What's Next: 4 Home Trends to Look Out for This Year

High Point Market, the furniture industry's most anticipated event of the year, takes place this month (April 18-23). The High Point Style Spotters gave us a sneak peak at the top trends we'll see this season.

1. Metallic

"I saw a wide range of metallic finishes and threading at the Fall 2014 show. For spring, the trend expands and evolves with metallic finishes primarily in gold but lots of silver, bronze, and pewter," says Michelle Jennings Wiebe of Studio M Interior Design. "These finishes continue to provide a sophisticated sense of drama and elegance to any environment."

2. Blue

"Pantone may have decreed Marsala to be the fashion color of the year but blue is the color of the year in furniture and accessories for the home," says Patti Johnson of Patti Johnson Interiors. "I see lots of deep and vibrant blue shades ranging from royal indigo to watery azure that are welcome updates to every decorating color palette this season."

3. Nature

"Designers are typically inspired by the natural world around them and this season is no exception," explains Lori Gilder from The Kitchen Design Network. "For example an elegant table lamp featuring a stunning slice of semi-precious stone or a table crafted from one solid piece of exotic wood integrates beautifully with the greens, blues, creams and browns found in nature."

4. Made in America

With the resurgence in all things manufactured in the USA, there are new pieces and collections that reflect a handmade, folksy quality in their design," says Kati Curtis of Kati Curtis Design. "Southwestern motifs and hand tooling details imbued these pieces with an authentic Americana quality."

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
