2013 Furniture Trends!

This year it’s all about mixing furniture styles for a unique, individualized look!

Patterns- Pair patterns with solids to get a perfect mix of color and interest!

Accent Pieces- Mix into decor some handcrafted/hand painted wood pieces to add interest to any room.  Rooms can get boring with all the same wood tones so switch it up with fun unique pieces like this Bombe chest from Hooker Furniture.

Beds with storage-With many finding themselves downsizing or with a small bedroom, many are looking for more storage solutions.  What better way to store extra linens or winter sweaters than in storage at the end or side of the bed! 

www.urbancollectionsohiousa.com has many capabilities and wood/finish options.  Check out this bed from the Jamestown square collection: http://bit.ly/18Qrz1l

Smaller scaled pieces of furniture- Again, with people downsizing into smaller homes, furniture also needs to fit!  Smith Brothers does a great job producing styles that not only fit well into smaller spaces but are stylish as well!  Check out this style that is 75": http://bit.ly/18QsuPe

Tufted sofas- Whether it is for an office, den, living room, or great room, tufted sofas offer a stylish yet comfortable approach to making any room go from ordinary to classic.  We have many companies that offer such a stylish look.  Check out this sofa from Rowe Furniture-Robin Bruce: http://bit.ly/17Qz9dP

Office furniture-With todays busy lifestyles a lot of people are working from home, which is making the demand for attractive yet functional office furniture in the home.  Check out this set from Hooker Furniture- Dansforth collection: http://bit.ly/17QzgGl

Color! Color! Color!- whether it is on the walls, on a chair, or on pillows and accessories, do not be afraid to express yourself with color!  If you opt for more neutral furniture, paint an accent wall, or find a lighter shade of your favorite color and go crazy on all the walls in a room.  Even a simple vase in an eye-catching color can make a room have a sense of happiness.

Have fun decorating your home and updating this season!

2013 Means Lots Color, Pattern, and Texture

What’s HOT this season?

Trends move much slower with furniture than they do in fashion. For understandable reasons, people don’t want to rotate furniture as often. However, as seasons pass, styles slowly change. This season we are seeing lots of color, pattern, and texture!

Warm, welcoming, vibrant colors activate a space and make a room feel more playful and fun. Hot colors we are seeing this season are emerald, citrus, and blues. People still love a neutral sofa with pops of color on pillows and accent chairs, but we are seeing more and more people liking sofas in the blue/green family. Colorful leather is HOT right now as well, especially in citrus green, orange, and turquoise. Layering color on top of color can really pump up a room’s personality and brightening things up by adding a pop of color to a neutral room with furniture is really in right now. If you would like to keep things a little more neutral gray is hot right now as well!

Texture is also a big trend that we are seeing this season. They bring richness and depth into a room and it’s a great way to add visual interest to a space. When you see texture it gives the room an inviting and comfortable feeling. Don’t leave your room flat! Instead, add some interest with some great textures. You won’t be disappointed!

Lively patterns add rhythm and character to a room.  It could be anything from as small as a pillow or painting to as large as a piece of furniture. Switch things up and make your living space one of a kind by adding pattern into its design. The contrast will bring a fresh, unique look to any room.

What are you waiting for? Give your home a fresh look with some new color, patterns, and texture!
