Being Understanding In Difficult Situations

Clean and Functional: What's Trending in Furniture

One of the most exciting parts about browsing a furniture store is seeing all the latest trends on display. Colors, textures, and styles signify what is currently popular among those who love to decorate or even those simply looking to add a few pieces to their collections. With many now being forced to stay at home due to preventative measures relating to the global pandemic, a closer look at one's own furnishings is starting to become more popular. The sleek and sophisticated look of modern-style pieces and neutral colors are certainly in the spotlight these days. Allowing for a clean and simple overall aesthetic, this trending style is sure to please the eye and add comfort and elegance to any home. 

Color

When it comes to colors, the neutral palette is without a doubt the easiest to work with. Furnishings in neutral grays, creams, and browns allow for added in pops of color in statement pieces such as art, pillows, or rugs. Neutrals also allow those looking to decorate to provide their space with a modern flourish that is understated yet elegant. And though many may think of the neutral color palette as limiting, it can actually be used to conjure a number of unique looks.

Pairing blacks and whites, for example, would provide a bold and striking look while opting for a beige and tan theme would offer a more comforting and soft environment. Another important characteristic of modern style furniture would be functionality. Tables and chairs that have simple and minimalistic legs, for instance, would instantly provide more floor space and look less cluttered while still providing adequate support. Couches with smaller armrests still offer comfort yet are devoid of unnecessary bulk and fluff. A cushioned chaise in a soft cream color is a wonderful example of extra comfort provided by a modern design. 

Design

What is most prominent in the modern style is that of sleekness. Clean lines, neutral and cohesive color, and functional design are all important to not only complete the overall look but also provide those enjoying their surroundings with comfort. Simply because the style of the furniture itself is modern does not mean that comfort must be sacrificed. Those relaxing in such an environment are also aware of the inherent organization and purpose that comes with the more modern style. Though trends do indeed come and go, what is wonderful about the modern look is that it is truly timeless. Because of the neutral tones and sleek designs, additions can be made to already existing rooms, serving as a timeless base for future inspiration.
