Trend Spotlight: Act Local (Part Two)

While you’re thinking globally, why not dress up that modern but stark and bare couch with some accents from local merchants? Buying goods locally – anything from throw pillows to standing vases – can help boost your local economy as well as give you a unique interior look that you’ll likely not find elsewhere. With the over-saturation of the furniture market – those stores that sell copy after copy of the same over stuffed couch, available in your choice of three colors – it’s nice to go on a hunt for some unique, hand-crafted accents, or full pieces themselves, to prevent your home from becoming a replica of this month’s glossy interior design magazine centerfold.
