Summer is such a fun time to give your home a face lift and we have a whole new batch of fun design ideas for 2011. Using San Diego furniture rental to achieve these trends has never been easier!
Color Of the Year
If you aren’t aware of Pantone and their Color Of The Year, it is time you learned! Pantone is the world-renowned authority on color and has been inspiring design professionals with products, services and the leading technology for the colorful exploration for more than 45 years. This year, they have selected Honeysuckle, which can be described as a sort or orangey-pink, as the color of 2011. It’s hard to not feel cheerful when you see a room that has utilized honeysuckle in its design. You can use it for carpeting, furniture, accent walls, or even light fixtures.
Organic Shapes
Rounded and flowing organic shapes are in this summer. Windows, doors, frames and lighting fixtures with a liquid smoothness and feel all fit into this trend.
Going White
Using a white background with bright colors in small pieces of furniture and distinctive design elements creates a dramatic and trendy contrast this summer. Hanging images on the walls that have a white background with brightly colored focal points can help to tie the trend together in a room.
Accent Walls Transformed
Don’t just paint a wall in your house one color and call it an “accent wall†because, this summer, the trend is more interesting and exciting. You can use different shades of wallpaper to take this trend to the next level. Wall imaging is another popular aspect to this trend; choose from having an artist paint directly on your wall or using vinyl or canvas wall art that you can apply directly to the wall yourself, even if you aren’t artistic!
Living Walls
This is such a fun (and environmentally-friendly) trend. Use plants and living greenery to decorate your walls. Although you can’t rent the plants from your local San Diego furniture rental location, you can contact a local installer right here in San Diego to put a live green wall in your home. If you don’t think you can handle the upkeep that is necessary for a live green wall, placing back-lit images of greenery will give the same idea. Green plants promote health and even relaxation, so do yourself a favor, and invest in this trend – one way or another.
Spring is here, which means time to spruce up your home for the warmer weather, longer days, and summer nights, which are just around the corner! There are several fun trends on the horizon this year in interior design. Take advantage of all the benefits to using San Diego furniture rental when re-decorating your home this season.
Though the word folkloric is often associated with Latin American cultures, this trend is not tied to any specific culture or heritage, and uses traditional craft and hand-drawn imagery from many countries. It is a mixture of African, Russian, Scandinavian and Indian influences across fabrics, metal work and ceramics. This trend can include well-crafted pieces of furniture, while adding embroidered or patterned textiles for understated warmth; dress your tables in hot summers colors like oranges, reds and pinks to fully embrace the folkloric trend.
So Fresh Trend
Spring has sprung, so decorate your home with flowers, fabrics and home-wares in a broad range of yellows and soft greens of khaki, moss and olive shades. White lacquer furniture pieces and white porcelain, perfectly complement this trend. You can also utilize rattan garden furniture and natural wood furniture to pull the look together.
The 1950′s trend is all about being retro with faded red, jade green, and harvest gold colors. Of course, retro prints and the shapes and styles of mid-20th Century Furniture are the perfect combination for this trend.
Granny Chic is very similar to the So Fresh Trend but uses contemporary graphics and updates on florals, along with crochet, china, and all things “quintessentially British and homespunâ€. The central theme of this trend is flowers on tableware, cushions in teal, maroon and muted gold and a real mix of nostalgic flowery wallpapers.
This trend is still going strong with chalky pastels of dusty pink, mint green and pale blue, which have become a key palette for spring & summer 2011. Subtle hints of colors can be added to your tableware and accessories throughout the home. To pull the look together, combine this color palette with matte finishes.
