<\/a><\/p>\nWhile light and bright floral prints have dominated the d\u00e9cor scene over the summer, darker floral prints are slowly making their way into the spotlight this month, adding a touch of chic urbanity to home decor.<\/p>\n
Black is tricky. Most people are afraid of it and use it sparingly with small accent pieces or accessories, but we see a shift on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Dark floral prints are paving the way for change by bringing a touch of lightness to the dark; something every d\u00e9cor-lover is always on the hunt for: Balance.<\/p>\n
If a black wall is too bold for your taste, darker floral prints are an on-trend way to explore your gothic side without going overboard, serving as an elegant backdrop for bedrooms, living rooms and dens.<\/p>\n
Wallpaper and upholstery are absorbing this trend to the fullest, so find a roll or swatch that speaks to you and give it a try this month.<\/p>\n
!nspire tip: This trend makes a big impact. If you\u2019re apprehensive, try wallpapering a small accent wall or back of a bookshelf to see its effect before taking it further.<\/p>\n
September Trend #2: Oxblood Red<\/h3>\n
Every month has a hot color to watch out for and September\u2019s go-to trendy hue is Oxblood Red.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve seen this color bring a flush of excitement to several rooms, and surprisingly to white or neutral kitchens, acting as a spicy accent tone in the form of coloured glass bowls, luminous light fixtures, roman shades and even stemware.<\/p>\n
But this luxe color isn\u2019t tied to the kitchen. Oxblood sofas, stools and accent chairs are out-glamoring beige furniture at lightning speed.<\/p>\n
Our Zola Lift Stool is a luxurious option that embraces the Oxblood trend and transforms any home bar into a relaxing retreat after a long day of work. The bucket style seat with thick cushioning provides sturdy support, while the diamond stitched pattern adds sophisticated style found exclusively in modern seating.<\/p>\n
With fall on its way, we expect to see the return of rich, dark hues, and we\u2019re excited to start things off right with the sensuous vibe of Oxblood red.<\/p>\n Farm chic is making a comeback! Although there\u2019s been mixed reviews on this trend, those who love it are embracing it this month and using it in unexpected places.<\/p>\n Hide has climbed up onto sofas, chairs and even tables and consoles, creating the urge to pet the furniture all month long and throughout the cooler months ahead.<\/p>\n Some d\u00e9cor companies are even offering custom upholstery jobs catering to the time of year: shorter fur in the summer (think: silky hide table runners) or longer and curlier in the winter (think: shag pillows and carpets.)<\/p>\n This faux-fur and faux-hide trend adds a touch of masculinity and texture to any room in need of a quick lift. It\u2019s especially popular in dens, man-caves and cozy cottages with wood trim and wool accents.<\/p>\n For a feminine touch, try incorporating delicate farm accents like mason jars and candles for a whimsical feel against the ruggedness of the animal hide.<\/p>\n If you really want to push the boundaries of this trend, choose a statement piece like the Angus ii Accent Chair In Black<\/a>. The stylish metal stud detailing, faux leather back and wingback design will win over even the most skeptical design lovers \u2013 living proof that faux-hide can be chic!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nSeptember Trend #3: Hair On Hide<\/h3>\n
