Design 2018: What’s In Store

By Jacqueline Miller

As things change every year, you can also count on home design and décor trends to change as well. For 2018, bold color is booming. Deep blues, tonal reds, Millennial pinks, and black and white are in. Copper accents appear in everything from walls to appliances. Brass is the new brushed nickel. Organic curves top sharp-edge designs. If you’re looking to change your world, here are some ideas from local professionals to make your decisions easier and less stressful.  design

When it comes to finding iconic pieces of furniture, one home furnishings store is light years ahead of the rest – Home Resource on Central Avenue in Sarasota’s trendy Rosemary District. design

It was here we found Poltrona Frau’s majestic Archibald Armchair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. The chair’s undulating leather is embellished along the edges and external surfaces of the upholstery with contrast stitching, giving it a refined appeal. It has elegant folds in the backrest, which makes it a very inviting chair. You can add the matching ottoman, and choose from a variety of colored leathers, as well as the chair’s back headrest height (low, high or king). design

Founded in 1912, Poltrona Frau, which makes most of its furniture by hand, is known for its exhaustive quality standards, and uses a 21-step leather tanning process where the full-grain leather is dyed through, so a surface scratch won’t reveal a lining underneath. Most of the company’s products are made by hand.design
