Welcome to Style Trends

Style Trends is your source for the latest in design trends for the home.

I'm Nuno Ferreira, principal at Style Bath & Kitchen. I take my years of experience in the design world with companies such as Design Within Reach, Williams-Sonoma, and USM and try to highlight some of the latest trends and styles in the design industry.

As with design, collaboration helps to enrichen the experience. That is why I welcome postings from other design enthusiests, designers, students, and anyone else who takes a critical eye to the built environment and the objects that fill it.
