April 2012 Highpoint Market

Hi All!

We wanted to share a little recap of our latest market trip. We visited the spring furniture market in Highpoint, North Carolina the last week of April. Market visits are important to us as they help keep us up-to-date on current trends and allow us to see new products that are being offered for each season. This is one way we can find new inspiration and be able to offer our clients the best possible ideas and solutions to meet their design needs.

This year we spent 4 days at market and visited more showrooms than I can count! I’ll start by talking about some of the trends we saw this time around and then post some pictures of our favorite pieces!

The theme of this market seemed to be a sort of “modern classic” concept in which streamlined modern styles or more contemporary fabrics are combined with classic furniture designs, lines and shapes to create some great transitional furniture pieces that could appeal to almost anyone.

This chair below is a great example of this combination of a funky, vibrant Ikat fabric on a traditional chair frame.

This chair also exemplifies how a classic frame can be given a completely different feel by using a bold striped fabric and painting the frame black.

Many of the showrooms we visited were using taupe/grey or deep plum colored paint as a neutral backdrop, while others painted their entire showroom a saturated teal color which was really eye catching. Teal seamed to be a popular color in smaller doses, but the colors that we found most prominent in fabrics and accessories were: plum, tangerine, and chartreuse.

The pictures below showcase the use of these 3 colors. Lots of contrast!

Another big trend was this grey-washed wood shown in the dining set below and a unique console in the second photo.

Chevrons & Ikat were very popular fabric patterns. These benches below were one of our favorite pieces! (notice the grey wash wood finish here too)

And finally, here are some of our favorites!

This sofa’s arms double as bookshelves or a place to put accessories =)

Petrified wood tables

Check out this great table base~

Very cool wood trunk-coffee table

That’s all for now!

Let us know what your favorites are! We had a blast at market this year and appreciate everyone stopping by to check out our blog. We are looking forward to a busy summer full of great design and plan to have some of our latest projects photographed and posted on our website later this year! http://www.anekajensen.com

2012 Las Vegas Market

Hi Everyone!

It’s been way too long since our last post, so we made this one count…!

Check out some of the photos below to see some of the cool  trends and new products we came across while at the Las Vegas Furniture Market that took place from January 30th-February 3rd at the World Market Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is one of many trade shows we visit on a yearly basis to get a feel for what direction the market is going from an interior design stand point. There are hundreds of show rooms to go to, educational seminars, and even some celebrities, authors, and other influential people in the business that you may come across.

“Rustic Elegance” is a hot trend right now. The juxtaposition of these two elements combined creates a versatile design by refining the distressed look and creating a sense of casualness to the overall feel.

The style of the room pictured below is eclectic, but also plays on the rustic elegance style with the coffee table and bookshelf, the feel is pretty casual but the bold grey and yellow pattern on the chairs dresses it all up

This rustic-yet refined metal console is another great example of rustic elegance

Another furniture trend we saw incorporated mixed materials, and as a result often created a mix of styles as well, as you can see in the table pictured below the use of metal and wood combines the traditional and industrial styles for a new look.

This was also a cool piece! wood/metal/mirrors

And finally, something that is becoming really hot right now- The leather tufted sofa below with nail heads lined with pillows

Hope you enjoy the photos! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think! What other trends are you seeing/gravitating towards right now?

Have a great weekend!

Rist Canyon Retreat

This 5 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath home in Rist Canyon, Colorado was completed in 2009

Aneka Jensen Interiors completed the entire interior design of the home. The exterior and floor plans were executed by David Hueter. Both firms collaborated on exterior color selections and materials.

A breathtaking exterior view of the Mountain-Craftsman style home.

Photos below exhibit interior details and specifications by Aneka Jensen Interiors

The gallery style entry shown below showcases the exquisite tile floor design, art niches and custom beam work that transition into a one of a kind barrel-vaulted ceiling finished with a faux copper treatment and up lighting on either side to really draw attention to this unique feature.

Below you can see the perspective looking into the open plan kitchen and great room that flow together easily for entertaining. This is the view standing on the opposite end of the barrel-vaulted hallway from the entry.

This amazing kitchen features a double island and ample space to serve the purpose of cooking or entertaining.

No appliance was overlooked in this kitchen! It has 2 dish washers, a full size and under counter refrigerator, an eight burner range and oven with char grill, two burner island induction cook top, microwave drawer, wall oven and a hard plumbed hot water dispenser and coffee machine.

The dining room mirrors the great room and has a presence all its own. Windows throughout the home look out onto pine trees and mountains with a 360 degree view.

Below pictured is the full bar complete with walk in wine cellar located on the homes lower level. Another great entertaining space with all the amenities.

Hope you’ve enjoyed looking at photos of this project, another one AJI has had the pleasure of being a part of!

Contemporary Kitchen Design

This is a project we recently completed in Fort Collins, Colorado. This kitchen has a contemporary feel and utilizes some new and interesting products such as Lumicor inserts for the cabinets, a beautiful green glass tile backsplash, and 2” thick concrete countertops.

High above the cabinets contemporary crown molding is the back of the 26’ high stone fireplace wall. Lighting the space are halogen cable lights running both directions and 3 hand blown blue-green glass pendants providing plenty of light for all the kitchens daily tasks.

The custom island adds a touch of cheer in the bright vibrant red painted finish with a maple chopping block on a portion of the top and concrete on the other. Also in the island are book shelves for cook book storage and a micro wave oven drawer.

A contemporary and unusually deep stainless steel sink is undermounted in the 2” thick concrete counter top

The Lumicor grass panels are inserted into the distinct vertical grain fir cabinets creates a one of a kind combination.

Here you can take a closer look at the range and hood application, crown molding, and glass tile backsplash. The simple lines incorporated into the details of this design create a sense of harmony.

Under the double ovens is a hidden pull-out step stool used to reach the tall cabinets.

The high ceilings allowed for unique lighting solutions such as the halogen cable lights.
