Home Decor for the Spring Hostess (or yourself)

By now, you definitely know the season’s trend for clothing and accessories, but do you know the season’s trends for Home Décor?  SSM to the rescue!  We not only tell you the Spring 2008 home trends but we also give you our top picks. So next time you are invited to someone’s home for dinner, a weekend, or just because, bring them a gift that not only she (or he) can use, but a gift that is also stylish (as if that needed to be said).  So read below and get inspired, you will love these gifts so much that you will probably start planning a get together at your house immediately. You will quickly see that the cooking and dirty dishes are well worth it!

Crystal Lighting

You can’t read a magazine or walk into a store without seeing a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Everyone wants one but not everyone can have one (ceilings too high, nasty landlords, etc). So do your friend a favor (or yourself) and get her the BLIK Wall Chandelier Sticker .

Natural & Eco-Friendly Style

Help her save the earth and liven up the walls with the eco-friendly FOLAQ-Foliage in Aqua . This beautiful piece of art is a unique gift that will fit nicely in any room.  Just don’t expect her to hang it while she is getting ready for company!

Ethnic Inspired Prints & Décor

While some people may not be psyched with only four dinner plates (after all people do register and get service for 12), they will definitely appreciate getting just four dessert plates. Like dessert, no one can get enough and the more you have the better hostess you are.  Dessert plates are a fun way to add some flair to your existing dinnerware.  So jazz up your next dinner party now and get with this season's ethnic inspired trend and serve your dessert on these chic, Indian inspired Rosanna Darjeeling dessert plates .

Country Living

Spring is all about fresh air, bird’s chirping and pretty pastels.  So when looking for the perfect Spring hostess gift, there is nothing more useful and more appropriate than the Birds & Trees Coaster Notz .  This fabulous set of 4 serves as a coaster, a place card, and a notepad all in one.  This gift will definitely guarantee you an invite any night.

 Beach Theme

Whether you are invited for a night at their shore house, or just over for dinner at their “normal” home, the Gianna Rose Atelier Seashell Soaps in an apothecary jar is the perfect gift. This beautiful jar containing nine adorable and great smelling seashell themed soaps is just what the beachcomber or stylish hostess will want this season.

Now if these gifts don’t give you a reason to entertain, than we don’t know what will!
