WHAT’S TRENDING? LIGHT, CRISP, AND BRIGHT

From grays to whites and everything in between, light colors are all the rage. From the floor to the walls to the furniture, many interior and exterior spaces are becoming lighter.  White trim, cream leathers, silver metals, gray fabrics, and much more are transforming both indoor and outdoor spaces alike.  The trend is to lighten up and you can do it successfully in many different ways.

Lighten up a kitchen or bar counter with stools such as the Ronny Swivel shown here in an oyster seat and back with titanium finish metal frame or, opt for a contemporary style with an adjustable stool that mixes chrome, white upholstery, and natural wood grain.

Update a dark theater or home entertainment room with a lighter leather. A soft shade of white will help blend with other warm wood tones or chocolates that are already present in the room. The Stereo model by Palliser is a great smaller scale option.

Omnia leather makes beautiful recliners, theater seating, sofas and sectionals. The recliners above have a cup holder that even cools your drink! The conversation sofa below is also available in other layouts such as a straight sofa or loveseat.

Have you ever sat in a Stressless® chair? This sofa brings together the ultimate comfort and mechanics of a Stressless® chair, but in a three seat reclining sofa.

Don’t want to go with white or cream? Choose a cool gray leather like displayed on the Hi-Fi theater seating from Palliser shown below.

Looking for a crisp option for your three season porch or outside patio? This teak sectional from Summer Classics is stunning in an all-weather teak frame, white Sunbrella fabric, and seaside navy pillows. Doesn’t it just make you want to kick up your feet and take a nap in the summer breeze?

Keep it neutral with this all-weather wicker outdoor sectional with a weave in blends of taupe, tan, and beige and creamy Sunbrella fabric with accents of neutral plaid pillows.

Not everything has to be white. Take a look at this all-weather wicker set. You can keep the frame in a light gray and enjoy bright and cheerful colors for the fabric cushions.

Even accessories are getting in on the lighter trend. Add small touches with pots, picture frames, canvas, mirrors, or metal décor to brighten up a dark room.
