The look: Graphic
The colors: gold and silver
The look presented by “Graphic” is sporty and elegant.
This trend plays with geometric patterns in different shades of white and a velvety black. “Tinsel Town” finials from Midwest-CBK, www.mwcbk.com
The look: Authentic
The colors: warm gray, peridot green, petrol blue, sand gray, alabaster and linen white
Cherished pieces and collectables with a patina are characteristic of this natural style. The fusion of old and new creates original recycling chic—simple, uncontrived and individual. Ornaments from Kurt S. Adler, www.kurtadler.com

 

The look: Eccentric
The colors: gold-bronze, olive, wine red, dark-ruby red, deep blue-green
Different cultures, epochs and art movements collide in “Eccentric.” Ornamental decoration, animal skin optics,
as well as materials like velvet, embossed leather, feathers and wooden beads create exciting effects. Accents from Melrose International, www.melroseintl.com

 

The look: Optimistic
The colors: mocha, salmon pink dark red, emerald green, canary yellow and aquamarine
“Optimistic” is a lively theme, which allows plenty of scope for creativity and unconventional ideas. The captivating feature is the use of artificial materials like plastic, foils and rubber coatings combined with artisan techniques.
