Whether it\u2019s fashion or interior design, Charleston tends to have it\u2019s own take on national and international trends. Here are a few Winter design trends that will be right at home in Lowcountry d\u00e9cor this season:<\/p>\n

Rose Gold, Gold Leaf and Brass<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MDI-51\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did Apple start this trend with the new rose gold iPhone or were they early adopters of this trend? Like everyone else, we love it. The color is feminine while the metal is masculine. It\u2019s the perfect balance, a refreshing change, and very modern. Gold leaf gets a big thumbs up, too. \u201cIt adds shine and interest to Charleston\u2019s cool, neutral palates,\u201d Margaret says. While brass certainly has a place in traditional accents and lighting, too much brass can feel nautical \u2013 a trend Charleston is leaving behind.<\/p>\n

Organic Shapes, Fibers and Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years Lowcountry style has been ahead of this international trend. \u201cThe ocean, the marsh and the pine forests are such an inspiring part of daily life in the Lowcountry. We\u2019ve always loved botanicals, natural fibers and nature-inspired art,\u201d Margaret says. \u201cThis may be a trend in the rest of the country, but it\u2019s an anchor for Charleston style.\u201d<\/p>\n

Natural Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charleston\u2019s talented craftspeople are gaining recognition for their creations made from salvaged wood from historic homes. \u201cCharlestonians are used to seeing salvaged wood furniture in local restaurants and shops, and many have already incorporated pieces into their own homes,\u201d Margaret says. It\u2019s a wonderful trend that adds character and warmth to a room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gray and Indigo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MDI.Fall2013-81\"<\/p>\n

This is an international trend that works so well in Charleston homes. Gray in particular is a cool neutral that is a fantastic backdrop for everything from industrial blacks to feminine pinks. Gray tones have roots in Charleston\u2019s history \u2013 and this color will stick around for a long time. \u201cThe international design community is also embracing midnight blue, but in Charleston we interpret it as Indigo because of the wonderful historical connection,\u201d Margaret says.<\/p>\n

Vintage Travel and Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MDI.Fall2013-43\"<\/p>\n

Old maps, globes, vintage light fixtures, suitcases, Victorian travel memorabilia and insect specimens preserved under glass have been sneaking into d\u00e9cor for a couple of years. We say yes to old (or reproduction) Charleston maps and vintage or industrial fixtures as accents. We love the insect trend too, believe it or not, maybe because Charleston\u2019s own Mini (Mariana) Hay of Crogan\u2019s Jewel Box is resurrecting the old Victorian trend with such graceful Charleston flair<\/a>.<\/p>\n
