The sitting room is the home environment where you spend most of your time, it is the meeting place for the family, but also the perfect room to welcome your guests.
Because of its great importance, the sitting room has to be furnished in the right way in order to be comfortable and make people socialize, but, at the same time, it has to reflect the personnality and the taste of those who live in it.
In order to keep in step with the latest design trends and create a fashionable sitting room, fairs and magazines suggest materials, finishes and colours for 2017 very precisely.
Marble
Marble, which is proposed for tables and small tables of all shapes and sizes, is the real protagonist of this year’s trends. What enhances this material in its thousands of veins are the bases which can be very artistic and elaborate or, on the contrary, strictly minimal. These marble tops have got a very thin thickness with soft lines and natural colours.
Metallic finishes
Metallic finishes and details, bronze and gold above all, are unfailing elements in trendy sitting rooms. From the table legs to the furniture outlines, metallic elements give light to the furnishings with a luxury chic touch.
Velvet
Chairs, armchairs and sofas in velvet for an elegant, refined sitting room. The softness of this fabric makes padded furniture even more comfortable enhancing their soft shapes.
Tropical
Tropical printings and patterns to be matched with Greenery, the colour of the year, but also with the softest colours of rose, sky blue and pearl-grey. So welcome naturalistic patterns for exotic wallpapers and furnishing fabrics.
Total black
2017 is the year of equipped walls and large bookshelves, strictly black. The clean, essential design give lightness to the structure which can be sometimes finished in glass, leather or metallic details. A hi-tech touch is absolutely unfailing with large, in sight television screens and other technological accessories which are the protagonists of the furnishings.
