Trends, are by definition “a general direction in which something is developing or changing.” Like the people who inhabit them homes are a developing, ever-changing canvas.

Terracotta creates a special feeling of warmth and hominess that other mediums do not.

These luscious hues can be used for full wall color or just a pop to take your home to the next level.
