 Furniture style
The traditional style of furniture has really slid
in popularity in recent years. It's still in the top
four, but definitely moving down the list.

The Four Most Popular Styles are:

•Rustic Farmhouse.
•Modern.
•Glam.
•Traditional.
 Furniture style
Modern home décor is all about super clean lines. Nothing
fussy. It’s no thrills, no fluff. It also tends to be brighter colors:
more navy, more jewel tones. Modern furniture might have a
simple metal leg, a real tight back. It could be tufted, but with
simple, tiny little arms. The furniture tends to be not as deep or
as big as other styles. And when it comes to accessories, a
Modern house tends to have less artwork, less pillows – just a
more minimalistic approach.

Traditional home décor has been skirted sofas, English
arms and tea cushions. More of your Chippendale and
cherry wood and mahogany. But today’s Traditional
furniture is more toned down. It still has that old traditional
feel to it, but the look has been updated so it’s not so
18th Century looking. It’s been modernized to a degree.
This tends to be your darker woods and canopy beds.
Brands like Hinkle Harris and Baker – they all lean
towards traditional, but with some modernization.
 Furniture style
What really defines Rustic Farmhouse is the wood – the
live edge, the natural wood tone. So many people are
doing the shiplap, or wood ceilings, having visible beams –
decorating with a lot of natural wood. That is the Rustic
Farmhouse look. When it comes to Rustic Farmhouse
accessories, everything is geared towards trees, branches,
even pottery – anything that is more of a natural product.
You have nothing that feels like it’s fake or a fake product.
Even in the living rooms, you’re looking at more natural
colors, fabrics and fibers, including leather.
 Furniture style
For instance:
I think what has made the Rustic Farmhouse looks so
popular in home décor is you see so much of it on HDTV
these days. Magnolia Home and all those shows really
show a lot of that style. And, I think it’s just more
comfortable. More people like that look and live in that
lifestyle today.
 Furniture style
Glam home décor is more sparkly and shimmery. It has more
beaded stuff, more fur and tends to be a bit more girly. It has a
more “bling” feel to it. The colors are softer and tend towards
the pastels. Blush is really popular, along with the soft greens
and lavender. Accessories will have lots of chandeliers, lots of
crystals.
