The reason why everyone is drawn to the pieces of Restoration Hardware is just that of the name of the company, restored pieces that look vintage, worn/used, including upholstery textiles, metals, and wood.
    
    A lot of the pieces on Restoration Hardware can be achieved by just keeping your eye open for deals at local decor stores, vintage shops, second-hand stores, or even the side of the road. Palette tables with large industrial metal wheels, oversized sofas with tufted backs, buttons, and castor feet, metal lighting solutions and antiqued pieces for an antique cost. 

    Pottery barn has a lot of similar pieces but are less expensive. There are tons of boutiques in small towns that have wonderful pieces that are not as expensive as well. Even greating your own pieces will save you a lot of money. Mentioned earlier, palettes are a big deal right now and by sanding them down smooth and staining/painting/or using a clear coat on them will give them a durable finish that can be used on a daily basis as a table (just add wheels), a cool bookshelf or even a unique headboard/bed frame that is on the ground.

    Sand painted surfaces, rub metal surfaces, oil leather to darken it....there are tons of different techniques to create that Restoration Hardware look. Just keep your eyes peeled and you will see those pieces that can be fixed up, save you money, and create that dream home you've always wanted!

 

    It's always nice to make a new space feel like it has been lived in. Helps make it feel warm and inviting, instead of new, stark and clean. By adding textures with colours, fabrics and accessories can help make a space feel more inviting for someone visiting.

    Chevron designs are very popular right now for accessories, and accent walls. It is a great way to pull colours for other accessories and to base your design around. Modern but still traditional with the clean lines and bright colours, the chevron design will stay around for awhile.

    Texture, texture, texture! Not only is this colour fabulous for adding the punch to a room, the fabric and texture within the pillow creates a dynamic feel.

    This type of texture will always stay classy in any type of space be it modern, traditional, country-rustic, coastal etc. That sutle amount of texture plays with your eye and creates the depth you want on your bed, sofa, or chair.

    Paisleys are also very popular, especially if it has many different neutral colours and a pop of another colour. Also, great to base your design around as you can pull numerous of different colours from it that can unify a space.

Here are some nice neutrals that are nice for any updating of spaces or selling your home.
