Home & Garden Blog

No need to outsource the designs for your home: Remodelista.com is a blog that helps you be the interior designer and decorator for your own home! Self-described as the “sourcebook for the Considered Home”, Remodelista.com is hear to bring you the latest insider scoop on modeling, design and color coordination.

Top style trend for this week: the Color Yellow. Described as “modern yellow”, the color is used in only one accent item to bring a punch to an otherwise stark room, bringing a great contrast. It reminds me of a bright yellow jacket I own, which I only wear on the dreariest of days to bring that punch of much-needed sunlight.

Here’s how you can get your own “Modern Yellow” accent:

Contemporary Curve Yellow Desk Lamp: $34.91

Yellow Livestrong Medium Teapot: $18.00

Yellow and Orange Spotted Vase: $33

Colors with punch are the trend of the moment everywhere from fashion to home decor.  With its unexpected mix of bright pink, sea green, and marigold, this Dale Tiffany Bon Fire Vase fits right in with the craze.  Something like this, flower-filled or not, can breathe new life into a neutrally hued room. It would look fantastic as an accent to white furniture.

Urbana Design Teardrop Vases, $60-230

What is it with me and vases? I’m not sure, but I know I love these Urbana Design creations available through Design Public. The teardrop shape, wooden finish, and colorful interior resin are so modernly delicious, I can’t contain myself.

And the best thing about the Urbana Design line is that you can mix and match the exterior wood you want with the inside color of your choice. The 6 wood finishes range from white oak to black ebony, and resin options include bright red, blue, white and yellow (as seen above). Prices are based on size.

Handcrafted Shell Vase Set, Old Price= 98.00 New Price=38.99

These would look great on a nightstand, bookcase or even a bathroom. Made in a Peruvian family workshop, the vases are completely handcrafted and fired in a kiln. They’re recommended for dried flowers and probably won’t hold up to water.
