Want to stay ahead of the curve next year? Here's a trade tip - fashion and techonology almost always come first. Be aware of the new watch, jewelry, and apple (products, not the fruit) trends happening around you, and it's more than likely those color pallets will find their way into interiors, hardwares and fixtures.

Happy hard-waring!
