Light-Toned Wood Makes a Bold Statement
Light-toned wood is making a comeback. Paste Magazine sheds light on the new trend: “For many years, dark tones like mahogany and cherry dominated the wood furniture market. This year caramel and honey tones will take the spotlight. The softer look blends with any design style and keeps furnishings from feeling heavy or fussy.”
Lightly colored wood, including knotted pine, works nicely with 2014’s other hottest trends. Burnished brass complements light wood particularly well, says Cedar Valley Home and Garden. Radiant Orchid accents paired up with muted light-toned wood also makes a bold statement.
The hottest interior design trends of 2013 pack a lot of promise. Revamp your home. Start with understated colors like grays and taupe or muted wood. Along with rich gold accessories and artwork, add Radiant Orchid accents to complete the look.
