ERIKA STORM-WASSER: Hey guys,
Erika here and I am back at
the New York Design Center.
And I'm here with Maxwell from
the amazing design website,
Apartment Therapy.
And we're here to show you
what's hot, and what's new,
and what's trending.
How are you?
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: Good.
I'm glad to be here.
The cool thing about the design
industry is that it
moves a little bit slower
than fashion.
So the things we're seeing now,
we've been seeing just
for a little bit of
time and they'll
probably last for a while.
So you can rest assured that
if you hear something today
that you like, you can still
think about it six months from
now and it will still
be very on trend.
ERIKA STORM-WASSER:
Let me say it.
Let's go look around.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: So what
we're seeing is eclectic
room sets, so nothing matches.
Here's a dining room with three
totally different chairs.
If I were to give you any one
of these chairs and say, do
you like this chair?
You'd say, maybe not so much.
But when you put it all together
this feels like a fun
little dining room.
There's a difference between a
collection on a shelf that's
pretty and clutter.
And so if you go too
far it won't read.
You also have shining metallics
are still very
popular, even more
so this year.
We're also seeing updated
traditional.
A lot of the new designs are
made to look like they're
already old.
So what's happening here is this
is very traditional, but
it's updated and it feels
very cool and new.
ERIKA STORM-WASSER: It just
feels like you want to have a
glass of chardonnay.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: We're
also seeing the geometric
shapes both in textiles
and in accessories.
If you look at this mirror here,
it's a nice big pentagon
with little pentagons inside.
Again, all straight lines.
And then, as we move over to the
right over here, you start
to see these lamps here.
And this is literally stone.
We're also seeing strong
contrast between lights and
darks, which, again, give you
that fresh pleasing feeling.
And when there's color, you're
going to see colors that are
much more jewel tones.
They're gem tones.
You're going to greens and
oranges and blues.
They're going to be
watery and gemy.

So Erika, do you
like this room?
ERIKA STORM-WASSER: It's young.
It's fun.
It's colorful, and it's a
melding of everything we--
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: It's
got almost everything in it.
You've got all your
shiny stuff.
You've got your simple
geometric shapes.
You've got your gem
colors here.
You've got your high contrast
in the darks and the lights.
It's all sort of vintagey.
It's all sort of old
fashioned new.
ERIKA STORM-WASSER: I had so
much fun hanging out today.
This is a blast.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN:
It was great.
And next time we should come
back with money and we should
buy all this stuff and then
really make it work for us.
ERIKA STORM-WASSER: Exactly.
I think that would be amazing.
And then, we can do a big home
tour of my apartment, which is
a [INTERPOSING VOICES].
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: Let's
redo your apartment next.
ERIKA STORM-WASSER: Done.
Maxwell re-does my apartment.
I'm down.
Thank you guys so much for
hanging with both of us.
We had a blast.
I hope you learned a ton.
