Indoor/Outdoor Transitions Outdoor living has been a strong trend for sev-eral years and it is not only changing the way the homes are designed but it is also influ-encing furnishings. The transition between indoor and outdoor has almost disappeared in new homes, particularly in warm climates. In The New American Home at the 2012 International Builders Show, indoor spaces transitioned to covered outdoor spaces with patios, pool and water features. A white vein-cut, honed and polished limestone used in all three areas married the spaces. Additionally, many of the furnishings were covered with indoor/outdoor fabrics.

This year alone, in addition to orange, we’ve seen announcements that green and purple are colors to watch this year. For luxury homes, almost everyone agrees that grey is still the neutral of choice, but look for hints of blues or beige or even pink in today’s neutral grays. Also look for pops of color in rooms, with greens and blues predominating. T HE H IGH E ND 13
