If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen me asking you for advice this weekend on my latest big home purchase: a new settee. A pretty pricy purchase, I was in a dilemma as to what exact style to go for. I knew I wanted a right-hand corner style for maximum comfort and in a dark colour to match my black and gold decor in my lounge, but the exact decision was hard. It’s a lot of money to spend! Eventually, I went for a navy blue chaise lounge style corner sofa, with dark walnut legs and in a velvet material finish – exactly to my original spec but a little more money than I would have originally wanted to spend!
However, what helped me make the decision was being clear on myself as to what style I wanted right from the outset. If you too are looking to indulge in some new home purchases to upgrade your home in 2020, here are some great furniture trends to consider…
Console tables come in many different styles, shapes, sizes, and colours. One option you have available is to purchase a high gloss console table. If you are looking to create a clean and contemporary feel in your home, high gloss furniture is a must. You can also use this furniture outdoors, although you need a stable wood that won’t expand or warp for this. You will benefit from a sleek, minimalist console table that will add a modern edge to any room in which it is placed. However, the style of high gloss home furniture is just one of many benefits. High gloss surfaces also have the benefit of lightening up any room. This is because light will bounce off the surface, instead of being absorbed. It will then bounce back into the room, thus brightening up the space. This is particularly beneficial for small and awkward rooms, easily adding another dimension to dull or flat spaces. You will really feel the effects of this if you go for white high gloss furniture in particular. You also do not have to worry about your console table going out of fashion or looking dated. While high gloss furniture has a modern edge, it is by no means a new invention. In fact, high gloss tables and alike have been popular for decades now, and, therefore, you don’t have to worry about falling out of love with your new investment.
Baumhaus La Roque furniture is one of a kind. If you are a fan of mahogany furniture, you will fall in love with this range. La Roque Baumhaus furniture is an elegant, mahogany range of furniture, which has a modern feel to it. As is the case with a number of Baumhaus home furniture ranges, La Roque is very environmentally friendly. You can also be sure of high levels of quality and craftsmanship too. The beauty of the furniture is enhanced with teardrop handles, brass bows, and a gloss lacquer finish. It is fair to say that La Roque is certainly one of a kind. Mahogany furniture has long been popular in the home – let’s take a look at the different reasons why. Not only does mahogany furniture look impressive, but it is also known for its high levels of durability. It is true that mahogany furniture is slightly more expensive than other types of furniture, but customers are willing to pay more so that they can experience the premium levels of quality. It is a good choice for any applications that demand horizontal or vertical rigidity, as it is a strong wood. It will also resist common wood damage, including pitting, splitting, and chipping. If that was not enough, you can expect this type of wood to retain its beauty for many years to come.
These days, people use bedside tables for a number of reasons, including housing a table lamp, placing their alarm clock, and for extra storage for their underwear and socks. There are a number of factors that need to be considered when looking for this type of home furniture. First and foremost, you need to determine what you are going to be using the bedside table for. If extra storage is the reason, you will want to find something that has good size storage, and perhaps even some compartments. If you just want something so you can place your bedside lamp or alarm clock, you can afford to go for a more unique design, as you will have more options available to you. The design and style of the bedside table is the next factor to consider. Do you want something modern? If so, you could opt for a high gloss bedside table, or for something in a vibrant colour. This will help you to make a bold and striking statement. Alternatively, wooden bedside tables look great in traditional rooms. For a period look, seek bedside tables that are carved with intricate detailing. Finally, don’t forget the all-important aspect of space. The bedside table needs to look in proportion with the bed, and it must fit comfortably too. Make sure you can open the drawers without any issues.
