2013

2013 trends in home furnishings are very exciting with a broad assortment of accent colours and diverse looks that will get your creative energy going. Mixing transitional and relaxed looks with one-of-a-kind treasures and repurposed items is all the rage. And don’t be afraid of colour! Brightness adds beauty!

Pattern is backSofas and chairs are alive with colour. Among the most popular choices is floral on a white background. It’s warm and vibrant. Match a floral sofa with solid coloured accent chairs for an easy, breezy look.

Artsy Craftsy“Artsy craftsy” is “in” too. Really beautiful handcrafted items – think folklore. Blend it with your current furniture. African and Mexican pieces also add character to a room with their rugged styling, amazing prints and pops of colour.

Beds with StorageThey’re back and better than ever. And really, who can’t use more storage?

Accent ChairsThe great thing about an accent chair is that it doesn’t have to be a huge investment. For a reasonable price you can add a whole lot of oomph to a room. Go a little wild on the pattern – maybe a dramatic black and white graphic.

WhiteWhite is wonderfully popular again as a background colour or the finish on furniture.

Office Furniture and DesksMany people work at home these days and that means they need a functional and stylish desk.

Colour, Colour, Colour!Neutrals are always safe, but this year brights are the rage. Maybe a red side chair? How about side tables in emerald green, the colour of the year? What about a lamp with a blue base? You don’t have to reinvent your home to be current!

WalnutAnd on the opposite side – walnut! Rich walnut will always look appropriate. You can never go wrong with a walnut dining room.
