Navy Is The New Black


By  Shop Grand Central 




In 2017, navy blue will be the preferred alternative to black. Whether your aim is to accent your room or to paint your walls, navy blue will add a modern twist, while lending a traditional feel to your home. That being said, it makes this color the perfect candidate to pair well with almost any color scheme and will add a certain sophistication to your room, without giving the eye an impression of being small. Let’s take a look at how navy blue can define your living room with the finesse you find in a picture perfect home décor magazine. 

Put first things first. The fact is people get tired of flashy-colored sofas, loveseats and chairs. If you’re not looking to change your furniture for a while and want to avoid cringing when you see the color once the fad is over, then sticking to a neutral color is the way to go. Picture a beautiful navy upholstered sofa in your living room. Just like the perfect Italian tailored suit, it will fit your space like a glove. The Laurel Premier sofa is representative of this look with its beautiful refined upholstery.  




Accent Table: 
Want to mix things up along with your navy blue theme? Open up your room to this bold architectural accent table. The painted blue drawer contrasted with the dusty oak finish will bring a youthful twist on midcentury modern design. Its low profile and practical drawer make this piece the perfect addition to a small space. Pair it with a mirror in an entrance or place it in a living room as an end table. Either look is equally beautiful!


Finally, the room is never complete without its accessories. Add a rug such as the Santa Monica or Bel Air to properly frame your space.   




Now that you have your information about how navy blue will bring sophistication to your home, you can decipher whether this is the look you would like to achieve. Navy blue is the new black – the little black dress you will have in your home for many years to come.

Nailhead detail is becoming a popular trend on other types of furniture. In 2017, furniture designers are welcoming unique nailhead patterns that defy the traditional accent on upholstered pieces such as sofas and headboards. This year, it will make its way onto credenzas, storage chests and even certain light fixtures. Now you can have multiple pieces of furniture with nailhead detail to add some personality and style to your space! Let’s take a look at some pieces to enter the spotlight.


Occasional tables:

Add a hint of glamour to your home with a sophisticated occasional table, adorned of nailhead detail. These occasional tables defy the typical look with their intersecting nailhead design, making them one of a kind. In addition to their uniqueness, these trunks each hold extra-large storage to meet your organizational needs. To make it complete, a durable metal hand and padlock latch finish the glamourous look.



Ottomans & benches:
Draw attention to any room with a magnificent classy nailhead bench. The linen seat decorated with studded detailing creates a beautiful accent bench. This particular bench is combined with an ash wood and an x frame which gives way to a mixed media look. Also, lifting the seat reveals a hidden compartment, which is perfect for extra storage. Surely, anyone can appreciate this hidden functionality!




The classic nailhead upholstered bed:
Add an impressive centerpiece to your bedroom with an elegant blend of linen upholstery and a nailhead trim on your bed. This combination creates a beautiful contemporary style, with an uncluttered look and a sophistication that will not likely go out of style! Pick a neutral tone, and you’ll be set for years to come.

Marble On Your Furniture


By  Shop Grand Central 





Perhaps one of the biggest home design trends to make an appearance in 2017 will undoubtedly be marble. Design experts predict that marble will not only become an increasingly sought after material for countertops, flooring and backsplash, but there will be a surge in demand for household furniture and items. In fact, some of the staple furniture pieces will be occasional tables. Let’s take a look at how the marble trend prediction will affect this category of furniture.


The sofa table
As you know, the sofa table compliments your sofa, by conveniently hugging its back. It adds depth to your living room, all while offering extra storage space. If marble is mixed in the equation, you get a beautiful rectangular simplistic design whose form follows function and style appeal. The popular marble sofa table features a marble top and a sleek textured bronze metal leg design.



The end table
Bear in mind the same idea for the end table. If you loved the picture you painted behind your sofa, then you will surely find an end table appealing as well. Except this time around you have an option between a round or square design. Picture a beautiful marble end table by your sofa or loveseat’s side. Let these images speak for themselves.



 



Nesting cocktail tables
Last but not least, the round nesting cocktail tables will project elegance right in the center of your conversation space, as it will tie together your living room seating. Not to mention it will serve you well to rest refreshments for your guest! Even on days that they will stand alone, the focal point of your living room will embody a certain refinement.



Adding these pieces in your living room is the perfect and stylish solution to creating a touch of elegance. From white to grey and any shade in between, marble paired with steel will capture much of the refinement seen in some of the most beautifully designed homes.
