Trendspotting in Dallas: Elevated whimsy

Home Accents Today trend advisor Madeline Stewart of Mustard Seed Home reported back on one of the trends she spotted while shopping the Dallas Total Home & Gift Show last month: elevated whimsy.

“We love woodland animals and eccentric décor so to see them across Dallas was so fun,” she said. “Elevated whimsy takes these creatures and patterns and gives them a more formal approach across textiles, wall art and candles.”
