Cozy and Current: 3 Top Furniture Trends Your Home Needs

If you’re looking to makeover your home, it can be hard to stay up on the latest top furniture trends. New styles of furniture come out all of the time. From what is trending and what you need to update, there are endless amounts of decisions to make.

The styles of furniture you choose should always reflect your lifestyle and how you and your family live your daily life.

Whether you’re decorating an entirely new house or just looking to update a few items, here’s a guide to some of the top furniture trends.

How to Choose Your Furniture Style

Your furniture style says a lot about you, according to Reader’s Digest. If you’re a more casual, laid back person, your furniture will likely be easy and comfortable. If you’re very clean and organized, your furniture style will probably be more on the modern side.

When choosing your furniture style, it’s important to think about how you live in your furniture. Do you have little kids who are prone to spills because they like to run around? Do you have a pet that sheds heavily? These factors will likely shape how you choose your furniture.

When you know what you need and how you’ll be using each piece of furniture, the function can help set the tone for the design.

Top Furniture Trends 2019

As 2019 wraps up, we can look back at the top furniture trends of the year. If you’re looking for some trendy pieces to add to your home, these trends don’t seem to be going anywhere in 2020, either.

Incorporating jewel tones, warm wood, and metals into home decor has been very popular in 2019.

Jewel Tones

In recent years, whites and neutrals have still remained popular. Jewel tones, however, are gaining in popularity as nice pops of color. Dark greens, purples, and dark blues are increasingly in vogue.

Wooden Furniture Designs

Adding wood furniture to a room adds a nice, natural element. With whites and neutrals everywhere, wood also brings some warmth to any space. Beds are especially great to buy in real wood. Since you can keep the same bed for decades, you want to make sure it’s built to last.

Metals

Metal fixtures and metal furniture pieces are staying strong from 2019 and into 2020. Brass and copper are quite trendy right now, and you’ll see these infused into a lot of decor and furniture into the new year.

When to Keep It Simple and When to Go for Trends

When it comes to furniture and decor, there is a time to keep it simple and a time to stay classic and timeless. Trends change and so does your taste. What might seem like a great idea one year may end up being something you’re sick of the next.

To avoid having to replace all of the once-popular pieces you’ve grown tired of, stick with more classic looks for your larger pieces of furniture. When it comes to classic pieces, think of wood furniture, beds, dining room tables, dressers, and chairs.

But don’t avoid trends entirely! Embrace the latest trends by adding smaller, less expensive, stylish accents like throw pillows, rugs, blankets, and bedding. These smaller items are a lot easier and more affordable to change out.
