SPICE UP YOUR SUMMER STYLE

Along with summer comes vibrant COLOR & PATTERN! All the reason to jazz up your wardrobe with chunky coral, white, & gold bangles.  And, the perfect time to carry a graphic multi-color chevron tote.  We are loving these trends at the marketplace - they are wonderful ideas for
summer fashion!

With the sun beaming bright - try bringing the outdoors inside!  Have you thought of incorporating succulents into your home decor? Succulents are an easy-care & long lasting centerpiece. Plus they bring the freshness of NATURE inside your home.

FINISHING TOUCHES are always key to developing your own personal style. Whether you are hosting a party for friends or going out on the town... choose home accessories & jewelry that add a little twist to your look.  Large scale ikat pillows can add drama to a neutral sofa. And, a multi-strand magenta necklace is a lovely choice for spicing up your SUMMER maxi dress.

Enhance your walls with ARTWORK! Find special pieces in which you love the way the paint is layered onto the canvas. Let the art in your home be one of the elements that pulls your room together! Local artist, Pam Anderson, showcased her primary subject matter, birds, on a
pink, mint, & orange background in this original work.

A TOUCH OF TURQUOISE

You might have guessed that our signature color here at the marketplace is TURQUOISE!  And, we do love seeing it incorporated into vignettes at the store. Adding a touch of turquoise to your home decor is a great way to create a fresh summer look!

COLOR & INSPIRATION are always a wonderful place to start when considering room design.  Various shades of color can be incorporated to create flow through the interior of your home. If you are a fan of TURQUOISE (like us!) then consider bringing in unique accessories to accentuate the color of your choice!

We continue to be amazed by all the wallpaper designs we see at the marketplace. Check out this lovely turquoise, slate & ivory design that was recently showcased here a the store.  Also, consider a BOLD PATTERN to spice up your powder room, entry hall, mudroom, or even your closest walls!

Your home is a place where you can express your own personal style & taste.  There are no rules when it comes to what you LOVE! We have fallen head over heels for these turquoise blown glass lamps paired with traditional french drawer chests.

FRESH IDEAS FOR SPRING!

It is possible to LIVEN UP your home for spring without a complete interior overhaul...
isn't that good news?  Here are some tips to help you add a little punch to your decor!

TIP No. 1 - If you have neutral upholstery pieces (i.e. sofa, loveseat, or chairs) you can swap out your throw pillows during different seasons.  A pair of hip teal & ivory zebra pillows can really add some sassy for the spring months!

TIP No. 2 - Colorful lamps are IN STYLE! Never fear... you will love them in your home!
A teal blown glass lamp is a great addition to any side table.

TIP No. 3 - If you are wanting to create a cheerful atmosphere - choose a bright color palette for your accent pieces! By adding POPS OF COLOR with artwork & accessories your home will feel friendly & fun for your family & guests to enjoy!

TIP No. 4 - Who said adorning your walls is no longer in... have you seen the amazing designs that are adding such a twist to room decor these days? If you have a small foyer & really want to add drama choose a wallpaper that says, "HELLO, WELCOME HOME!" We are loving the over-scale geometric, trellis, & greek key patterns at the marketplace.

2012 Brings Splashes of Color!

Every New Year brings a fresh season & a new beginning. A door opens to reflect, 

to start over, & to look ahead at what is to come. How exciting!

Pantone kick started 2012 when they officially named 

"Tangerine Tango" the Color of the Year.  And, what a lively color is it- kuddos, Pantone! 

Recent additions to Cotswold Marketplace. Loving the punch of color the TANGERINE
 brings to the marketplace!

Why not incorporate "Tangerine Tango"- a color that adds spice & life... to your home? 

Pops of tangerine on your throw pillows will update a neutral sofa instantaneously. Adorning your bookshelves with splashes of tango will help add warmth to a dated design. The spunky color is quickly making its way to the top for interiors decor! Vendors at Cotswold Marketplace have been changing their spaces for the New Year - and, tangerine is one of the colors we see showcased.

The color is a wonderful compliment to slate, cream, and gray.
