Your registry doesn't have to be about crystal and china. Instead, fill your registry with hot new products you'll use every day.
Color-iffic
The muted monotones of the 90s are out, with juicy tangerines, limes, and fuchsias popping up in all the latest home accessories. From orange shower curtains to azalea pink throw pillows, colorful touches are the hottest way to brighten up the look of your house.
Shake It Up
Think luxe. Think glam. Think nightclub chic. As the craze for designer martinis and fine wines continues, the influence of the After Five crowd is cropping up everywhere. Build your reputation as a cocktail connoisseur with swanky glasses and accessories. Look for gleaming chrome, streamlined glass, and eclectic touches.
Retro Revival
Designers are looking to the past for inspiration and the result is products that evoke the warmth and comfort of grandma's kitchen. Get that apple pie feeling with milk glass platters, heavy-duty chrome appliances or red and white gingham kitchen towels. Whether you can cook or not, your kitchen will feel like home.
Homebody
With drama on the world stage, today's home is more of a haven than ever. The focus of entertaining has turned inward, with a rise in do-it-yourself gourmet cooking and a renewed interest in dinner parties. Find your inner Emeril or Wolfgang with the help of fun kitchen gadgets. From fondue pots to pasta makers, there's no better way to inspire the budding gourmet.
Mix And Match
Individuality is always in, and more and more couples are choosing to create their own signature style by mixing and matching. Register for scarlet placemats to play up your antique china, or contemporary glass to offset traditional silver. Dare to break new ground and create a house that's uniquely you.
