Decorating your home is never an easy feat, made even more difficult with all the great styles of decor and furniture designs available these days. It seems once you've found a great sofa set, it's nearly impossible to then find a dining set and bedroom set and china set and the countless other home accessories that will all match each other perfectly. Sometimes, it's enough to make you wanna tear your hair out. An easy solution? How about finding home decor and furniture that are all the same color? Or more accurately, lack of color. Clear accessories for the home, as well as clear furniture and other home accents, are popping up all over the place. Not only will they surely match perfectly with all the other color-less pieces, but the see-thru aesthetic gives the home an ultra modern and futuristic feel. With everything from kitchenware to larger household items available in clear materials, it's easy to give your home a cohesive look and unique style. Plus, cleaning is a snap when you don't have to bust out the heavy vacuum cleaner or steamer and just need a box of Clorox wipes. The only downside? Since these super cool home accents are see-thru, no more stuffing the dirty laundry and other little messes behind the furniture when guests come over!
Nothing Complements a Fine Wine Like a Fine Wine Glass

I think it goes without saying that the wine glass you choose is just as important as the wine itself. So why, given the multitude of wines out there that we're bound to try, do we continually pour them into the same, clear, cookie-cutter glasses? It boggles my mind, and its not just because I'm on glass number three. So the same way that you linger in the land of shiraz and sangiovese, take the time to select stemware with personality to match. Don't worry about compromising elegance for fun, look for unique textures, painted accents, and unexpected colors. (And be sure to check out the black glasses. They're as dramatic as they come, and are bound to steal the show at your next gathering.)
