Safari Chic

May 13, 2016 by blackband Filed Under: Accessorize

It’s a jungle out there and we can’t seem to get enough of this trend! From zebra print rugs to cowhide seating, safari inspired decor has been popping up all over the place. The mixture of neutral fabrics and textures (think khaki) serve as the perfect backdrop for a bold statement with animal print. Incorporating elements like natural textures, faux fur, hides, and leather detailing give your space a collected and worldly vibe. To embrace this trend we’ve selected some of our favorite ways to take this look to the next level!

Blackband Goes Wild

Here are some of the ways we’ve added safari chic decor into our own designs!

Animal artwork adds a modern touch to our Newport Heights dining room.

Cheetah print pillows and leather ottomans in our Peninsula Point living room.

Zebra barstools add contrast and interest to our bright white Dover Shores kitchen.

Zebra print stools with reclaimed wood bases from our Newport Westcliff home.

Faux taxidermy gives this bedroom a masculine edge from our Coto De Caza home.

Our favorite trend of all, a zebra print hide layered on top of a natural fiber rug in our Newport Heights home office.

Desk Decor

August 28, 2015 by blackband Filed Under: Accessorize 2 Comments

GET YOUR GREEN THUMB ON: bring life to your desk by keeping plants in your office (real or faux). We suggest starting with a cactus or succulents, both are low maintenance and do well in offices with minimal sunlight.
ACCESSORIZE: work seems so much easier when you’re doing it in style. Shop Bando is one of our favorite places to find agendas and fun desktop accessories. We’ve shared links to our favorite desk decor on the market now | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | (links to products)
ORGANIZE: staying organized can be tricky, especially when you are crazy busy. We find that it’s easier to stay organized when you have the right tools (it doesn’t hurt that they look good either). | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | (links to products)
SPICE UP YOUR SCREENSAVER: If you aren’t already following Design Love Fest, you should be! They keep our computers looking fresh and in season with the best desktop backgrounds. The Free People Blog is another great place to look for them too! We’ve picked 6 of our favorites and linked them here so you can download them for your own use! | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
MAKE A MOODBOARD: This is something we do for clients during the design process, and they’re great to hang by your desk to keep you motivated. Mood Boards help liven up your space with inspiring images and add a nice pop of color. (Moodboards found here and here)

Pastel Accessories for Spring

April 7, 2015 by blackband Filed Under: Accessorize

Spring fever has arrived at Blackband Design, and we have been busy bringing in the latest and greatest must-have furniture, fabrics, and accessories to make your home more beautiful than ever. Swapping out accessories with the seasons is a great way to update your space without breaking the bank. So we decided to pull together some of our favorite pastel accessories for spring!

1. Lighting is a great place to start, these seafoam green chandeliers are guaranteed to make a statement in any room.

2. Decorative boxes are one of our favorite ways to add color and texture to a space, stack them on your coffee table or pop them on a bookshelf.

3. Tabletop accessories are one of the easiest ways to play with color, and often the most affordable. Don’t be afraid to try new things and mix it up.

4. If you don’t want to get crazy, simply switching out your coffee table tray for one with a pop of color can make a big difference.

5. Last but not least, garden stools. We have a thing for garden stools here at Blackband Design and these bright blues do not disappoint! They serve as fantastic multi-taskers and we like to use them as side tables, additional seating, or placed under a console.

To view our newest accessories or get inspired by some of our latest designs, stop by our Orange County showroom- we would love to see you!
