Inspired Living Room Trends for the New Year

Ashley Furniture Sofa

The new year brings design trends that maintain the living room as a comfortable haven against the ravages of the outside world, but this year with some interesting twists. Grays, whites, blacks and other neutral tones continue to take center stage, and many people are now adding statement rugs for interest. Curves are now more in style in living room furniture collections as an antidote to the stark, straight lines that have been so popular in minimalistic contemporary living rooms. Many stylish homes display touches of moody tones for drama, like soft black with undertones of blue against light or white furniture.

When you are ready to spruce up your home, you can find discount living room furniture online and at showrooms in central New Jersey.

A Monochromatic Color Scheme with a Statement Rug

Create a dazzling living room from the floor up with an area rug featuring a strong pattern or a pop of color. In a move away from stark straight lines and minimalism of uber-contemporary styles, we now see softened silhouettes and bold rugs with personality. Choose bright shades or geometric designs for the highest impact.

Curves Make an Appearance in Living Room Furniture

Universal Furniture Sofa

Curves are in again to soften the straight lines of contemporary living room furnishing, like this stylish Chesterfield sofa from Universal Furniture shown here. Add accents like round cocktail tables and barrel chairs, along with decorator items like rounded mirrors to accentuate the effect. Many name brand furniture collections are on-trend with rounded silhouettes to lighten the mood.

Moody Blues

Ashley Furniture Sofa

Nothing says “bring in the new” like deep, moody colors like blues and blacks. White and gray sofas may be in style but adding a loveseat or accent chair in a highly contrasting color add depth to the décor and expresses your good taste. High style sofas with tufting, nail heads, rounded arms and tufting in a deep tone go a long way in introducing thoughtful design features in your living room.

The Fun Factor

Dimplex Fireplace

We can all use a little more fun in our lives, and name brand living room furniture collections offer no end of choices. Entertainment consoles and motion furniture like rocker recliners and sectionals make the living room a great place to kick back and relax.

What to Look for in Living Room Furniture

Craftmaster Living Room Furniture

Choosing living room furniture is fun, but it is also an important decision. Your living room is a relaxing place where the family gathers after a busy day at work or school and on the weekends. When you choose living room furniture, think about the style you like, the pieces you need and the durability you require to stand up to your lifestyle. You can find discount name brand furniture collections at showrooms in Howell and Middletown, central New Jersey.

Here are some things to look for when you are shopping for living room furniture.

The Style

Bernhardt Living Room Furniture

When it comes to finding a style for your living room, you will have a wide choice. Many people love the timeless look of traditional classics, while others prefer more contemporary or Modern American designs such as the Bernhardt living room items pictured above.

If you live near the seashore, you may enjoy the breezy coastal look of painted furniture with lighter shades. Families with children and those with a casual lifestyle might appreciate a rustic or nostalgic Farmhouse style. No matter which style you choose for your living room, make sure it harmonizes well with the rest of the furniture in your home.

The Type

Elran Sectional Sofa

Think about how you will use your living room, and based on your lifestyle you can then choose the right pieces. If you have visitors on a regular basis you may want to concentrate on having enough seating in your living room. For some people, that means a sectional sofa, a recliner and accent chairs as well as a loveseat if you have the space. If you expect overnight guests, think about a sleeper sofa that will provide seating by day and sleeping space by night. To design a living room that is mainly used by two adults, you might consider adding two large wing chairs for comfort.

The Material

Choosing the right material for the furniture in your living room is key. Sofa fabrics have different characteristics and it is important to match the fabric to your lifestyle. So, if your household has pets and young children or if your sofa will receive direct sunlight, you will want to prioritize durability with performance fabrics. If your living room furniture will be placed in a home where there are only adults - or if you have a separate formal living room - you can expand your choices to include fabrics like linen which is more delicate. Leather is a popular choice that is beautiful, durable and easy to clean.
