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.

 

Sconces Are Uhh-mazing And Here Is Why 

First of all, I would like to share, I was never a big fan of sconces. I always associated sconces to be old fashioned and honestly didn’t pay them any mind. The trend dawned on me during the time I worked for West Elm. People were more keen on using sconces than table lamps, which were either due to lack of space in these ever so small Bostonian apartments or the client just preferred the look of a sconce. Living in this era where living spaces seem to get increasingly smaller, emphasizes how practical and essential these light fixtures can be.

The dining room is a pretty multi-functional room in our home. This is where we eat, work or craft up some DIY projects. It’s basically where a lot of the action and magic happens. It is also a space where great conversations & discussions are held and, of course, memories are made. I think it’s essential to maximize the way you live and use your domicile. It’s healthy and makes you feel happy and more at home, as it offers to house and manifests all layers of your personality.
