We have already seen all these keys and ideas that will make the trend noticeable in your home. In summary, the idea is that the color palette does not fail. The nod to prints may be present although it is not key. The line of the furniture is more important and that dark wood or some colored lacquer pieces are not missing. Do not fear in combine modern pieces with retro elements like a lamp (there are very appropriate designer ones). It is interesting to introduce elements such as armchairs and armchairs or auxiliary tables, also easily found in the catalog of many furniture companies. We recognize that geometric wallpapers are eye-catching and suitable for the most daring. But they are not essential. What we point out is more important, the good use of color and materials and design lines.. Parts for sale at Nordic Nest.
