Lamps Plus has announced the top home decorating and interior design trends for 2014."Consumers are looking for fresh looks and new ways of decorating,"offers Manja Swanson,Chief Creative Officer at Lamps Plus."This year there isn't one dominant trend,there's something for everyone out there."So what can consumers expect to see in 2014?
"Comfort is in this year,"explains Swanson."From the cool palette and oversized patterning of a country cottage to the muted pastels and traditional elegance of a refined French look,decorating your home is about creating a retreat where you can easily spend time alone or entertain an entire room full of guests."Look to button tufted wingback chairs and luxuriously scrolling white finish chandeliers,to help get the look.
Style mash-ups are also expected to feature heavily throughout the year."For an approach that's eclectic yet chic,combining a$5 flea market find and a$500 crystal chandelier is more than just doable,it's sensational,"says Swanson.In the eclectic interior,a Mid-century Modern chair is right at home alongside an ornate Georgian candelabrum."It's about playful colors and mixing and matching what you truly love."
Another mix-and-match trend is the global look.A fusion of influences from across the world,this well-informed style is more composed and sophisticated than ever,incorporating earth tones and carefully selected patterns and textures.Observes Swanson,says,"I love this look because it lets anyone incorporate discoveries from their own travels into their home decor.It really is a style that anyone can have fun with and put their own personal stamp on."
