REFRESH THE HOME WITH COLOR, FABRIC AND NATURAL MATERALS
Robb & Stucky Reports New Trends in Home Decor

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Kris Kolar, vice president of interior design for Robb & Stucky Interiors reports that trends in home décor for 2008 reflect sophisticated and refreshing color palettes, bold patterns in textiles and eco-friendly materials.

Color is an impactful way to freshen a home’s interior. In the past couple of seasons, chocolate has been paired soft blues. A twist on that combination pairs chocolate with mint green in 2008. If this combination is too bold for a homeowner’s taste, Kolar recommends pairing chocolate with latte or caramel to soften the look.

Fabrics are always a predominant design element in a room. Bold geometrics and stylized floral fabrics dominate collections whether upholstering furnishings, incorporating as accent pillows or creating window treatments.

Eco-friendly products are also an influence; furniture collections incorporate earthy, natural products such as rattan, coco shell and bamboo. Trends are moving away from the formal, ornate British Colonial style to a more stylized forms made of “green” products to create a tropical look.

“These are examples of current trends that can easily be incorporated into any design plan,” states Kolar. “In addition, the colors, fabrics and materials complement the relaxed sophistication of Southwest Florida.”

Robb & Stucky Interiors Introduces Paloma
New Lifestyle Collection Reflects Spanish Influence

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Robb & Stucky Interiors, renowned for award-wining interior design and exquisite home furnishings, debuts the latest collection of Robb & Stucky Original Designs. The Paloma Collection is inspired by classic Spanish motifs.

The all-inclusive collection includes more than 20 products for the bedroom, living and dining room. Paloma features bleached woods, hand-rubbed finishes, cast stone, aged leather, iron grillwork, hand-carved and nail head details.

“Paloma presents an elegant look steeped in European tradition and the perfect complement for today’s distinctive homes,” states Kris Kolar, vice president of interior design for Robb & Stucky. The fresh interpretation for this collection comes from the white ash finish. “The lighter finish is a refreshing twist for Tuscan-inspired architecture while maintaining the aesthetics of classic hand-carved European furnishings.”

Developed specifically for this exclusive collection, the unique finish reflects the sense of hundreds of years of wear. “The pieces look as if they were once stained dark and were then stripped and refinished with a lighter finish,” comments Steve McKee, senior vice president and chief merchandising officer for Robb & Stucky.
The Robb & Stucky design team created Paloma in collaboration with distinguished furniture designer Windsor White. White has worked with the nation’s top furniture manufactures including Baker.

The Paloma collection is currently available at Robb & Stucky Interiors and shop.RobbStucky.com.
