Fall Fashions Head Home

Ever-popular blues are richer & brighter

Ever-popular blues are richer & brighter

Trends from the apparel fashion world arrive in home furnishings and furniture more quickly today than ever. This season, fashion and furniture trends are virtually hand in glove. Along with the perennial fall favorites, burgundy/oxblood and menswear herringbone, Fall 2013 has a wealth of new hues for you.

Cobalt blue leads the field; richer and brighter but just as reliable as navy. Cobalt’s at home with all its complements on the orange side of the color wheel, especially trendy coral. Just as hot is emerald green, a savvy successor to spring 2013’s mint green. These are trends with staying power to make a room look up to date but not faddish.  If you want a little more jolt, try on this fall’s brocades and tribal patterns, animal prints, frisky polka-dots or any mélange of black/white/gray.  Whatever your style, there’s a fall fashion trend to update your home.

Instant chic!

Can an investment piece be totally of-the-moment stylish? You bet. The Cadence chair from Sam Moore combines two trends with staying power: wild zebra stripe plus a true, deep hue.  The fashion Cobalt finish is one of Sam Moore’s standard fashion finishes. The pop of color on the exposed wood of the chair makes this a standout look that coordinates safely with any and all wood tones in your room. Pick a pair and lead the herd!

Trend-right and rich as autumn’s harvest, this grape hue is almost as intoxicating as the Art Deco-inspired lines of the chair itself.  Nailhead trim in one of five finishes, from antiqued to modern and cool, add a brilliant finishing touch.

Sleek lines & teal leather are timeless

This Taraval club chair from Bradington-Young says it all: Show off your sophistication with chairs this sleek-lined and comfortable, sheathed in luxurious blue-green leather that’s fearlessly today and beautifully timeless.  Tone it down with rich chocolate brown, deep evergreen or oxblood; rev it up with sassy coral or golden mustard.

Cowhair is big news this fall

Calfhair, ponyhair and the like are big news this fall, especially when inspired by all things wild and wonderful.  This ample Juno cocktail ottoman combines smooth leather with the season’s hot hair-on hide; a design mix that is both eye-catching and comfortable in timeless neutrals.

Opulent embroidered and chinoiserie looks are hot this fall

Opulent embroidered and chinoiserie looks are hot this fall

Elaborate brocades and embroidered looks are big in apparel fashion this season, inspired by opulent past ages and legendary lands.  Heading up the accessories trend brigade are gleaming golden statement necklaces. In furniture, these glorious but very wearable trends come together in this Rhapsody Bombe Chest from Hooker Furniture, inspired by 18th-century Venetian chinoiserie. Add one or two pieces of the Rhapsody Collection to your room and see how gorgeous a timeless trend can be.
