At Home in Arkansas: What are your must have items for the new year? Beth Davis: Loving wallpaper right now! So many new and different patterns are available. I have discovered Detroit Wallpaper Company who will print your own paper design for you in the amount of runs that you need! AHIA: What is your favorite paint color at the moment? Beth Davis: I don’t really have favorite paint colors, but I do have “go to” colors for certain situations. I did repaint my house this year, (walls, ceilings & trim) and used an old Sherwin-Williams color called Caen Stone. I love the way it is a warm beige, tan, cream color and yet isn’t any one of these. It has just enough red in it to make it warm. AHIA: What is the last thing you purchased for a client? Beth Davis: The last thing I purchased for a client was this beautiful fabric. We wanted to brighten up her home, so we are adding some color and using this fabric as our inspiration. AHIA: Is there a design trend or product you are dying to try or purchase for a client in 2014? Beth Davis: I have loved a few lacquer pieces for years, but it seems to be all over the market. I love mixing it in with non-lacquered pieces for an eclectic look. AHIA: What is one design secret you can share with our readers? Beth Davis: I’ve had this issue come up a lot this year during remodels. Do you have to match your plumbing fixtures to your light fixtures and cabinet/door hardware? NO! I don’t know where this myth came from, but there is a lot more interest sometimes if you DON’T match them. Sometimes you will want to, but there is not a rule that you have to.

Thanks, Beth!
