I was instantly taken by its bright, citrus-green front door. It made such an upbeat statement in a traditional neighbourhood, where most doors are fail-safe black or forest green. The unexpected use of colour told me I was in for a treat. As I stepped inside, I nearly had a heart attack it was so amazing! I should have known the house was going to be special, considering it belongs to fashion trailblazer Victoria Webster. As soon as I left, I called the office to tell them how great it was, ultimately planning to put it on the cover of the Trends issue youre holding now. What I love about this house (page 64) is its rebellious London townhouse feel and daring use of vibrant colour so unusual in a gracious, classic space. Where most people would turn to off-white paint and chintz wallpapers, Victoria chose black and orange lacquered walls. And of course the house showcases a number of this years key trends, like upholstered walls, wallpapered ceilings, velvet upholstery and a statement-making freestanding tub all of it coming together to create something entirely unique. For me, this is ultimately what embracing trends is all about: breathing fresh energy into our homes and looking beyond the predictable to create a brand new look.For most people, though, working with trends is an evolution, not a revolution. We feel far more comfortable adding a few new elements here and there, rather than blazing new trails and totally transforming our homes. To make it easier to pick and choose what works for you, weve highlighted this years key trends in each of our feature homes and in our trends feature (page 74). I hope theyll get you excited about decorating in 2010, and, like Victoria, bring a sense of exuberance and personality to your home. Maybe youll even set a few trends of your own along the way theres no better time than now to start fresh.

The featured homes were bursting with personality and individual style, and showcased unique pieces gathered over time by the owners. It was also refreshing to see some new designers and retailers. CHANIA ALLEN Oakville, Ont. I used Lucy Wavermans simple recipe for standing rib roast (Entertaining, November) the first time I had followed a recipe for a rib roast, since I serve it quite infrequently. Lucys recipe helped me turn my roast (which I spent a fortune on!) into a succulent, beautiful and perfect dish. LYNDA T. WALKER OttawaAfter reading the November issue, Im not sure exactly what I should be celebrating. If this was the Holiday issue, I think it missed the mark! I know we all need to pare down and economize, but does that mean we relinquish colour, glitz and a little holiday glamour? I hope not!

The exhibition brings together almost 100 of his pictures shot between 1937 and 2007.

REVIVE A MIRROR WITH PAINTThis baroque showstopper was a family hand-me-down. I loved its flamboyant shape, but the original gold frame was a little too Liberace. Repainting the mirror black gave it a modern feel, but I preserved its old world charm by applying only one coat, so flecks of gold showed through, giving an aged patina.2. HANG PLATES AS ART I was going for trad with a twist, so when I spotted these $7 blue and white plates in Chinatown, I immediately decided to hang them on the wall for a little added colour. This diamond pattern works with the mirrors curviness, but many different configurations are possible. Map out a scheme on the floor first to find a layout you love. 3. DECORATE BOXES WITH RIBBON Cheerful red boxes from Ikea keep hats, mitts and mail hidden but handy. Trimming them with pretty ribbon kept them from looking too plain amongst all the other patterns. Attach the ribbon with a glue gun about 2" to 2-" below the lip of the lid. For added character, flesh out the vignette with a few personal pieces.Change lampshades for a fresh lookWhile youre in town...STAY: The historic Omni William Penn Hotel, omnihotels.com.

My rule of thumb is simple. If you have to redecorate a room to accommodate a trend, you should think again. Seek out trends that you can easily inject for maximum effect. For me, a good fad was the ebony hardwood floors that I first saw in a magazine. I stained my mid-brown floors espresso and have never looked back. Nothing else in the room had to change, but those floors transformed my ho-hum living room into high drama. Eventually, the fad became a huge trend and now its settled into a classic choice that I personally will not tire of.As much as I want my rooms to look fresh and current, I am so relieved that I didnt indulge in at least one of last years hottest trends. The whole glamour fashion look, with its overscaled damask patterned wallpaper and fabrics, glossy black furniture, low-hanging crystal chandeliers and animal print rugs was, at first glance, fun and frisky. But for me, it soon wore thin. Im seeing it in the lobbies of new condo buildings and hip hotel rooms. To me it feels too trendy and contrived to age well.I feel the same way about the reappearance of shiny, white kitchens, and the return of polished black granite that is creeping back into counters, floors and furniture. These materials seem to be Lynda Reeves explains how to tame a trend so it doesnt tame you.Cautionary TalesI snapped this photo wall in the Monica Rich Kosann boutique at Bergdorf Goodmans to inspire.Pick up the new Restoration Hardware catalogue to see their Euro country style.This statement chair upholstered in dark claret velvet caught my eye on the floor of ABC Carpet & Home.Spot the trends that endured in this great new book, at Indigo.On closer inspection, black pushpins held up unframed photography.The Color Reform rugs at ABC Carpet have dazzling jewel tones.

I dont sand between coats because I apply the paint in thin layers, says H&H style editor Michael Penney, adding that thin means he can see the primer showing through after the first coat. Applying paint too thickly can cause it to glob or chip off. Supply an upholsterer with 1 yard velvet ($15) and request nailhead trim ($75 total for upholstery and tacks).

Low-maintenance and made from recycled materials, this hip roof is also easy on utility bills.

Waterless versions, like the Steward S model, save thousands of litres of water per year.Concrete IdeaFrom floors and countertops to bathtubs, concrete is becoming the go-to material for interior applications for its natural insulation properties. The texture and pitting adds a raw industrial edge. Hot StuffSince Dr. Oz introduced viewers to the benefits of infrared saunas, the popularity of these sleek stalls has risen faster than the temperature inside. Saunacore sauna, Bona Vista LeisureScapes.A few months ago, I was meandering through New Yorks Flatiron district, a happening part of town with lots of condo construction, new restaurants and hip design stores. Strolling along Broadway near Fifth Avenue, I spotted the familiar Restoration Hardware. I walked in and ... wanted to buy everything. No more faux Mission-style furniture. No sign of English country cute. Instead, the retailer had opted for patina in place of perfection, using reclaimed wood, nicely worn leather and rough galvanized metal in many of their pieces. The store was now called a gallery to emphasize the products uniqueness, and the catalogue showed European artisans next to items theyd created for the chain. Then I realized its a bit odd to see what Ive always believed was my unique sensibility available in 99 Restoration Hardware locations across North America.

Saunacore sauna, Bona Vista LeisureScapes.A few months ago, I was meandering through New Yorks Flatiron district, a happening part of town with lots of condo construction, new restaurants and hip design stores. Strolling along Broadway near Fifth Avenue, I spotted the familiar Restoration Hardware. I walked in and ... wanted to buy everything. No more faux Mission-style furniture. No sign of English country cute. Instead, the retailer had opted for patina in place of perfection, using reclaimed wood, nicely worn leather and rough galvanized metal in many of their pieces. The store was now called a gallery to emphasize the products uniqueness, and the catalogue showed European artisans next to items theyd created for the chain. Then I realized its a bit odd to see what Ive always believed was my unique sensibility available in 99 Restoration Hardware locations across North America.

At Umbra, where he started out as an intern eight years ago, during his second year in Humber Colleges industrial design program, Matt has created such renowned designs as the Biblioteca bookshelves (featured in the couples dining room), inspired by two coffee tables he purchased at Goodwill, and the Teatime clock, which incorporates reclaimed vintage teacups.

Colour is one of those shifts. Interesting new treatments in stronger shades are cropping up in fashionable rooms.These colours are so compelling I think they would prompt even the most reluctant of us to leave our neutral rooms behind. Im calling them vintage hues because they remind me of the colours of old silk velvet dresses: deep plum, emerald green, smoked paprika and sapphire blue.You can see the effect in the new old rugs that have been dipped in rich dyes. I first saw these rugs at ABC Carpet in NYC. The store calls this new line Color Reform. These are Turkish and Indian rugs that have been transformed using the deep, intense dyes in root vegetable hues. The effect is rich, but still fun. Just the kind of thing that could bring a big hit of colour into your living room. I came back to Toronto and headed to Elte for a chat with owner Ken Metrick. He knew exactly what I was talking about, including the young man who finds these rugs and transforms them with dye for resale. Theyre on the way, he said. So, look for them at Elte in Toronto.Deep burgundy, purple and claret are new trend colours this season, but I could not imagine how I would bring such hues into my rooms. And then in the Monica Rich Kosann Boutique at Bergdorfs, I saw a wonderful wall of simple black and white photography that was dramatic and modern. The photographs were unframed, tacked up with black pushpins on a wall painted a very deep claret. It showed the great effect that a dark background creates. Im inspired to gather a collection of black and white photographs and sketches and take the plunge: paint one wall in Ravished (P5141-85) by Para.Have you seen the new Restoration Hardware catalogue that launched this past fall? Its a great take on Flamant style that was featured in this column early last year. Lots of pale limed oak furniture, natural linen fabrics and country accessories. Its a good look, but if you want to add colour and still keep the Euro country feel, try using the new faded linens in soft dusky purple, teal blue and mustard yellow. I saw a sofa loosely slipcovered in mauve linen. It was droopy on purpose and also had that new vintage feel. For accent chairs Im thinking dark, rich, cotton velvet in deep burgundy on carved wood frames with a distressed gold finish. Classic bergere chairs with an oval back would look perfect. Often you can find one interesting chair on sale in a discount room or at a flea market or auction. Learn to spot a great frame at a bargain price and then have it reupholstered in special fabric to create a statement chair that can sit anywhere in your house. I cant get enough of them.I find it impossible to get excited about a new trend unless I can actually see it working with what I already have. For me, a familiar chair reworked with some added edge is the perfect way to get the zing into a traditional room. Pick up a copy of the new book Style and Substance: The Best of Elle Decor to see a collection of inspiring ways to update conventional rooms with colour and fabric. Youll see how well rooms with classic elements hold their own against modern. This terrific book is packed with ideas. Sometimes it just takes a little twist to make something old feel new again.

In a crowd of prim little black dresses, shes not afraid to rock a bright yellow frock. And in Toronto, where safe neutrals reign, she wanted rooms that boldly mix colour and pattern. But, during her homes 18-month makeover, everyone from her husband to the designers she hired to help execute her vision thought she was crazy.Even from the outside, the Victorian she shares with her husband, Gabe Gonda, a Toronto Star editor, and their sons, Charlie, 3, and Isaac, 18 months, stands out from neighbouring residences thanks to an eye-popping kelly green door. Its message is clear: glamour takes guts. But theres more at work here than just fearlessness. Victoria took inspiration from different eras to create a highly decorated backdrop for her contemporary art collection the bright colours and eclectic furniture nods to early-20th-century decorator Dorothy Draper and current style-setter Kelly Wearstlers revival of Hollywood Regency. Yet the house transcends faddishness by striking an overall sense of balance. Strip away the sky-blue and poppy-red upholstery, and the furniture is solidly classic. Its the orange lacquered walls, pattern-on-pattern-on-pattern rooms, woolly bronze sheep stools and decorative wallpapered ceilings that show off her singular sensibility.
