Welcoming Spring with Bright Colours

Tuesday, 29 March 2011

2011 promises to be the fashion year of beautiful, bright primary colours.  The colours of the Mediterranean will also heavily influence the fashion industry’s designs. This is exciting for the modern furniture industry as in terms of furniture the sleek high gloss pieces in black and white always look stunning when accented with bright primary coloured accessories.  Obviously red is the most striking primary colour in our furniture portfolio and the red high-gloss furniture is already becoming extremely popular.  People are searching for fun pieces that distinguish their home as a modern, stylish living space – and are using red furniture pieces to express themselves.

For those people 'afraid' of using the primary colours – red, blue and yellow as a main furniture colour theme there are some striking pieces that will help include splashes of colour to a home.  Our contemporary furniture portfolio is heavily influenced by the finest contemporary furniture designers and there are some amazing dining chairs, bar stools, chest of drawers and tallboys that can add a dramatic colour accent to a room.

For instance to create a stunning dining room area consider the Italian designed, Stella High Gloss Dining Table in white and team with the striking Noah Leather Dining Chair in orange or purple. The Noah dining chairs will also create a dramatic dining experience for you and your guests when set against the Ibisco Black Glass Dining Table.  Similarly the use of splashes of colour in the lounge can be achieved quite easily by introducing colour in individual pieces.  The Hip Hop Modern Glass Nest of Tables in Red Glass will create that all essential colour in living areas – they look remarkable in both black and white furniture settings.

The Mediterranean colours again are quite easy to introduce into the home – in the kitchen, bar stools in orange or green achieve that Mediterranean look; in the bedroom the Mediterranean ambience can be created by using bed linen and scatter cushions in the gorgeous aquas, oranges, golds and greens that all influence the colours of the Med.  The Marie Fabric Bed designed in Italy also achieves that essential Mediterranean feel to the bedroom – in dark teal or magnificent mulberry the design brings the Med straight into the room.  The bedroom is a wonderful room in which to bring a variety of materials – bright and bold colours and sheer fabrics are dominating the material ranges and these help add that accent of bright spring colour.

The UK Furniture & Design Industry Market
Monday, 14 February 2011

There is a strong link between the furniture market and the housing market in the UK. In times of economic insecurity especially, this link can be clearly identified. As the housing market stagnates it would seem logical to presume that the furniture market would decline. There are signs that the furniture market has indeed declined up to 2010 but there is a confidence that this is not likely to continue as people begin to redesign their existing home rather than move to a new property.  Read more...
