The Watch Word for Home Decor: Eclectic

WARREN, Mich., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest trends for home interiors are taking a path less traveled. "The Look" for 2010 is "Eclectic" -- a word used at Spring Market last week, the furniture industry's equivalent to fashion week, held in High Point North Carolina.

Art Van Furniture's team of 12 seasoned buyers scoured Market looking for fresh trends and great buys. The trends are exhilarating for anyone who has varied tastes in furniture styles and now has permission to mix.

"The rules in home furnishings are there are no rules," said Amelia Ellenstein, VP of Visual Merchandising for Art Van. "We saw a lot of rustic tables alongside contemporary sofas, elegant crystal chandeliers above a rustic dining group, and the marriage of materials that aren't usually associated with each other -- metals and woods with stone or glass, for example."

Other trends for 2010 include:

• Grey is the new beige.
• Wood tones span from medium to light and can be mixed in one piece or in different pieces within one room
• Inlays verses carvings for traditional furniture.
• Color accents to look for -- peacock blue and apple green.
• Tones of watery blue/green, berry spice and bright berry in fabrics.
• Tweed, corduroy, chenille, linen, ultra-suede, and velvet
• Shapes in wood furniture design including geometric cutouts and asymmetrical designs

Getting "The Look" is easy at Art Van Furniture. For more information on the latest trends in home decor or to pick up your copy of "The Look," visit your local Art Van store or www.artvan.com.
