I know that some of you on the forums have access to Furniture Today. While most of their articles are business oriented, their Special Report on exposed wood furniture is making a whole lot of sense.
Exposed wood elements have been showing up more and more in the furniture market place. Once reserved for bedroom and dining room sets, this furniture design trend is getting great positioning in showrooms across the nation.
I think this style shift can be attributed to the IKEA generation and Internet furniture retailers. Homeowners want furniture that retains a high level of value after purchase, and nothing displays this like a well-detailed piece of wood furniture. In the past, this design style was thought to be too expensive, not comfortable enough, and also not kid-friendly enough. Many of these styles, like the Audrey Mist Collection (currently available at Ashley), combine thick cushions with rich wood styling to give you the best of both worlds.
Some other styles to consider include wood legs only and wood trim. The current trend is for a darker wood stain. You can't go wrong with colors like Java, Espresso, Dark Cherry, and Coffee. Open fretwork and tapered legs are also in style, so rounded spindles and bun feet are probably a no-go unless the room calls for it.
Hopefully this helps someone in the market for a new living room.

I'm looking at new living room furniture, and I want something that has a feeling of quality and history. I think this style might be right up my alley!
Very informative, definitely front-page worthy. I have a microfiber couch & loveseat in my own living room that I'm desperate to part ways with. I am already beginning to theme the room to darker wood stains, so I guess that makes me a contributor to the trend.
Really? Do you guys do that?

:) Thank You

If you read into it a little bit, you'll see that the rounded spokes are out in favor of squared accents. Leave out the leg taper and minimize any extra adornment and you could have a contemporary look with relative ease.

I really like dark exposed wood, it's good to hear that its the trend. Not that trends are THAT important. I personally have a thing for Bamboo furniture, and it can look really nice in the darker tones. Most people know the light bamboo, and tend to group bamboo as a sort of chopstick color. There is a great photo of some dark bamboo furniture here.
Thanks for the great stuff Pat!
OMG Furniturefriend, the dark bamboo in that picture looks sooooo hot! It reminds me of a chocolate jungle, oooh... I have never seen, nor did I even know this type of bamboo existed--I mean, how many people have that in their homes? I have to tell my mom about it because this is up her ally for sure. Thx
