A couple of years ago, brass made a big comeback, now it's copper's turn to shine.
Lately, we're seeing the warmth of copper taking center stage as a new trend in home furnishings. From light fixtures, side tables and accessories, to backsplashes, flooring, and door pulls, we're happy to report, this time around copper is on a whole new playing field. It's offering plenty of kick and sass, beyond charming copper pots hanging in a rustic Country French kitchen.

Copper Lotus Hurricane & Sawyer Table Lamp


Warm and cozy comes to mind, but pair copper with white, ink, moss, olive green or gray-taupe and you've got instant style any time of the year! Imagine copper with this moss green velvet sofa, gorgeous!

Tonic Home is crazy for this new fabric by Highland Court. The Marakesh Collection is offered in wonderful, lively colorways: tangerine, magenta, aquamarine, walnut and our favorite cobalt.
This faux croc with an ever so slight shimmer is stunning and would look fantastic on an ottoman or small chair.

Tangerine is cute for a girl's bedroom or sun room.



Go for a rich look with cobalt, just add some beautiful blue & white porcelain temple jars, and you've got a stunning room!






Highland Court fabric ranges from $50-$100 a yard. Contact sales@tonichome.com for details. Blue & White Porcelain Jars available at www.tonichome.com
We're crazy for "Croc." From table lamps and rugs, to picture frames and handbags, the stamped leather look is hot this season. Our top pick? Bungalow 5's new Cayman Table Lamp, which is made of textured porcelain in a chocolate finish. We love the matching brown trimmed silk shade. $445

Arteriors introduces its unusually shaped Digby "Croc" Lamp, also made of textured porcelain, but this one features a black finish. $380
A wool and silk rug in chocolate and cream features an over-sized faux croc motif, $860 for 5"x8"
Espresso faux crocodile leather frames by Oly Studio. $65-$95
And who could resist a faux gator bag! The Scarlett handbag by Oly is $495

We're back from New York Market, and can't wait to share some fresh, new finds in home fashion...like the Bubbles Mirror from Oly Studio (Above: $1750).
The Julian linen sofa from Bobo Intriguing Objects is made of 100% recycled materials and upholstered in soft and luxurious eco friendly Belgian linen. (Below: $5,500). It's super comfy, too!!
Pair it with "Bull," an oil painting on canvas, also from Bobo, or "Magnolia," a series of 3 panels, brand new from Longstreet Collection.
Bungalow 5's Lara Tea Table in smoke mirror is stunning in person; also available as a side table. Very glamorous.
A gray bone chest ($2,275), with an acid washed metallic cowhide ($695) adds real pizazz!
This reasonably priced horse art is great for a study or child's room. ($450 per)
And "Just Net," is a cool, rustic, low key ceiling light that's priced right at $325. Contact sales@tonichome.com for details on all items listed above.
