We will give you a few of the trends in furniture in 2009.
We like to know what’s in when it comes to furniture, just like we do when it comes to fashion. Our home is the place where we relax, but also it makes a statement on our individuality. So, when we want to redesign our apartment it’s best to find out what are the current trends, so we can choose the best one for our home. Furniture fashion is something like clothing fashion, it’s a question of inclination and our own distinctive style, it’s the choice of something that makes us feel that we belong.
Now, we will give you a few of the trends in furniture in 2009.

Strong mix and match colors
In 2009, no more neutral colors, enhanced by bold colored accents! This trend shifted to vise versa. Buy a striking red couch for your living room. The main colors to choose are ripe tomato red, scarlet, ruby or cherry. If you don’t like red, you can get subtle green, or light blue furniture. As for accessories, choose earth-toned, brown colored pillows. You should have in mind not to use too many strong colors, because your house would look too extravagant.

Exotic accents
Once more, exotic looking furniture, is a trend that you should consider if you want to make a statement. Some of the most stylish furniture is the Asian and African inspired furniture. Some of the items you can use to get an exotic feel are dark weaved wicker or rattan products, items made of bamboo or oriental carvings and accents or Mexican tea sets. If you don’t want to spend too much money then you can get creative. For example make a picture frame from wood.


Go for big pieces of furniture
Furniture designers say that proportions are to be taken into consideration. But trends move forward and things like striking colors are becoming interesting, the same goes for big furniture. Go for an imposing coffee-table ottoman. Be sure to leave enough room in your floor plan or else your room will look crowded.

Hollywood chic
Another eye catching trend in 2009 is the Hollywood inspired accents. This style, that first arrived into the scene in the 30s, reappeared recently. The style is glamorous, sophisticated and elegant. The fabrics used are sumptuous and extravagant, the finishes are iridescent, the furniture has lot of mirrors, sleek lines and strong colors. True Hollywood Regency style adheres to a luxurious interpretation of minimalism.

Black and white
The combination between black and white will never go out of style. It’s not crucial what style you want to decorate your home in. Do you like the modern and minimalist style? Maybe you are inspired by the rococo, and love elaborate patterns and details? Minimalist black and white will be perfect for any of these decoration styles.
We advise you to make a plan, so that your flat will not look dull.

You need to have in mind three aspects, that is wall color, furniture and decorations.
Try not to use too much of the same color, and think about balance. If there is too much black, the apartment might look too sad, and if the main color is white it might look like a hospital. Now it’s time to think about decorations, so black and white pictures are always a good choice. Also you can play with these colors when you chose accessories as candles, paintings or pillows.

These are the most stylish trends this year. You shouldn’t choose too many of them at the same time, and stick to one or two. If you don't consider yourself a specialist, hire an interior decorator, so that the result will be without doubt a eye catching apartment. Hoping that our tips were helpful and that you will decorate your home in one of the most stylish trends this year.
