A farmhouse coffee table is more than just a stylish piece of furniture or a place to throw your feet up. They are also great for storage, to show off your personal decor style, and to craft a space full of function and comfort. Perhaps most importantly, though, a coffee table anchors the design of a room. It acts as a piece to position the rest of your furniture around, which centers and defines the space. This will help any home look and feel its best but is especially important in open-concept spaces.

Another fabulous thing about farmhouse coffee tables is that there is a style for everyone and every budget. Those craving that signature rustic look will adore finishes like reclaimed barn wood and distressed paint. While those who have dreams of hosting cocktail night may prefer a large mirrored table that makes wiping spills a cinch. Shift over to the shape of the table and you have just as much variety—you can even get really creative and reuse a credenza or trolley cart!

Keep scrolling to get a glimpse of all these styles of farmhouse coffee tables and tons more. Your coffee mug will be thankful for such a stylish resting place!

When adding a coffee table that is noticeably darker or lighter than the rest of your decor, try also adding accessories in a similar tone to ensure everything blends. In this case, the horse painting and duo of dark frames mimic the table’s brown hue. It is also the perfect example of how big a coffee table should be—around the same height as your sofa and approximately 2/3 as wide.

The Real Deal on Green Kitchen Cabinets: Regrets and Revelations

Painted cabinetry is a trend that’s here to stay, and there’s good reason for it! It a world that’s been dominated by neutral kitchens that all feel a bit… well, boring, adding color is the perfect way to show off your style and personality and breathe new life into your home design. Color psychology shows (https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-green.html#:~:text=The%20color%20green%20relates%20to,spring%2C%20of%20renewal%20and%20rebirth.) that green is associated with renewed energy, balance, and positivity. Personally, I can’t think of better feelings to have while working in one of the most chaotic and hectic rooms in my home!

Even as a more modern accent in kitchen design, green cabinets work fantastically well with any aesthetic. In a space with classic or traditional features, a lighter shade that reads as a neutral will fit beautifully in the rest of your home’s style. Contemporary or modern aesthetics pair perfectly with dark olive or a moody greenish gray that give a striking and bold look.

If dark, moody hues aren’t your first choice, you don’t have to worry. Everything from pale gray greens to shades bold emerald are possible, especially when you see what our contributors have to share below!

The Truth About Using One Flooring Type in an Entire House

The word of the decade is simplification, and that is precisely what is happening within interior design. Where walls once separated every room in our homes, we now have open floorplans that showcase unobstructed spaces and bright light. This is possible because of how contractors and designers have encouraged the selection of one flooring type to extend through the entire house. https://upgradedhome.com/should-flooring-be-the-same-throughout-the-house/ The obvious benefits include better resale value, cohesiveness, and seamless transitions, but where there are positives, there will always be negatives to consider.
We asked our interior designers to share their take on this current trend and prompted homeowners who have implemented this advice in their homes to share their experiences. The greatest takeaway is the necessity for water-resistant flooring in spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, but the overall feedback was positive, encouraging a continuation of this theme in future builds and renovations. Make sure you read on to get all the best advice for installing the same floor throughout your house.
