Call me at 847.275.0277 to discuss what’s in store for you!

ALL DESIGN TRENDS may bring to mind hues of orange, plaid prints, and harvest accents— but this season it’s time to think outside of the square box. According to design blogger Jane at Home ( janeathome.com), as the weather cools, curves will stay hot! You’ll see them everywhere: curved chairs and sofas, rounded edges on coffee tables, and curved accent pieces like mirrors. Designers are also building them into interiors as interesting architectural features too, such as arched doorways, curved cabinet fronts, or even curved countertops for your kitchen island. Curves lend a softer, more modern look to a space and can be mixed in with any style of existing decor. You don’t have to spend lots of money; there are plenty of simple ways to bring this trend to your home through accent pieces like mirrors, stools, coffee tables, dining chairs, ottomans, and even smaller decorative items like orbs and lamps (see photo at top right—adding ontrend furniture and accessories is something we do for every home we stage). n

PRO TIP: Curved shapes lend a softer, more modern look to a space and can be mixed in easily with any decor style.
