Rustic Modern, Industrial Chic, Scandinavian and Boho-style home accessories are the heavy favourites this upcoming season.
Looking to get the jump on summer’s must-haves?For the first time in Canada, Etsy held a special event in Vancouver Wednesday to release its list of big summer trends in home décor and accessories, as well as its top pieces from local makers.According to Jennifer Knox of Etsy Canada, shoppers can’t get enough of Rustic Modern, Industrial Chic, Scandinavian and Bohemian home accessories — here are Etsy’s Canadian picks:
