    2017 Trends

    Experts predict what's hot — and not — for home design in 2017

    Lindsey Wilson
    Jan 3, 2017 | 9:22 am

    Does your house feature a decorative sign that lets your friends and family know that they are, in fact, "home"? If it does, or if you have a "cucina" sign in your kitchen or a "family" plaque reminding everyone what they're a part of, 2017 might be the time to let it go.

    Zillow Digs and a cadre of interior design experts have released their annual decree of what's in and out when it comes to home trends for the upcoming year, and quote art is on the "ditch" list. It joins two other trends that were, until recently, considered home decor must-haves: cool grays and industrial furniture.

    "The quote art trend is overdone, and a fad that will be forgotten quickly in 2017," declares Zillow. "Rather than decorating with words or clichéd sayings, homeowners will start to incorporate artwork reminiscent of the colors and textures found in nature."

    Gray tones are also overplayed, having gone from sophisticated to safe and spurring homeowners to crave pops of color instead.

    In 2017, those colors will be jewel tones and the texture will be velvet. Zillow Digs points to velvet's resurgence in the fashion world, meaning we'll soon see it encasing everything from pillows to sofas. Saturated colors such as emerald green and sapphire blue will star in artwork and furniture, "bringing life and richness to homes."

    Marble will help balance out all this vibrant luxury, appearing in the form of countertops, flooring, tabletops, and even serving platters and vases.

    But don't worry about marble clashing with your reclaimed wood dining table or stainless steel kitchen stools — soon you'll be seeing steampunk-inspired furniture everywhere instead. Zillow Digs defines this upcoming trend as "a unique hybrid of Victorian-inspired elegance boasting rich leather and plush fabrics, combined with machine-like accents for a modern twist."

    And if you styled a bar cart this year, start planning to upgrade. Built-in bars are making a comeback, with homeowners looking for more a permanent focal point for their entertaining.

    Velvet will show up everywhere from pillows to sofas.

    Asian collectible store Pop Mart opens first Dallas outlet at Galleria

    Pop Mart toys are not at all creepy.

    A global designer toy and entertainment store is coming to Dallas: Called Pop Mart, it's a one-of-a-kind shopping experience for fans of art, toys, and pop culture that is opening at Galleria Dallas on March 29.

    Pop Mart was founded in Beijing, China, in 2010 by college student Wang Ning who was only 22 at the time. Pop Mart now has a devoted following worldwide, with more than 450 stores in over 30 countries, plus 2,300 Robo Shops (blind box vending machines), as well as collaborations with brands such as Uniqlo, Crocs, Disney, Universal, and more. Blind boxes have toys hidden inside that you can't see when you buy them — a convention that started in Japan.

    To make their toys special, Pop Mart teamed up with artists which added cachet as well as monetary value, with limited-ediitons that made them collectible and therefore prized.

    This is the first store in the Dallas area but the fifth in Texas, following four stores in the Houston area. It's the 24th brick-and-mortar location as the global brand continues its rapid expansion in the U.S.

    At the Galleria store, visitors can expect an immersive environment showcasing Pop Mart characters such as Molly, Hirono, The Monsters, and Skullpanda, with exclusive releases, limited editions, and unexpected collaborations.

    Larry Lu, Head of Pop Mart North America head Larry Lu says in a statement that the new store will not only feature designer toys, it will "create a space where fans can discover new and exciting collectibles, connect with like-minded individuals, and unleash their inner creativity. We are eager to continue growing our presence in the South and engage with our loyal fans and collectors across the country."

    The store will offer specials on grand opening day, including vinyl plush dolls, accessories, and blind boxes from The Monster series that include several sold out and sought-after collections. Appearing at the grand opening will be Libby Frame, Pop Mart's first US-based artist and the creator of Peach Riot, a series about Frankie, Poppy, and Gigi, three high school students in a band. She'll sign items that customers have purchased from 2- 4 pm.
