• 10 Furniture Trends
- Being Natural - Everyone wants Berber carpet. It's a new millennium and trends tend to be natural, to be soft. Leather chairs, rattan pieces here and there in formal living rooms add warmth. Even computers are being made of wood nowadays. A star-fish on an elegant brass and glass cocktail table.... It's the millennium glitz.... it's great and you can find a fossil in your backyard for your etegers. Have fun.
- Translucency - The fun to play with light is here. Play with light, play with air, play with color. Anything is possible. Imagine a complete glass dining room table setting on a circle of light through the floor. The entire table would glow. The same concept works with a desk. It's great and a strong influence in design.
- Classical - Classical furnishings and styles have identifying characteristics that have remained the same since their introduction by the masters of great. Using these motifs and stylings will add a sense of true perfection and show your design as a standard of great design. You truly can't go wrong with it. It's almost mistake proof. Have fun with the blending of great designs. It's fun, beautiful and timeless.
- Oriental - The true beauty and joy of the orient or Asian look is timeless. Whether you go all the way or simply add a touch of it here and there, it will add a sense of peace and beauty like no other theme will. My true favorite and most influential design of the day and always, is Feng Shui. ( A geometric practice in which the objects within a space are positioned or configured so as to create harmony. ) Thank you and Enjoy.
- Being Minimal - Being Minimal is totally true to the design world. All the design factors that make design work, will play on the circumstance that creates the look. Balance, flow, contrast, etc., etc., etc. The beauty is there and all it has to work with, the lighting and the exposure. It's all great and very popular and true. Enjoy it and use it. It will truly make your housekeeping a lot easier for you.
- Modern Furniture of the Day - The pre-war look is sizzling and very hot today. All the designers of that day are now in vogue. It all suggests comfort and loungeability. It's great and comfortable and very much fun...and besides, you'll be a hit and be very in at the same time. Mix it with all the classical pieces and you will have an encore of eclecticism.
- African Tribal - It's great and its everywhere in today's world of shopping. You know something is really in when the trend hits a kitchen utensil. In fact the animal prints have...... but definitely! It will never go out of style, in fact it never did...... it only left the scene for about 50 years. Your grandmother carried around a leopard purse and was very much in style. In fact if you look in her closet you may still find it there and it would be worth a lot more money than the one you would purchase at your local department store today. I guarantee you would not be able to tell them apart. A great style never goes out, it just revolves for a while then comes smashing back to enjoy and have the fun all over again.... so true. So truly enjoy it and definitely EXPRESS YOURSELF in the sheer elegance of all of it.
- Pale and Beautiful - It used to be called Pastel or Cool Colors..........Now it's using all the pale and sharp colors - Lime Green... Icy Purple. Think of a Vodka and Tonic cocktail and you can do a room. It's a southern trend but you can bring it up north and think monogrammatic... think cool...think lacquer. You have to like it to live with it, but it's definitely in, especially if your in Southern California.
- Accessories Art - Think art for everything.......It was always in the lighting but now it's also in the pulls on your dresser drawer. If you change your hardware, you can change the whole look fast, easy and not that expensive. If, you have wooden knobs on your kitchen cabinets, try crystal and watch the light bounce around your spaghetti. It is great for you and yours to express your individual design tastes....have fun.
- Eclectic - The concept that one thing makes another thing look better, really works. The correct blending of pieces is truly the way to go and today, it's truly the most popular and sought after form of decorating design....and of course, the most creative. Think art for everything (again). For example, you consider yourself the star of your home, so try hanging one on your wall. Stars aren't only for the holidays.....its Art and its Beautiful. When you asked about it, simply say or think in your heart, "In my home I'm the Greatest Star" and above all you truly are. Remember, when someone walks into your home they should see and realize you. Imagine that! And it truly works. Have a ball and don't be scared to try new things.
