Design: The Curved Couch

I enjoyed reading Jacquelyn Clark’s predictions for 2018 design trends a couple of weeks ago. I agree with her point about curved couches. I think we’re going to be seeing more of them in the months ahead. At the Interior Design Show a couple of weeks ago, one of the hot spaces was Avenue Road, which included this gorgeous curved sofa.

The Friday Five: Checkered Floors

I think patterned floors will really stay firmly in place in the world of interior design over the next few years. While some opt for florals and intricate geometric patterns, others prefer a classic black and white check. In kitchens, bathrooms, and foyers, a black and white checkered floor offers drama and interest to an otherwise all-white space. Just look at the five gorgeous spaces below:
