If you are trying to decide whether to use a Roman Shade or a Roller Shade on a living room window; it would depend on the material with which its made and the kind of look it lends to the space. Both can be inside or outside mount. Roman Shades are generally made with fabrics such as linen, cotton or polyester and they have a nice soft look to them. You can definitely line a Roman Shade with a blackout liner fabric if you are looking for room darkening functionality, or stick to privacy liners if you want a simple privacy filter. Overall because its made with regular linens and cottons, it tends to have a softer look and feel. It's a timeless look depending on the style and fabric, the colour and the shade style (flat or cascade), etc. It can look classic yet contemporary. Roller Shades are made with specific types of vinyl or polyester that are usually blackout coated or partially coated. The material is much stiffer, and because of this, roller shades lend a cleaner, tighter look to the window and the space. Roller Shades are generally more efficient at filtering out light. If you are looking for something more modern, simple and minimalist for your living room, go with roller shades.
Sofa Design Trends for this year are all about the 70s and 80s with olive greens, mustard yellows, and golds, and unconventional shapes like rounded arms trending strongly. We will also be seeing more interesting tufting details in sofa design. Its a look that has that earthiness of the 70s, and luxe feel of the 80s. This year people will be embracing comfort and functionality in the home, as apposed to striving for perfection. We're also seeing a lot of textures in cover materials, things like velvet, thicker basket weave, and full grain leather which is really soft and buttery, but feels very textural at the same time. There is a growing demand for good quality sofa sleepers that don't look like sofa sleepers, which is believed to be driven by the baby boomer generation.
When it comes to colour trends for 2020, think heritage and tradition flipped on its head. Historically, classic colours are being reinvigorated with brighter tones and hues. We see a vast array of greens, blues, oranges, reds, and yellows ranging from herbal greens to burning bright reds, saffron yellows to navy blues, and orange peel to aquas. Light and Natural wood tones will continue to be popular in homes this year, but we will see more punches of pattern (such as chevron or herringbone) injected into them.
Furniture made from reclaimed wood is big for 2020. It is a sustainable product that lasts for years. Flea Market finds of old furniture and décor are good choices as well. The reuse of these materials helps our environment. Ebay, Etsy, your local Buy and Sell, are some websites to find these treasures.
