Bucks County, PA Oriental Rug Store Brandon Oriental Rugs - www.BrandonRugs.com - Shows The Beauty of Traditional Rugs In Contemporary Room Settings

The creativity in the following rooms, demonstrating the au courant, dynamic, hybrid decorating style should inspire everyone with a sense of the possibilities for transforming their living spaces. 

The economic downturn naturally repressed the ability of many to gratify their decorating urges, but the pent-up energy is beginning to manifest in rooms like these: fun not frivolous, surprising not shocking, tasteful not tawdry, real not ersatz, elegant -- even luxurious -- but not impractical.

We think there is a reassuring self-assurance in the simplicity of this style: even as it courageously embraces the future, it is not running from the past.
