Placing the tv over the fireplace is a design question that comes up almost weekly. Is it safe? Is it ideal for viewing? How does it all work together as the centerpiece for a room?

Steampunk is a trend that involves the interaction of history, art, and technology—sometimes called retro-future. The often avant-garde style can seem so far out there for most of my clients. However, I do believe there are bits and pieces we can incorporate into our homes.

Teen, child, and toddler rooms have been a standard for many years in homes with kids. Now they are a common request from the grandparents as well! At Kathy Corbet Interiors, we specialize in designing playrooms that visually please adults while sparking imagination in children.

We saw lots of human faces on vases at the High Point Market, but animals were losing their heads, too! We expect to see more of these at the next market.

For the next few weeks I’ll be sharing spring market trends with you in a series. My first pick is all about naturals. Grass, Rattan, Caning…if it is natural and you can weave it we saw it!
