WELL ROUNDED

March 20, 2019

HOW ROUND FURNITURE PIECES ARE GOING MAINSTREAM

This trend has been present for A WHILE. I remember skimming through magazines and seeing these editorial vignettes featuring hyper curvy furniture. The emphasis should be on “editorial”. It always felt like this fashion worked for a magazine, but not necessarily for someones home. Like any trend, it feels like this tendency has undergone some type of evolution.

The evolution to make this style more commercial. As a result, increasingly more decor brands are introducing well-rounded furniture pieces like it’s the new black. A move away from conventional shapes and fully embracing these curves and the change in accepting “non-conventional” shapes. It goes well with the current social trend of inclusivity. Or maybe I’m looking too deep into it.

My sincerest apologies! I’ve been away for a whole year! This is probably the longest I’ve been absent! A lot has happened in the meantime and I will unravel it ( good + bad ) bit by bit. I promise!

5 ACCESSORIES THAT ARE TRENDING IN 2017

Accessories are really, what makes the room come to completion. It’s the cherry on the icing ( perhaps the icing on my all time favorite carrot cake! Recipe soon to be shared ;-)).

The more, the merrier. I personally love collecting them piece by piece, rather than going to Home Goods and just filling up carts, due to lack of patience for the process. In this case I think it’s totally worth waiting for the right piece vs. just buying things that are good enough or available now. Pinterest is packed with ideas, and I have noticed some statement pieces that could definitely serve as conversation starters that definitely would have an impact in any space.

Neon Light Signage

I love playing with the unexpected. This probably transcends from my personality: in between my ever so resting bitch face, you’ll find me rolling on the floor, because of a spontaneous laugh flash (yup that’s me! I get to 100 real quick!).

Unsurprisingly, I find my eyes drawn to neon light signage lately. Yes, it is a light, but this function becomes almost secondary. The light and the font collectively could be layered as an additional and unusual texture. Further, it’s a great way of bringing in some color since these lights can be made in different nuances. Besides that, it’s a fun opportunity to include typo into a decor scheme for all the font and quote lovers.

WALLS OF FEATURE

The Power Of Feature Walls

Feature walls can be very powerful. A surface you can use to accentuate and “embellish” a room. A great blank “canvas”, where you can express yourself and visually create a manifest of your style and simultaneously an extension of yourself. A great way to turn your place into a visual sanctuary, a place you can resort to and feel at home.

There are so many directions to take while planning a feature wall, such as placing a frame collage, a mural, wallpaper, oversized artwork or you can just simply write on the wall. The options are literally endless and that’s certainly the beauty of it.

The Essence Of A Feature Wall

I personally think it’s all about creating a visual moment. You are basically creating a life-sized vignette consisting of art pieces, furniture, and accessories. Important is that all pieces should complement each other and create visual interest, through a variety and preferably contrasting textures, shapes, and colors. Furthermore, you want to make sure the scale of each piece works in this collective.

Trial and Error Will Be Your Best Friend!

Along the process, you will realize that trial and error will become your best friend. By adding and/or removing items you can analyze and work your way towards your final look and intuitively approach your internal vision of your feature wall.

And let me tell you, it is ok to first think that one item is the perfect fit, but then when actually trying it out, you realize that it doesn’t work at all. take it as a lesson, because that way you know, what certainly doesn’t work and know, what to avoid in the next piece.
