Bring the Outdoors, Indoors
Now that summer is firmly coming to an end, we can all look forward to the fall. There is nothing more lovely than walking through crunchy leaves and wrapping up warm in scarves and jumpers. But, fall also signifies the end of using our gorgeous garden furniture. Who made the rules to say that you cannot bring the outside, inside? Rattan furniture is proving to be very popular with many. Plus, it is easy to maintain and fun too. It looks classy and far from mismatched. Your room can look positively summery with a vast range of rattan furniture. Why should your yard get all of the fun? If you are not a big fan of the rattan range, you can treat your living room to a wicker makeover. In fact, interior designers all over the world are heralding this as an exceptional look.
Old School Glamour
Remember the days of smoking jackets and ornate furniture? Us too. It was old school glamour at its very best. Velvet brocade chairs and dark, rich wood is the perfect way to update your home and inject some glamour into your living space. The best thing about this trend is that you can shop at thrift stores for good, quality second-hand pieces. You can revamp the upholstery to make sure that it fits in with the scheme of your home. Glamour doesn’t have to be expensive, but it’s always nice to have a room that reminds you of an old Hollywood black and white movie. It’s chic and elegant, but isn’t going to break the bank.
Smaller is Better
