Maison et Objet 2014 - Interior Design trade show par excellence!

Maison et Objet 2014 was enormous, informative, overwhelming and amazing!!  Look at the size of this place - and this was only one building of eight!
The predominant impression was Calm & Serene: pale and pastel colors, (quite a bit of greige, taupe and mauve – but not in an ‘80’s way!), natural fibers, animal prints (yes!), and lots of copper.
I did see a bit of saturated, primary color represented..... but.... 

.......notice how the  bright colors of these candles are only about 25% of the color range.  And....
 .....copper was everywhere!
 Vintage-inspired items were also in great supply.

.....Divine!

 Lots of natural fibers....
.....and, of course, the whimsical.....

After seeing what's on the horizon for home interiors, it was time to experience history at the flea market.....Stay tuned!
