The thing about home trends is that they’re, well, trends. They don’t last forever, but they can require even more of an investment than, say, clothes (arguably). That’s why it’s critical to find a home design place you can rely on, one that keeps you up to the minute, but with pieces that outlast the fad on their own merits.
Right now, it’s all about primary colors: Bold blues, bright yellows, and tomato reds are brightening up homes for the moment. So if you like primary colors, but don’t want to invest in a major or permanent overhaul, we’ve gathered our favorite picks from top NoVA shops according to color. Here’s how to bring the trend into your home while leaving you plenty of flexibility in the future.
