what you want. Although not everyone wants bold for a nursery, and that is
why we are here.”
Popular gold and metallic embellishments have stayed the course for a few
years, as have earthy, raw or rustic tones in nurseries. Inspirational words or
phrases placed around nurseries have also remained popular, while vintage floral
patterned wallpaper or decals seem to be making a comeback.
Some Lowcountry nurseries also seem to work with furniture pieces and
accents that work for both sexes: deep blues, raspberry or even kelly green.
The impressions colors make reach beyond the interior of the house: The
exterior is the first statement made about a home. Jan Clouse, owner and
president of Carolina Lanterns, has seen changes since starting her business.
“In 1999, the most popular color was black, but today people have expanded to
more traditional lanterns with copper,” she said.
Clouse went on to explain that a house with copper gutters, roof and
lanterns is a wonderful choice: “Nothing says quality more than copper on the
exterior of a home. It is the only thing you can put on your house that gets
better with time.”
Copper turns naturally, offering an exquisite patina that goes through several
stages of color, she added
“In the Lowcountry, you can pair it with Charleston green, which is a
beautiful shade that never goes out of style,” she said. “It is timeless.”
According to Jan Clouse, owner of Carolina Lanterns, copper is an excellent choice for the
exterior of the home.
