Niche Modern Home

Not too many years ago we saw clients shun nearly all aspects of colors in their homes. They were tired of every room being saturated with color…The Oriental rugs, the hunter greens, golds, burgundies…Not to mention the dark, heavy mahogany furnishings, heavy window treatments and of course dark granite kitchens and baths.

That trend gave way to simpler interiors, brimming with crisp white slipover sofas. These sofas brought a new era of comfortable furniture that was easy to care for, relaxed and easy to care for. The mahogany furniture was replaced with painted furniture, lighter rugs and simpler window treatments. Grey also dominated these interiors for over a decade.

So now, this is where I see things headed…

While the classic white slipcovered sofas still rule, we are seeing a definite trend to clients embracing measured amounts of COLOR!

Not only is color making its way back into homes, so are darker stained furniture, with a nod to a more traditional tone.

We are also seeing a slight shift from super casual spaces, to more refined interiors. Our clients are looking for a home that is comfortable of course, but more polished. Slipcovered sofas are more tailored and fitted, fabrics have more textures and sheen to them.

At the past 3 markets we have attended this year we are seeing more earth tones, browns, saturated colors, rich fabrics such as velvets, prints and boucle texture. Warm leathers such as cognac and whiskey colors are in the mix too. Rich colors such as peacock, deep golds, rust and green rounds out the spectrum.

Rooms are becoming more “moody” too. Sumptuous velvets, sink in comfortable sofas and chairs, and rooms that feel intimate and connected. I believe this stems from our lifestyle in the Covid era, where we all were living in every inch of our homes, and that closeness brought comfort to our lives and families. During this time, we learned what worked in our homes, the spaces, working from home and how we could make it better. Our homes have become our refuge, our haven and these warmer interiors reflect the mood so many people have when they furnish and update their spaces.

Metals are in furnishings too. Aged, darker golds, black and polished nickel are the classics for hardware, knobs, and lighting.

Look for more use of pattern in chairs, accents and wallpaper.

PLEASURE POOLS, INC.

In the 50 years that I have been building swimming pools, I have seen them become an integral part of everyday life in middle America. If you don't have one, I am sure that you have been a part of social gatherings where they were the focal point of the event. Today, a trend has already begun, and in my opinion will continue to grow, towards a demand for small, more sensible pools, that fit into more family's budgets, installs in a very short period of time, yet still offers all of the health and social benefits of the larger, more expensive pools.
