1. Sectional. Sectional sofas have gained popularity in recent years because they can be set up in a wide variety of ways. Some choose to set these sofas up in an “L” shape in the corner of a room, while others like to separate the sections into a more conversational positioning.
2. Sleeper. Sleeper sofas are popular because they are a two-way purpose. They are used as seating, and the cushions can be removed to expose a foldout bed.
3. Loveseat. Loveseats are fashionable because they offer added seating but don’t take up as much room as a traditional sofa. Loveseats are designed for a maximum of two people.
4. Traditional. The traditional three-seat sofa is still the most well-liked. These sofas come in a broad range of colors and fabrics, including microfiber and leather. Some have high backs, and some have removable cushions, while others do not.
5. Chaise. Chaise sofas are a current twist on the sectional sofa. chaise sofas have one long cushion that sits at an angle from the rest of the couch. Chaise couches allow for users to lie comfortably without the edge of the cushions nudging them.

1. Turn the Tables. Modify plain tabletop with a two-tone color block or a graphic. Pick two coordinating shades for a contemporary feel.
2. Leg-Up. A simple dip of paint on chair and table legs can brighten things up – consider mixing up a different color of a tonal palette across various pieces and varying the length of the dipped area for a zestful dining set. Or go back to basics and keep part of your piece as bare wood. Strip back one leg to reveal some of the raw material. Make it even more distinctive by contrasting the natural wood with a darker tone.
3. Cupboard Love. Adding a twist to cupboard interiors is a neat way to liven up your home and bring an unexpected element to everyday furniture. So every time you open the doors you’ll be greeted with a flare of your favored shade.
4. Edge Ahead. Find forgotten and overlooked edges and think about how you can make them stick out. Door lips, the edges of tables or the edge of a chair can be regained with a quick coat of paint. Use a small roller for extra speedy application.
5. Sunset Boulevard. When it comes to noticeable paint effects, flat wardrobe doors are full of potential – so make the most of them. Try out a coordinating ombré color blend using the Color of the Year, Copper Blush. It keeps your space on-trend and up to date, and it’ll bring a clear ambiance to your room, as well.

1. Consider Symmetry. When creating a classic look one of the main things to consider is symmetry. The human eye is drawn to symmetry and balance which means that no matter what happens with decorating styles, symmetrical rooms will always be pleasant to look at. Symmetrical rooms naturally create a sense of balance, so let your eye dictate where things should go.
2. Create a Focal Point. Much like symmetry, focal points are important because they’re pleasing to the eye and give it a place to rest. Focal points can be created with artwork, architectural elements, or pieces of furniture such as media units. But whatever you do make sure that you’ve only got one—competing for focal points are confusing to the subconscious and create a sense of chaos.
3. Use Classic Patterns. Part of what gives a room timeless style is the use of classic patterns such as damasks, botanicals, stripes, and plaids.
4. Stay Away From Trends. Trends are anything but timeless. In fact, it’s rare for any trend to last more than a few years, and they pretty much have built-in expiry dates. If you want a timeless look keep it small and keep it subtle.
5. Use Quality Items. Without a doubt, the number one thing you can do to create a timeless room is to use good quality furniture, fabrics, and accessories. That’s not to say you need to spend your life savings decorating your home, but you should always buy the best quality you can afford.
No matter what your preference is when it comes to color and style, it’s possible to decorate in such a way that your home will have a timeless quality. Follow the above rules and you’ll be set for years to come!
