DESIGN TRENDS AT THE NY NOW TRADE SHOW (aka NYIGF)...

As an interior designer, its important to stay abreast of the latest trends in design and decor. One such trade show that allows me to do so is NY Now, previously know as the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF). Drawing 35,000 attendees from all 50 states and 80+ countries, the fair is held in January and August at the Javits Center and Pier 94 in NYC. The fair hosts 2,800 exhibitors showcasing the best in home, lifestyle and gift lines.




Trends in interiors often follow fashion. Color still reigns supreme. To contrast that, I spotted a trend towards black & white - another big fashion trend this season. I also noticed quite a few vendors featured textural elements and metal finishes in their wares. Feathers are a big trend featured in every thing from lighting to accents and accessories to wallpaper.

Having run out of power on my phone twice from taking pictures, here are some of my favorites from my visit to the fair this past week:

Feather Lighting by Grace & Blake
Henri Bookcase by Julian Chicester
Twilight Wallpaper by Tempaper
Quartz Lighting by Kathryn McCoy Designs
Cartier Hearts by Natural Curiosities
Sarea Lighting by MadeGoods
Throne by Camilla House
Antique Cooper Lighting by Jatex
Granata Chair by Mr. Brown for Julian Chicester 
Studded Mirror by Jamie Young

Black & White Resin Table by MadeGoods
Vintage Ice Box Armoire by Barreveld LTD
Nightstand by Chelsea Textiles
Lacquer Dining Table by Roberta Schilling
Feather Mirror and Shelves by Dransfield and Ross 
Cowhide Barstool by Camilla House
Until January, happy trend spotting...

Peace and Blessings,
Tammy

MY DAY AT ICFF - INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE FAIR...

The annual ICFF (aka the International Contemporary Furniture Fair) held at the Javits Center in NYC is now a distant memory. One of my favorite trade shows, this is the premier showcase for the latest trends in unique and contemporary design from around the world. 

I was happy to stop for a photo op with my girl Malene Barnett of Malene B Carpets representing the carpet industry with her amazing designs...
