Spirit of Individuality

Changing the style of your home can be a gradual process, built around specific furniture or individual architectural details within a home. Today it is very easy for people to get bogged down or stuck in a style rut, especially in the home. Interior design trends change as often as fashions in clothes, but it’s a bit harder to change the style of your home like you would a pair of jeans.

Joanna Whitworth, co-founder of Covermyfurniture.com says: “We’re seeing more decorating trends following fashion. In the past, fashion was very minimal, now it’s more established. So today’s rules say it’s okay to mix styles, for example, to put in a clean-line sofa in a more traditional setting and visa versa. People are no longer pigeonholed into one style, everything adds up to personal taste.”

This is great news for those of you who want instant results in your home without having a complete overhaul in order to keep up to date. It is also a fantastic way to really express your own personal tastes, enabling you to keep the look your own. One way to really express the spirit of your individuality is through Covermyfurniture.com’s various furniture cover designs. The collection of designs available reflect a range of individual styles that will let you mix and match, allowing you to express yourself through your choices.

The new movement of “trad-modern” i.e. the fusion of modern materials and traditional designs is the perfect trend to follow for those of you who want to put your personality into your home, think retro, art-deco, modernism & Baroque but with a modern twist. Covermyfurniture.com’s Mandara and Tico ranges have a modern take on the classic floral design and are available in a choice of the most popular living room shades. A cover in this design would really capture “trad-modern” when put over a sharp edged contemporary sofa or chair.

If you are a nature lover, home design is also taking on environmental motifs. Even if you can't be outside, you can still bring the outdoors indoors, bringing calmness to your inner spirit.

The Wisteria and Folly range is for all garden lovers who want to bring the outside in! The fabulous flowers will bring your furniture alive and look particularly good on conservatory furniture. The Folly covers really have that wow factor! You can choose from red or pink for a really dramatic look and they look great if you mix and match them with plain covers in your room.

So with the current interior trends promoting individuality, what better way to do it than with a cover from Covermyfurniture.com?
