This meeting of the 2012 Design Advisory Council\ , which is comprised of award-winning interior designers as named by New Jersey American Society of Interior Designers (NJASID)\, is sponsored b y New Jersey Monthly magazine. \; Look for the final top 10 list in May 2012 issue!\nIn the meantime\, here is a peek at a few of the produc ts that have my vote&hellip\;.\nBlue agate stone design influence&ndash\ ; I was first inspired by this bold natural material as seen in a Pietra Santa sconce represented by Profiles. I currently have plans to use thi s material in a custom coffee table for a beach house in Bay Head. Using this bold look in small doses goes along way! \;\nMore durable\, af fordable custom carpets in interesting new designs&mdash\;While touring carpet showrooms this week I was pleased by the array of new offerings&h ellip\; Among my favorite new designs is the Oushak Weave collection fro m Van Den Loom. \; These eye-catching hand knotted oriental rugs hav e an updated transitional design with patterns reminiscent of watercolor s. \;\nNew fibers such as banana leaf and linen create a silky sumpt uous feeling but with more durability and at a fraction of the cost of s ilk.\nPreppy inspired fabric collection by Lee Jofa &ndash\; I love the bold colors and can see these resort-wear prints used in a beach house o r as a punch of color to wake up a room of neutrals­\;&mdash\;such as  \; the gray and taupe palettes we&rsquo\;ve seen this past year.\nT o see the complete list of top 10 new design products you&rsquo\;ll have to wait until the May New Jersey Monthly magazine hits the stands!
