 <\/p>\n

Design trends may come and go, but one thing remains consistent \u2013 they’re always cyclical. Keeping in mind that the most
\nmemorable interiors are a mix of old and new, it’s easy to infuse your space with a few key pieces that capture your unique
\nsense of style. Whether you’re looking for a complete makeover or want to refresh your current setup, these are the design
\ntrends ready to shine as we ring in 2023.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Curve<\/h2>\n

\"Baldwin<\/p>\n

Organically shaped furniture with curved lines will reign supreme in 2023. Deviating from their straight-lined counterparts,
\nrounded furniture \u2013 especially sofas and armchairs \u2013 peaked in popularity during the Postmodern movement of the \u201970s and \u201980s.
\nAnd since everything old is new again, these shapely silhouettes are making a considerable comeback.<\/p>\n

Curved furniture breaks up the monotony of straight lines (think rectangular coffee tables and consoles, square end tables) and
\nsoftens the overall feel of your space with fluid forms.<\/p>\n

If you want to inject some style without totally committing to the trend, a curved accent chair like our Baldwin Swivel Chair<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span>is perfect. A swivel feature makes it extra functional \u2013 bonus points for its durable, kid-proof upholstery that resists virtually
\nall stains and spills.<\/p>\n

In the Black<\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/p>\n

There’s a reason why the little black dress never goes out of style. It’s classic, versatile and ideal for every occasion.
\nThe same can be said about using black as an accent color.<\/p>\n

We’re shifting away from all those safe neutrals \u2013 white included \u2013 with the pendulum swinging toward darker tones.<\/p>\n

Black has the unique ability to instantly bring a sense of depth and drama to a room. It works well with every other
\ncolor and can either sit quietly in the background or take center stage.
\nIt’s a shade that feels right at home amongst lighter-toned pieces, too. And you don’t need a lot. Just a touch can add
\nthe right amount of contrast for dramatic interest.<\/p>\n

A piece like our St. Armand Entertainment Console<\/a><\/strong><\/span> grounds the room with a bold dose of dark and light, with its
\nblack base and brushed pewter metal hardware. Crafted of solid acacia, the console features a lightly distressed multi-step
\nfinish for an authentic, artistic character. Adjustable shelves help keep media components organized, while a ventilated
\nback panel prevents them from overheating.<\/p>\n

Playing with Pattern<\/h2>\n

\"Alexandria<\/p>\n

If there were an award for patterns, stripes would win for the easiest to get along with. Available in every scale and color,
\nthere is nothing more visually pleasing than a perfectly balanced stripe. It’s a pattern that adjusts to fit the space looking
\nequally at home in a modern farmhouse as it does a cozy beach cottage.<\/p>\n

Almost any motif can mix and match with striped furniture, from checks and plaids to florals and paisleys. The key is to select
\nthe correct color combinations and pattern proportions to create a cohesive look.<\/p>\n

With its bold bands of blue, our Alexandria Sofa<\/a><\/strong><\/span> offers the perfect foundation to pile on pillows with a contrasting design in
\nthe same soothing shades. Classic rolled arms add a touch of tradition, while slipcovers give it a relaxed, laid-back look. We
\nespecially love the flexibility of changing out the slipcovers for washing or seasonal updates.<\/p>\n

Work an Angle<\/h2>\n

\"Volker<\/p>\n

Sculptural silhouettes and clean lines have always played a starring role in modern design, but the geometric furniture
\ntrend for 2023 takes it a step further. Strong shapes (think square, circle, triangle, oval, hexagon) can freshen up a space
\nin an unexpected way, whether in the form of a straight-backed sofa or a dramatic light fixture.<\/p>\n

Geometric design plays on the minimalist theory of less is more, offering a clever way to introduce visual interest to a space
\nwithout becoming overbearing. At once trendy and timeless, this aesthetic adds character to a room without even trying.<\/p>\n

Illustrated in sharp angles and faceted sides, the Volker Coffee Table<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is a study in geometry. Displaying gorgeous
\nvariations in tonality and grain, it’s topped with mango veneer in a sunburst pattern and finished in burnished
\nhoney with a subtle light gray glazing.<\/p>\n

Art-Deco Encore<\/h2>\n

\"Organic<\/p>\n

Characterized by bold geometric lines, rich colors and decadent details, the art-deco movement reached its peak
\npopularity in western Europe in the 1920s. It’s a style that artfully balances glamour with symmetrical design,
\nusing a luxurious mix of materials like plush velvet, sleek marble, smoked glass and lacquer to make a bold statement.<\/p>\n

This design movement is enjoying a resurgence as we head into 2023 in the form of sleek metal bases, eye-catching inlays
\nand smooth marble surfaces that play up that Great Gatsby-era allure.<\/p>\n

The Organic Modern Brighton Chair<\/a><\/span><\/strong> exudes an art-deco elegance with an Italian twist. The creamy linen-blend seating
\nappears to float within a curved silver-finished steel base that forms a sharp V-shape in the back.<\/p>\n

Destined to become your favorite sidekick, the Butler Accent Table<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is perfectly proportioned with a small scale that tucks
\nin easily just about anywhere. A white marble base with exquisite veining supports a brushed brass-plated steel stem.
\nA plate of thick, tempered glass provides a perch to hold your favorite 5 o’clock cocktail.<\/p>\n
