Classic

Colorful furniture is a classic. The colors that are used change, as styles and fashion change over the years. Bold colors make a bold statement, so they need to be used wisely. Don’t overwhelm the space with too much color. Even in a monochromatic room a small pop of color will be appreciated. Linda K. Kusmer, Interior Design Consultant.

You only have to look to Europe to see how color and pattern have always been a part of classic style. While furniture should be considered investment pieces and not follow trendy fashion, your favorite hues on an accent chair or sofa will bring a personal touch to your interior! Janice Bohn, Anne Marie Design Studio.

Adding color to your upholstered furniture is a great way to customize the piece to be uniquely you. A moody hue on a classically shaped sofa can be such a timeless element in a living space. Gorgeous colors and luxurious fabric options are endless, we love assisting our clients to achieve that perfect combination! Meagan Cooperman, C&M Interiors.

Colorful furniture dances between classic and craze, a waltz determined by several steps. Consider your approach: colorful accents in a neutral room add personality, while a color-explosive space might feel dated sooner. Ultimately, personal preference is key. If the color speaks to your soul, it transcends trends. So, waltz confidently with color, choosing quality pieces that reflect your unique rhythm and you can’t go wrong. Savannah Sells, Youtopia Designs.

Yes, color is back and a classic, not just a trend.  Placed in the right setting is a refreshing update. A pop of color, be it in a lamp, chair(s), pillows or rugs can and will complement your room. Diane Rosen, Diane Rosen Interiors LLC.

Colorful furniture adds interest and whimsy to interior environments and can be especially impactful with a neutral background. Colors like blushes, blues and greens are showing up in even the most conservative of spaces. As we continue to evolve in the areas of interior design, people want a touch of the unexpected or some defining characteristic that is all their own and colorful accents can do just that. Kerry Staley, Hamtil Construction LLC.

Colorful furniture is definitely an interior design staple that is here to stay! With that said, the color choice is what can make it become trendy. Stay true to your favorite hues! Peach is the color of the current year, but will you still love it a few years from now? Typically we are drawn to similar colors throughout our lives and incorporating those in our furnishings can add unique detail and express personality in a fun way. Ellie Redders, Ellie Redders Interiors.

I don’t think bold colors for major pieces of furniture are a classic. I think colorful furniture in moderation can make a home feel energetic. A colorful accent chair and accessories, in a room with classic neutral furnishings, adds a touch of contrast as well as luster to the overall design. Colorful furniture can be a classic when used as a statement piece, and in moderation. It becomes a craze when it dominates the home. Georgine O’Donnell, O’Designs.
