Jewel Tones
Rich, vigorous jewel tones suggest sophistication and opulence. As far as trends go, jewel tones have become a classic.
You simply can’t go wrong with them. You can tone the colors up or down, you’ll still retain the impression of permanence and durability.
Like any piece of jewelry, you want to make your colors sparkle and shine. Gold, chrome, bronze, and brass are excellent pairings for your ruby reds, ambers, and citrine greens.
Velvet Upholstery
For the longest time, velvet has symbolized luxury and affluence. That hasn’t changed over the years.
In fact, the glamorous material has gone mainstream, mainly because of advances in fabric technology.
The velvet of the old days were easy to stain, difficult to maintain, and came only in limited colors.
Now you can walk into any furniture or fabric store and find velvet upholstery that does not fade or stain. They come in a multitude of colors and most are machine-washable.
Natural Materials
Experts say natural materials create a more holistic and calming home environment. That helps to improve a homeowner’s well-being.
From stone to wood and natural textiles, earthy browns and lush greens bring a refreshing touch of the outdoors into the home.
“No matter how large the space, natural elements will always assist in creating an inviting environment,” says Alicia Meireles, Senior Designer at HBA London.
Clean and Minimal
The minimalist interior design style first made a splash in the design scene in the early 1990s. The trend understandably never faded and is still a foolproof route for many home remodeling projects.
Minimal furniture designs with clean lines offer an invigorating alternative to today’s bolder design ideas.
If you’re looking for a design style that quietly blends comfort with functionality, clean and minimal is what you want.
Four-Poster Beds
Four-poster beds are back in style, thanks mainly to some creative re-imagining. The grand beds not only evoke tradition, elegance, and luxury, they also fit a range of styles these days.
In fact, few things evoke as much presence in the bedroom as this stylish piece of furniture.
Although the charm of a four-poster bed lies in its aesthetic qualities, the design also allows a safe, secure, and peaceful night’s sleep. That definitely counts.
Quality Matters, Of Course
Few will disagree that quality is perhaps the most important criterion in selecting furniture.
When people choose less than top quality pieces, they make a decision based on short-term price. You don’t want to make that mistake.
Simply put, quality furniture means better materials. You want solid wood, premium fabrics, durable construction, and impeccable craftsmanship. These things contribute to a piece that shows your taste and style.
Materials like particleboard, cheap fabrics, and nut-and-bolt construction will give you neither the appearance nor the durability of top quality pieces.
Whatever design style you choose, remember that the furniture in your home tells guests a lot about you.
You wouldn’t want to skimp on that, would you?
