Some people go to the spa for rejuvenation, finding new energy in mud baths and seaweed wraps. I go to home furnishings markets. As I cruise each aisle, checking out what’s new and hot in home interior design, my step gets a little lighter and my outlook a little brighter.

Because there is immense truth to the cliché that home is where the heart is, interior designers focus their work on the abode itself.
