We are so fortunate to have access to great design and creative individuals in this country . It is such a beautiful melting pot of worldly influences , no matter which province you call home . As I grow older , I ' m less excited about birthday gifts ( any suggestions for halting this constant increasing number ?!) but I still get that twinkle in my eye when a new trend is released .
The constant evolution of trends in the marketplace always amazes me . As homeowners , we have access to so many beautiful finishes and styles and the combinations create endless possibilities . Of course , these endless possibilities can also make it a challenge to choose just one style that works for you ! ( Check out our trend report on page 28 for some of the hottest styles for 2022 to help you narrow down your favorites !)
I truly believe that good design is tailored to the individual . Since so many trends come out each year , you can select which ones speak to you . For those who are leery about trying something new , remember that you don ' t have to overhaul your entire home in one day . Start with an accessory , accent or area rug and then keep layering new pieces in your home in the coming months . I personally love mixing and matching design styles to create a stunning transitional look that is unique and focuses specifically on pieces I love . If you love the pieces you integrate into your design , you are less likely to grow tired of them over time !
As the end of the year nears , many of us are looking at what ' s ahead for next year ' s projects . One of my favorite sections in this issue is our Trendsetters which showcases talented individuals who are making strides in their industries . I love reading about the people that make our build , reno and design industry amazing ! These are the talented individuals who are on the front lines of design bringing us new and innovative products that we get to enjoy in our home . ( See Trendsetters on page 70 ) If you are looking for ideas for your new year ' s resolutions , look no further , this section is also full of inspiration .
