Killer Kilim

Organic, handmade textiles, earthy accents and even tepees have found their way back to Canada in the explosion of the nomadic trend.

Ornate patterns and patchwork are popping up everywhere. Layer worldly-inspired fabrics like this antique Oriental rug for that well-traveled look.

This year is all about the romance. Try replacing old hardware on a chest of drawers with these whimsical knobs for that oh-so-essential feminine touch.

Gaga for Graphic

Graphic prints add a cool punch to a neutral space. Look for it in furniture, accessories and even dishes.
