The rise in downscale living within the urban and suburban living spaces continues as socioeconomic and environmental factors such as rising energy cost, soaring rents and space scarcity persist.

Ideally practical and beneficial for all age groups, this lifestyle is mostly popular among Gen Z and Millennials, mainly individuals who have recently entered the workforce and Boomers, who are ready to downsize from their single-family homes. In this edition, I wanted to show some of our latest and ongoing collections that are suitable for apartment/condo living, without compromising on style or overspending your customers' budget.

In anticipation of the upcoming Summer Market in Las Vegas, we are excited to present the latest collection as a creative balance of lush, vibrant hues with playful patterns, to cool tech tones for the luxe traditionalists and the small-space modern dwellers.

Winter Las Vegas Market is shaping up for another exciting year in home furnishings' styles, colors and products. Based on the latest First Look outlook for 2018, we are in for a year of passionate Romantics & Realists style perspective; suggesting a fusion of the practical and impractical imaginations for a compelling representation in home fashion.

Here's a sneak peek of our upcoming collections highlighting Las Vegas Market style guidance:

As the leaves turn from their perennial verdant hue to intense burnt caramel and florid tones, Autumn transforms into one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. It's also that time of the year bringing eventful gatherings around the dinner table with your favorite people!
