I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style. Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
There is no denying that blue, gray and white have taken center stage recently. If you look closely at decorator magazines, you may find that beige and "greige", a combination of beige and gray, are now becoming more popular. You might want to stick with neutral tones for furniture and add a splash of color with artwork, rugs and throw pillows. Or, you can go bold with a colorful Chesterfield in a deep blue like the Ashley Furniture piece pictured above.
1. Choose a color scheme
Contemporary styling has gained popularity, along with more casual styles like a comfortable Farmhouse look and coastal pieces that are inspired by towns along the shore. Of course, beautifully crafted traditional wood furniture is an enduring look that will stand the test of time.
If you decide to update your home with contemporary furniture, you may want to avoid a stark feeling by incorporating textures and natural materials that soften straight lines. On the other hand, if you live in a loft in a trendy part of town you might want to go for an edgy industrial look.
2. Pick A Style
Decorators know that adding interesting accent pieces go a long way toward making your home a showplace. Interesting accent cocktail tables and chairs provide more function in your room in addition to personalizing your living space. If you are adventurous, think about adding an accent piece in a style that coordinates with existing furniture in the room, but does not match. In other words, don't be afraid to add a stylish traditional piece, even if your furniture is contemporary.
