One of the biggest trends in decorating these days is the theme of contrasting colors and finishes. From clothing, to fabrics, to home accents, you will find black with white, soft with hard, and shiny with dull. The contrast of color, textures, and finishes makes today's furnishings and home decor items popular.

Right now, I am in the market for a new sofa. I have kept my search strictly to leather as my heart is set on it. I have looked at leather sofas in all shapes, sized and forms. I like brown leather sofas with curved wooden arms and legs as these materials juxtapose nicely. I am seriously drawn to sleek black leather sofas with stainless steel legs in postmodern 1920's style. However, the item that most caught my eye is a large leather sectional upholstered in both leather and suede. Talk about opposites! This piece has me completely spellbound.

I have found myself strangely attracted to wall decor that features colors and finishes that one would not normally mix as well. One such piece is the Elenio Metal star with Mirror. This starburst style wall art mirror is a new take on the old retro style, but updated with a rust colored metal finish. The juxtaposition of the shiny mirror with the weathered metal makes this a truly unique piece of wall art. At 36" in diameter, this wall art mirror would look great above just about any fireplace or sofa, as well as in the dining room or foyer.
