A Crush on Blush

It all started with the nude shoe in fashion, and now blush is quickly becoming the "new neutral." From accents in the home to embellished dresses, this color exudes a touch of femininity, tenderness, and luxury. Now old Hollywood glamor meets the modern day in this beautiful color. SWI Vintage would like to introduce a few of our latest furniture pieces that have been lacquered in blush and finished with lovely gilt detailing on hardware and around the quatrefoil edging. We love the soft, romantic lines that these pieces exude and bring to a room.

Seeing Red

Red has always been a super hot color, from red wine to the red carpet this color always makes its mark. It is a classic, bold, attention-grabbing color that is super hot in both fashion and in interiors. Bring home design and fashion together with touches of red in all different shades. We love the look of adding one big statement piece in red to give a room a pop of unexpected color.

Late Summer Trend Alert-Indigo Accents

Indigo is a deep, rich, bold and elegant color. What else can we say, we love it! It adds instant drama to any outfit, room, or piece of furniture. Ingido ikat print and chambray are some of the most popular looks right now, and this color is perfect for transitioning between summer and fall (not that we are ready for that yet!) Here are some shots of indigo that inspired us.
