3 Modern Furniture Trends You Won't Want To Miss

Investing in modern furniture can seem like a bit of a risk -- after all, how do you know whether the "modern" furniture you purchase now will still look modern in six months? Or, worse, how do you know that it won't look hopelessly outdated, like the bright neons of the '70s and '80s, or the all-white, all-the-time color "scheme" from the late '00s? If you're looking for a few modern furniture trends that have enough classic chic to them that they won't go out of fashion in the time it takes to transport them home, then here's what you need to know.

Curves in all the right places

The boxy, future-tech designs of the 2000s have been slowly fading out over the first part of the 2010s, but it can be officially said that square is, well, square. In right now are the curved, enticing lines of a Roman-style lounging chair, or half-moon couches. You don't have to go all in with this trend -- if you really despise doughnut-shaped chairs and love seats, there's no reason to make yourself miserable -- but straying away from clear-cut squares and rectangles and learning how to bed can go a long way towards giving a room a more modern look.

Give 'em the ol' razzle dazzle

A bit of glitz and glam are in, and while you don't need to cover everything in sequins and sparkles, adding a touch of high-end glamour can make even the most traditional room seem more up-to-date. Glamorous takes on old favorites -- metallic leather chairs, sea glass coffee table toppers -- are a great way to spice up your furniture without going overboard or having to rebut everything in any given room. If you want to incorporate more than one trend, try using a floral or natural stone motif along with the glitz, which will instantly update your look.

Table for statement, please

Whether you go super-trendy with a large round table or even stick to a more traditional wooden one, big, statement tables are one of the hottest trends in furniture this year. Not only do these tables provide a focal point for your kitchen and/or dining room, but they also give as much functionality as any piece of furniture can. Whether your table is used for displaying work of art (for an on-trend display, try tasteful floral arrangements) or as a gathering place for you and your family, this is a trend that will not only keep your home looking modern, but also give heaps of function to your fashion.
