are from Ankasa and from Auto. There are many fabulous poufs and lighting alternatives such as votives and hurricane lamps at Graham and Green.

Feathers have found their way to home design after adorning the fashion runways. The unique feathered chandelier comes in sconces as well and can be found at Niba Home.

As environmentally-conscious design moves from a mere awareness to a reality, people have begun to look towards nature for inspiration in their homes. These weathered driftwood designs are from the U.K., and can be found in many sizes and shapes through Devon Driftwood Designs. A bolder take on the driftwood theme can be seen in Ecco Trading's driftwood table.

Hopefully, you're able to embrace the transition into Fall, and capture some of these seductive new trends in your surroundings.
