Interior Design Trends 2012-2013
Thursday, January 12th, 2012
Last Week at the Metropolitan Builder’s Association Expo, I revealed the latest and greatest for 2012- 2103 interior design trends.
1. Man Cave moves from the basement and dominates the entire home.We’re seeing a James Bond sophistication with plenty of menswear inspired fabrics and accessories. The spaces are filled with over-scaled, comfortable furniture upholstered in English styled, cigar leathers.
Man Cave Trend
2. Personalization of a homeowner’s own style is seen in natural curiosities (found objects like bones, animal skins, drift woods), monograms and chalkboard paint. These elements allow a space to reflect the personality, history and daily experiences of its homeowner.
3.
Personalization
Indoor Outdoor continues to thrive. Front yard,edible and roof top gardens are popping up all over urbanity. The line between indoor and outdoor continues to blur with live wall planters and interior planters that occupy entire rooms.
Indoor Outdoor Trend
4. Nostalgia via old time transportation(railway, air and ocean liner) reigns supreme in today’s interior. As times have been tough for the last few years, people recall “the good ole days”, when American industry was at it’s zenith.
Nostalgia Trend
5. Jewelry expressed in precious metals (gold, silver), gemstones and jewel tones are being used on every space imaginable from fabric to furniture to accessories to wall cover to murals. This trend is the glamorous Yin to the Man Cave’s Yang.
Jewelry Trend

Barclay’s Brand New Bag
Monday, January 31st, 2011
Last week Barclay Butera joined design’s uber-elite when he opened his new showroom in the La Cienega Design Quarter- the Champs Elysees of Los Angeles Design. There were swinging tunes, cocktails and canapés as Butera played host to a bevy of A-listers who turned out to view and celebrate the grand opening of his second Los Angeles location.
The atelier concept is a new one for La Cienega showrooms, as Barclay is more interested in bringing in his existing clients for a little “shop time” and is a bit less concerned with retail sales. (I’m not saying you can’t purchase his scrumptious furnishings at the shop, you can. It’s just an amuse bouche, instead of a smorgasbord.)
“Often times with celebrities and moguls there is a demand for the utmost discretion and privacy. These clients will now enjoy a very on-brand setting to meet and review projects. We will have our material at our fingertips, access to internet, samplings of furniture all handy. It’s the quintessential arrangement for both designer and client” said Butera.
With appointments already booked and a staff of capable, design assistants to cater to one’s every need, Barclay is sure to have yet another grandslam.
