La Montage-Wave: September 2010

Take your Fall Art inspiration from our artists including Elle Design, Sandra Feazel, and Jessica McMurray. We are introducing bold and deep shades of yellow with swirl designs in eggshell and rich browns!

The bird in the center of the piece below is a new branch of thought for designer Melissa McKean of Elle Design. Vintage art centered on detail is another big idea that artists are reaching for this fall, mixing old with new. The bird silhouette is whimsical while the black frame lends a touch of antiquity and tradition.

Top 3 Interior Design Trends for Fall 2010 include:

1. Bold, Bright Colors including beautiful indigo, deep reds, vibrant yellows, charcoal and metallic greys, and dark purples.

2. Retro from No Particular Decade meaning a touch of vintage such as an old mirrored serving tray. In the art world, we're showing vintage-themed pieces with updated embellishments, colors, and designs to give the retro art a current look.

3. Geometric Shapes and Patterns - the use of harlequin design and scroll patterns are found throughout many art pieces we carry at La Montage for Fall. Below is a sample of 3 Wood Panels created by Elle Design for the 2010 Fall Collection. Ice blues, dark mahogany, grey metallics, and rich browns complete the current and transitional look of her art. More of the Elle Design Fall Collection will be featured in our next blog!
