Splash That Wine Everywhere. And by wine we mean wine-colored! The rich magenta undertones of a deep red wine are destined for far more than a pour or two. Wine colored décor is all the rage this time of year from fall wreaths to throw pillows. Because we have wives and daughters and we are well-acquainted with copious amounts of pink… we also love the two-tone look of this velvet lounge chair, incorporating a wine-colored bean bag and pink pillow. Check out HGTV’s full gallery of vino-inspired décor HERE!

Think black tie kitchen. Did you know that tuxedo kitchens can not only add modern appeal but also make a space look bigger?! Traditionally marked by white upper and black lower cabinets, a tuxedo kitchen can be any contrasting blend of black and white: floor tiles and backsplash, stools and countertops, rugs and dish towels, an accent wall or two, you get the idea. Go even bolder with a navy and white look (think modified tuxedo!). We also love the idea shown here of incorporating natural elements such as bamboo, brown leather and rustic seating. Explore many ways to have a kitchen that is black and white and admired all over in this HGTV photo spread.

Delight in warm winter wonders. We may not know what cold is here in California – but that does not mean we can’t do cozy! Actualize the true comforts of home with thick, soft and textured fabrics in every room of the house. Since we use gray often in our staging color palettes, this cotton cable knit throw in dove gray caught our attention. The diamond pattern is an added contemporary bonus. Get a feel for all things soft and simply stunning in this showcase of one dozen design delights for winetr from HGTV.
