Spring 2010 Furniture Fashions

2010 Furniture Fashions and TrendsAlong with the changing seasons comes new and exciting furniture trends. This year the key word to sum up the main furniture trend is stimulating!

Leading off this year’s exciting trends are brilliant and daring colors. Neutral colored throw pillows placed against bright colorful sofas with will be the fashion this year. This is the opposite of years past where neutral colored couches with bright pillows were making their ways into everyone’s home.

Enhancing the look of bright colors are grays and metallic accents. These darker colors and styles will allow the bright colors of your furniture to pop even more, increasing their style. Gray is the hot neutral color being used this year to showcase bright furniture.

Not getting left behind in this year’s up and coming trends is comfort and flexibility. More than ever, we need furniture that will serves multi-purposes and maximizes the space in our homes. Modular furniture like sofa recliners, futons, and  pull out beds will be a huge part of this trend.

One major trend that is reinventing itself and making its way around again is Asian styled furniture. Having fallen out of favor of designers decades ago, many Asian influences are starting to peek their way into homes. Japanese art inspired fabrics, gentler than years past, will influence many designs.

Finally, gaining momentum every year, eco-friendly furniture is continuing its growth into the furniture industry.  Environmentally friendly furniture is going to a huge trend for years to come.

So you want to buy Eco-friendly furniture

ECO_FriendlyKeeping up with one of the major trends in today’s economy, the furniture market is now throwing their hat into the ring by offering Eco-friendly furniture to the public. Now, unless you’re an Eco-expert, you might be wondering how furniture made of wood could ever be considered “Eco-friendly.” After all, wood does come from trees….right? Luckily for us there is a set of standards that determine whether or not a piece of furniture can be considered Eco-friendly.
•    The first classification is the most obvious. Is the furniture made of some other material that is not wood-based? Using a material other than wood shows that the manufacture of this product is not using resources from nature for the sole purpose of creating furniture.
•    The second classification is a bit surprising. There is a certification that has been developed by the Forest Stewardship Council that labels a piece of furniture as Eco-Friendly. In order for a piece of furniture to be certified as Eco-friendly, the manufacturer must demonstrate that they are replanting trees in place of trees being cut down. So, just because a piece of furniture is made of wood doesn’t necessarily mean that piece isn’t Eco-friendly.
•    A final classification for Eco-friendly furniture is how much extra comes with it. Many people who are Eco-conscious believe furniture that is kind to the environment should be simple , using the bare minimum for wood, padding, vinyl, fabric, and leather. Simple styles and less-is-more design are key when considering whether a piece of furniture is Eco-friendly.
There you go. If finding furniture that is kind to the environment is very important to you, the above criteria should be helpful in your shopping endeavor.  Furniture doesn’t necessarily needed to be stamped “Eco-friendly” in order for it to be considered kind to the environment. Just look at the extras and decide if it fits into your standards.

Royal Heritage Furniture buyers visit furniture market

Recently, the buying team for Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® attended the semi-annual furniture market in High Point, North Carolina.  This market is where the furniture manufacturers of the world come to show the latest trends for 2010.  We thought we would share with you some of the high points of the High Point market.

Storage BedStorage Beds were all the rage.  The styles made their first appearance about a year ago with only a few manufacturers.  In 2010, this style will be very popular.  Storage beds are great for storing things like seasonal clothes, blankets, pillows, children’s toys, and many other things that would have normally cluttered up your closets or living space.  These unique beds come in various wood finishes and drawer configurations. They accommodate Royal Heritage Mattresses perfectly!




Wood Trim Upholstery is making a comeback this year.  After a Wood Trimmed Upholsterylong absence, this style was quite popular with many innovative manufacturers.  Available in classic traditional, transitional and contemporary frames, they offer a refreshing look when framed in the most popular and attractive wood finishes.  We saw these wood trimmed frames upholstered in a variety of fabrics like linen, microfiber and chenilles.




Chairside TableChairside Tables are one of the most welcome developments in the furniture industry in the last few years.  These convenient tables are about half the size of a normal end table and are perfect for a small room.  Now that we are seeing more master bedrooms with upholstery, these chairside tables allow for more room.  Chairside tables are available in a vast array of styles and wood finishes.  Some tables also come with a variety of unique functions.
