While the two famous groundhogs, Punxsutawney Phil and Gen. Beauregard Lee may be divided on when spring will arrive, one thing is certain…before long
temperatures will rise, the trees will bud and blossom and cars will be coated with thick yellow pollen. Welcome to spring in Georgia!
At Suwanee Magazine we want area residents to be ready for the new season, so we reached out to our friends at Parsons Gifts and Cards to see what trends they expect this season. Here is what they had to say…
The Pantone color of the year, emerald green, is showing up in everything from jewelry to fashion, and also in home decor in small doses including shades of teal and turquoise blues and in accessory items like pottery, lamps, frames and pitchers.
Graphic patterns such as geometrics and chevron patterns continue to be important and can be found on frames, pillows, and table accessories. Adding just a touch can provide a quick update to any room or outfit.
Think birds, owls, bunnies, frogs, etc. Nature inspired themes will be a trend, so don’t be afraid to bring the outdoors inside.
And in keeping with the nature inspired…Natural brown tones with shades of white and natural materials are also things to look for this spring. Think painted, vintage-looking furniture and
accessories, pottery and other natural looks like burlap that give a great fresh look and a new spin on vintage.
And speaking of vintage and love of the past – think shabby-chic used with repurposed or recycled materials. For example: frames made with reclaimed wood.
Have fun with graphic signage with bold text and handcrafted items that include meaningful messages.
Both add a personal statement and can be mixed with all decorating styles.
Made in the USA is becoming more important to shoppers, especially items made locally. For example – Habersham scented wax pottery bowls made in North Georgia are always in style!
