Upcoming Spring Colors - Trends to introduce to your home

Every year in the Spring, the color palette changes. Trends come and go based around these colors, and we tend to shift our home decor, furniture, and overall design themes as a result. It’s incredible, the amount of influence something as simple as a color palette can have, but it also makes a huge statement as to what we find appealing at any given time.

This year, of course, is no different. Pantone has been the standard for upcoming color trends for years. They release a ‘color of the year’ that defines trends for 365 days at a time. But, they also release color palette predictions based on seasons.

For the upcoming Spring season, it's all about getting back to the natural beauty that surrounds us in different ways. Spring is a time for vibrancy, and appreciating nature. Pantone's upcoming Spring colors absolutely reflect those moods. They're taking a page from Mother Nature's book with colors like Pale Dogwood, Greenery, and Niagara. More subdued and familiar tones like Kale, Hazelnut, and Lapis Blue also make the cut, blending the natural coloring surrounding us with comfortable items we're familiar with.

What better time to appreciate the beauty of the natural world than in a blooming, flourishing Spring? Niagara will lead the color palette as the 'it' color for the season. It's denim-like blue reflects an idea of relaxation, comfort, and familiarity. All of the great colors that make the 'top ten' list  for the season are designed to do exactly the same. So, as you take a look around you this Spring, and try to decide which color palette to focus on for your home. Take a page from Pantone's book, to select on trend poufs, picture frames, rugs, throws and other decorative pieces that reflect these color palettes. Not only will you be on trend, but nature's color palette will find its way into your home!

Choosing the Right Mattress for You

By Home Style Furniture

Mattresses – making the most of your sleep:

The difference between a foam mattress and a spring mattress might make all the difference if you’re having trouble sleeping. Did you know that the average person spends approximately 30% of their life sleeping? This means that the importance of a supportive mattress is imperative to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Why? How you sleep will directly affect how you feel and go about your daily activities. Therefore, it would be wise to say that you need to make the most of your sleep! Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a memory foam mattress vs. a spring mattress;

Facts about spring mattresses:

·         It seems that one of the main reasons that springs are still being used in mattresses is because it is very inexpensive!  

·         Spring mattresses only give the illusion that they are supportive and comfortable, but they not provide sufficient pressure point relief.

·         Proper support with a spring mattress is not possible because one’s body does not push evenly on the coils.

·         A spring mattress loses about 16% of its firmness within the first year, but they can last about 10+ years.

Facts about foam mattresses:

·         With a foam mattress, pressure points are reduced, which in turn reduces tossing and turning – the leading cause of poor sleep. However, if you’re going to opt for a spring mattress, the firmer it is, the better.

·         Memory foam mattresses do not need to be flipped unlike spring mattresses. There is no maintenance required.

·         Allergies are significantly reduced with memory foam mattresses, as dust mites can only live on the surface and not on the inside of a solid block of foam.

·         Memory foam mattresses are temperature sensitive – this means the foam takes time to adjust to your body. The colder the room, the longer the mattress will take to adjust or recover its shape.

Now that you have the facts, you can decide which mattress suits your needs, if your budget permits you to make the choice.

TRENDING LIVINGROOM STYLE: ORGANIC DECOR IDEAS

by Home Style Furniture

In 2015, trending living rooms are mostly oriented towards a refined and natural style.

This year, neutral color palettes and organic materials are favored. Indeed, exposed wood, stone walls or a warm fireplace at the heart of the room are decorations that keep modern comfort.

Adopting an organic style living room doesn’t mean a less luxurious lifestyle. It’s just about embracing aesthetics that are unpretentious, elegant and closer to nature.

Your home is your haven; a place to rest, nest and simply relax. When you have a natural connection to your home, you feel immediately comfortable.

How to create an organic style?

With a more “organic” approach to home decor, you can establish a subtle yet notable flow between your interior space and the great outdoors. More than that, you can show off your naturally good taste and personal style in a way that looks effortless and feels right.

Two main ideas to incorporate organic elements at home:

1) You can mix some materials:

One of the main keys of organic style is mixing elements. Think rustic wood slab tabletops with earthy metal bases. You can add a piece of wood furniture, maybe something with a highly distressed finish incorporates rich, to give an organic character. Feel free to mix wood and metal with leather accent pieces, too. In addition, you can incorporate natural plants highlighted with a simple home accent urn.

2) You can pile on the textile:

Blend seagrass baskets in the corner, a wool poof, a braided rug that’s perfectly imperfect, textures and even in the most subtle tones.

Bright idea: The latest in area rugs and poofs offers a new spin on organic style by incorporating hair-on-hide leather, cowhide patchwork designs and more. The look is rich, the feel decadent and the mood: home on the range.

NEUTRAL PALETTE IS TRENDING!

by Home Style Furniture

The New Neutral Palette

When decorating your living room, keep in mind one simple mantra—neutral works in any setting. Now if you’re afraid of expressing your personality with a neutral palette, think again.

Neutral Style Guide

The key to delivering a cohesive living room look is to stay within your palette, for all the elements in the room. For example, if your walls are a flat gray, consider incorporating some of these elements (all in tones of silver and gray):

·         Shimmery silk drapes over sheer

·         Home accent chandelier with metallic shades

·         Smooth leather upholstery on pouf, chair or bench

·         Mirrored coffee tables

·         Sofa linens in an assortment of textures

·         White floor and table lamps

·         Baseboards, crowns, doors and windows painted high gloss white

Beyond the Pale

The new neutrals come in a surprising assortment of hues. You can focus on one color (the palest of pinks, lavenders, taupes or creams) or you can pair it with another cool color to add interest and you’re on your way to a gorgeous living room makeover.

Your Dream Theme

When outfitting your retreat, let the wall color guide the look of the room. If you have stark white walls, consider going with a whitewashed, or distressed wood motif. Use seashells, rope, baskets and linen to bring the look together. Taupe walls would pair well with creams, sleek metals and glass. You get the idea. Just remember to keep everything light and pale, nothing too saturated. Your living room is not the place for bold colors. It should be your peaceful, quiet sanctuary.

White and cream are very trendy colors for living rooms this year. Indeed, matched with simple and sheer colors, you can mix with smooth textures. We suggest a simple and refined style which remains natural and peaceful. A sophisticated and a relaxed ambiance together make up a perfect living room.

Be careful, try to favor as far as possible neutral and sober elements that you may match with some shimmery and elegant hues giving a personal bracing shade.

This year, we emphasize on a simple, refined style and a stylized lighting that enhances your home. There is some advice for living room organization:

Personality: Simple, refined, elegant, modern, current, spacious, minimalist

Strongest colors: Black, white, blue, green

Matter: Leather, soft and smooth textures

Furniture and accessories: Coffee tables, vases, flowers, candelabrums, sofas, mirrors, contemporary chairs, sofa bed.

Decoration elements: tiles, stools, bay windows

Different styles: soft style, industrial style, design style

Spring: It's Time To Change Your Bedding

by Home Style Furniture

When the summer is there and the winter is just a memory, it’s time to make some changes! One of the first things to be changed certainly is the bedding. Heavy drapes are replaced with sheers, and light-weight coverlets are very welcomed. There’s simply no better way to start the new season of sun and grass than with new bedding! Take a look at the fresh bedroom styles that we found for you.

Light and neutral

Spring is the right time to bring out linen sheets and offer yourself a fresh, restful and soothing bedroom atmosphere. The mixes of toasted almond and dust blue or tangerine are good choices for a smooth decor.

Bright and colorful

You can only feel happy when your gaze is set on a colorful pattern in shades of bright blue, green or orange. It’s the perfect way to make a transition between the last days of cold and the warmer season.

Warm and floral

Now that the sky is bright blue and the sun makes flowers come out off the ground, why not make flowers appear on your bed too? A warm colored print of big or small flowers would undoubtedly lift the mood.
