Photo: York Wallcoverings Black and floral don t sound like to two design trends that would go hand-inhand. Yet, I find myself strangely drawn to both the color palette and modern masculinity of black (and near-black) florals, a trend we ve been seeing more and more of lately. We ve rounded up some examples of the trend towards tough florals, and we dare you not to fall in deep, dark love: Forget black velvet; we re craving black florals!

Chicago s Smart Home, Redesigned Apartment Therapy April 22, 2010 Readership 2,500,000 Bath Wallpaper: by York Wallcoverings, includes real dried magnolia leaves House Tour Two years ago, we went and photographed a house tour of the just-about-to open Smart Home at the Museum of Science & Industry on a gray, rainy morning. We made another visit there this week and it couldn t have been more different weather wise - it was bright, sunny and the first breath of spring seemed to be in the air. Things inside the home have changed radically as well - it s got a whole new interior design, put together by Midwest Living. Carol Schalla, Senior Home & Projects Editor for Midwest Living designed the new interiors and the Smart Home s 2010 style is quiet, soft, light and green in materials and motifs. The colors are warm whites and beiges with plenty of dark brown to ground them. Natural textures abound, from wooly thick pile rugs to pillows in varying textural styles, from soft knits and fuzzy fur to spiky twisted felt and strips of raffia. Wood is celebrated throughout the interior design, in the furnishings as well as decorative pieces such as the twig chandeliers and a driftwood candelabra. Several pieces were designed especially for the Smart Home from reclaimed wood which was rescued after a very old bur oak tree located on the museum grounds fell during a storm last year. The side table stumps, dining table and headboard all use wood from this tree, which we found to be very much in keeping with the ideals and aesthetics of the Smart Home design.

$100 Half-Day Designs: Wallpapered Backsplash Freshen up the kitchen with a creative backsplash made from patterned wallpaper. HGTV Half-Day Webisodes 2009 Viewership: 230,000 Wallpaper Backsplash with Candice Olson Linework Floral Materials and Tools: screwdriver sponge squeegee tape measure paintbrush wallpaper wallpaper paste box cutter varnish Steps: 1. Begin by clearing off all small appliances, removing electrical outlet plates and cleaning the wall to get rid of any grease or grime. 2. Measure out the backsplash. Be sure to over measure so that when the wallpaper is applied, the edges can be trimmed for a perfect fit. 3. Lay wallpaper design-side down on a flat surface and apply an even coat of wallpaper paste. 4. After the paste is on, bookend the wallpaper (fold it over back-to-back) and let it sit for five minutes. This allows the paste to get tacky so it ll stick to the wall easier. 5. Place the wallpaper on the wall, using a squeegee. Start from the center and pull outwards, so any excess glue can come out and there will be no lumps. 6. After the wallpaper is up, trim the excess for a perfect fit. 7. Finally, waterproof the wallpaper by applying a varnish to protect it from grease and grime.

The area does tend to love traditional, but also, because people do travel and watch design television, clients are much more savvy now then they were 20 years ago.
