New Creative Wood Furniture

If you have a country theme with a lot of wood furniture in your home or just like the look of wood and enjoy that natural feel to your home, you may be thinking of adding a few new pieces into your home this year. Maybe you want to spice up a room or two or just think it's time for some new furniture because the old pieces have worn out. No matter the reason you are considering purchasing new wood furniture, take a little time out before you buy to see what is in style this year and not only fill your home with warm wood pieces but also stylish ones.

Minimalist Or Indulgent

You have two ways to go when picking out the particular design of furniture you want this year. And the two of them go from one extreme to the other.

The first is minimalist. What this trend means is that you want as small and unassuming of a piece of furniture that you can find that will suit the need at hand and nothing more. The focus here is on function not on the look of the piece. Since we are talking about wood, this will be an easy order to fill, as there are many 'basic' wood pieces of furniture out there without any extra bells and whistles.

The other way to go is the other end of the spectrum - flamboyant and indulgent. In wood this is also not hard to find. Since wood is such as great carvable material, you will be able to find wood that has been worked into beautiful and fantastic designs. You can also look for extra special accents like silver and gold gilding, crystal accents and exotic veneer inlays.

More Fabric

Depending on the type of furniture pieces you are looking for, this may or may not be a trend you can focus on. The trend is for more fabric on pieces of furniture. In chairs instead of just the seat cushion being made of fabric, you may want to look for an entire piece made this way with little to no wood showing. The wood in this case is more there to be a frame than to show off.

Metal

Another of the 2010 furniture trends is for metal to be a part of your furniture. Wood and metal generally get along very well so you should not have a problem incorporating iron, brass, copper or any of the other metals into a design that will not only be a useful piece of furniture but add a little shine to the room.

Experimental Shapes

Finally, if you have a good creative side, you may want to consider unique and experimental shapes in the pieces. Since it is easy enough to draw and cut wood furniture into any shape, there are all kinds of unique wood tables, chairs and other pieces out there on the market. Take a look around the room you are going to decorate and choose one that will fit in with the room and maybe even give it a little more personality.
