A design style we love, especially here in South Florida, is the tropical or coastal aesthetic. Pulling influence from our surroundings and decorating with natural materials like rattan and bamboo and using cool tone color palettes. These materials and colors are timeless and never fail to make a space feel bright and as if you’re residing along the seaside, even if you’re miles away from the ocean. We have a fabulous curated collection of coastal inspired furniture and decor that will enhance your abode and make your tropical escape come to life.

Happy New Year from the team at Patrick Day Home Gallery! To kick off the start of the year, we want to talk about interior design trends that we’re looking forward to in 2024. Three of these trends which made appearances in the later half of 2023 and seem to be trickling into 2024 as well as some more detailed elements that are gaining popularity in the design realm. Let’s dive in!
With Winter upon us most people lean into the cozy season and like to make their home extra warm and inviting for their friends and families. It’s a great time to start collecting a few new design elements that will bring that lived-in warmth to your space. Today we’re going to highlight some of our favorite pieces in the textures and colors that we think bring immense warmth into a room and some styling tips to make it all come together.
Dark wood furniture is making a comeback! Rich walnut, ash and chestnut with unique grains bring about a luxury feel in a timeless fashion. These darker woods can also be beautifully integrated with your existing lighter furniture making them easily transitional. For example, many people bring these dark wood furniture treasures from up north with them when they move to Florida. Keep those gorgeous pieces and include them into your new home design. You can’t go wrong with timeless and transitional furniture as they work for all different types of settings and seasons. Today on the blog we’re sharing a few dark wood furniture favorites in our showroom and how transitional styling can be achieved.
Summer is upon us and we love a home refresh with the change of seasons. When we think of Summer we think of organic materials, natural textures and earthy elements. Think furniture and decorative accents highlighting cane, grasscloth, rattan, linen and other natural materials. Incorporating these details into your interiors can be subtle with pops here and there or it can be the concept behind your entire aesthetic.
THE BENEFIT OF USING HANDCRAFTED ITEMS IN YOUR LIVING SPACE There’s a reason handcrafted items, like unique pottery and wooden bowls, are so popular today in home décor. Not only is each piece one-of-a-kind and will never be identically duplicated, but by purchasing these items you’re supporting skilled artisans from all around the world. In Portugal, Italy, Mexico, Florida and beyond, these handcrafted items create jobs and support an artist’s livelihood.

These pieces are not only attractive in a modern setting, but they also become a conversation piece, and make a contemporary space feel a little less cold.

BLENDING MODERN & TRADITIONAL DECOR
Furnishing your escape is about developing your own personal style. But how do you blend what you have with what you need? If you move often, each home presents new challenges and the prior furniture does not always fit into your new house. Being constantly challenged to find new pieces that blend with your favorite pieces can be dauntless. Therein lies the rub. There are two dilemmas: the first being inherited traditional pieces we love and can’t give up, the second being what the room needs or is required for us to function. With this dilemma, we need to create a relationship between old favorites and new purchases. In essence, we are blending the two styles.
CHARACTERISTICS OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
Contemporary furniture refers to the styles and trends of the present -- the now -- as opposed to traditional furniture designs that have classic appeal or other design styles through the ages. Often confused with modern furniture styles, there is a distinct difference between modern and contemporary furniture styles, although they do share some similar characteristics.
ROOMS WITH ROCKSTAR STATUSThe hard work of interior design is in the details. Some details we can live without and others transcend to rockstar status.
