Here are some tips for seamlessly blending new looks with timeless pieces to create something that is current and on-trend.
How Do You Know If It Is Trendy or Timeless?
Trends often take the design world by storm and then disappear almost before the furniture is delivered. While they may initially seem to fit in with your décor, the question soon becomes for how long? This is often hard to predict.Although it may be difficult to determine which trends will have staying power and which will fizzle out, there is a way to determine when you should jump on a trend.
If you see something that speaks to you, by all means add it to your décor if it fits with your style and your lifestyle. If you are tempted by a piece just because it is the latest and the newest, but it doesn’t speak to you or fit into your style, maybe you should let it go.
For example, you can jump on the mixed media furniture trend by adding a statement piece such as the Shadow Play Studio Console Table by Lexington to your entryway. The burnished silver leaf finish and weathered elm table top provide a pleasing juxtaposition of relaxed contemporary with a touch of glam. It will easily mix with any piece you own.
And keep in mind that no matter how trendy it is, if you don’t like it today, you won’t love it tomorrow. And if you have any doubts, think about it for a day or so and if you are still thinking about it in a few days, go back and give it another look.
Go Carefully towards Trends
Start out slowly when adding something that might be trendy to your décor. Emerald green may be the color of the moment, but that may not last. Therefore, you may not want to paint your entire living room in emerald green. However, you can add it as an accent color with pillows, and other accessories.When used along with a more neutral or traditional color, trendy hues can add panache and personality to your home. Less is more when it comes to brighter colors, especially at first. Once you find which colors work for you, you can add them with abandon.
Let Your Home Reflect Your Personality
Trust your instincts when jumping on a trend. Your home should represent how you live and who you are. Don’t be swayed just because something is new. If it doesn’t fit your taste or style, pass on it. The past and present can work well together to create a look that is timeless and beautiful.Learn more about Baer's Furniture.
