One of the most common questions among homeowners looking to redo their interior design is, “Is painted furniture still in style?” Painted furniture had a resurgence over the past ten years or so, with modern farmhouse and shabby chic becoming some of the leading trends across the country. With these trends, painted and distressed furniture was popular. While painted furniture is still in style, specific trends within painted furniture are out, like faux-distressed furniture or chalkboard or matte paint. Look to folk-style detailing on painted furniture to increase in popularity over the coming years.

Tufted furniture is a classic design trend that has been around for hundreds of years. After all, it’s versatile enough to be both modern and classic. Diamond-tufted furniture can add texture and sophistication to even the most simple furniture designs. These days, you’ll see tufted patterns on everything from mid-century modern sofas to classic sofas and sectionals.

Two-tone furniture is another classic style that is versatile enough to be used in many applications. Many times, two-tone furniture is a combination of both painted and stained wood in one piece. Are you wondering, “Is two-tone furniture in style?” The answer is not black and white. We suggest treading lightly on this trend. Stick to modern or contemporary pieces, or the two-toned furniture can quickly look dated.

Wood trim is a classic design staple that can be incorporated into any design. From ornate crown molding to modern, sleek trim, wood trim is a design staple that will always be in style. If you have wood trim and feel like it’s a little outdated, try giving it a refresh with a new coat of paint. Adding some modern or contemporary furniture, new artwork, and accent pieces will also revitalize the space. With just a little bit of tweaking, classic wood trim can feel new again.

While their styles may come and go, accent walls will always be popular because of their flexibility. To incorporate an accent wall into your space, simply paint your focal point wall a different color. We love adding wallpaper, wooden trim, paneling, or even creating an accent wall out of mirrors. The sky is really the limit here, and the possibilities are endless!

From lighting fixtures and wall trim to paint entire walls, black is one of our favorite colors to use in design. The best part is that you can add black to just about any room without it clashing with your current style. This is especially true for homes that incorporate modernism or contemporary, as it adds a touch of minimalism without being too flashy. Incorporate black furniture as a strong focal point in a room or a small table if you want a little bit of black accent without it being overbearing.

Often used as seats and footrests, poufs have been a staple in interior design, and it looks like they’re here to stay. A functional piece of furniture, poufs are minimalistic in design and can fit into living rooms of any size. We predict that pouf seating options will continue to evolve with their material, color, and pattern in the coming years.
