Craze

Boldly colored sofas, or any furniture for that matter, are definitely a trend or craze. That said, it’s one of the most significant ways to show off your personality and atmosphere in your home! If everything was neutral our lives would be SO boring! Have fun and enjoy some color in your life! Take a chance and make a space tastefully memorable!

Pro Insight: Reclaimed longleaf yellow pine is a near extinct tree, which means you can only get the wood from deconstruction projects; it smells delightfully like Pine-Sol when you cut it, and the long, dense, pin-stipe grain is really appealing to the eye.

These personality pieces pack a punch against neutral fabrics and furnishings.

Adding nailhead trim to upholstered pieces and accessories is an easy way to add personality to a piece. We asked local design professionals if nailhead trim is a classic or a craze. Here is what they had to say.

Classic

A tropical hardwood, teak is one of the toughest species of wood around. So it is no surprise that when it comes to outdoor furniture, teak is often the go-to choice for its durability and elegance. This timeless material naturally patinas over time, keeping your furniture looking beautiful for years to come.

Not only pretty but practical, wingback chairs have been gracing homes since the 1600s. Originally designed as a way to provide comfortable protection from drafts or trap heat from a fireplace, today’s wingback chairs are still a classic staple in any space.
