Interior Design Trends for 2015

What's hot in 2015 for your home? With so many people looking to freshen up their style at the start of a new year, or just looking to reorganize their space with some spring cleaning, there are so many fresh new ideas you can use in your own home! Not everyone has a home that's made for HGTV or a design magazine, but what you do with your furniture and home décor can really make a difference in the way that your home looks and feels. Why not freshen up your space with what's trending in 2015.

Top Trends for Home Décor & Furniture in 2015

1. Rustic & Industrial

A lot of people are opting for rustic looking tables such as reclaimed wood or pieces with a more weathered look. Pair this with industrial metal finishes, and you've got the look! A lot of pieces are mixing reclaimed wood with iron or steel finishes to really create this salvaged/industrial type look. A great example of this can be seen here.

2. Bold Prints

Bold prints like chevrons and damask/baroque style prints are bigger than ever. Many people love the look of these bold prints to really make a statement in a room. From accent walls to curtains and rugs, these bold prints really tie a room together!

3. Organized Clutter

Gallery walls are very popular. Many choose to create a gallery wall of family photos, art, or even just bric-a-brac! Gallery walls can be created as an accent wall, to line normally bare spaces (such as stair wells), or even make a hallway look stylish. Tie your gallery wall together with a fabulous mirror, just like this one.

4. What's Old is New Again

Everyone is looking to reclaim vintage pieces to use them as a great accent piece to a room. Vintage pieces can be hard to come by or difficult to restore, so settling for a vintage-style piece, like this writing desk, can really give you the best of both worlds. Many popular styles of vintage furniture include Victorian, mid century modern, and art deco.

5. Mix & Match

Not everyone has taken to using a "matchy-matchy" style. Some people have opted for more modular pieces, as well as mixing and matching furniture of similar styles to create a more eclectic look. Use pieces, like this banquette, to really tie mix and match pieces together. It also makes a great decorative piece or provides additional seating!


No matter what your style is, take some time to freshen up your living space at home. Choose from a number of different styles of furniture here at Spector Furniture!

How to Create the Perfect Dining Room Set

The meeting point in your home for both your family members and your guests is the dining room. It’s where you gather to eat and to entertain. It’s important to create an atmosphere in your dining room that is casual, yet intimate. Spector Furniture offers all the dining room furniture you need to build a great meeting place for your family and guests. In order to create the best possible dining room in your home, be sure to keep the following factors in mind.

The first thing you should do to create a beautiful space is to choose the best color for the room. Since the dining room is intended to be a gathering place full of conversation and interaction, warm colors like red, orange, yellow, tan and light green are encouraged. These tones are said to be more engaging for guests. The idea is that these warm colors are intimate and comfortable, the perfect setting for your dining room.

When selecting furniture for your dining room, make sure to consider both the color of the rest of the room and the size of the room. You’ll want furniture that can fill the space, but not too overwhelming. You’ll want plenty of room to move around and to pull chairs out without hitting anything. Measure the space so you know you have plenty of room to move about.

The furniture you select should also match the color of the rest of the room. Warm-colored walls should complement a warm-colored dining room table. Red or tan wood and oak tables and chairs are popular choices. The table should also match the shape of your dining room. In smaller rooms, a round or square table will work best. At the other end of the spectrum, bigger rooms call for a longer, rectangular table to fill the space. One way to compromise would be to purchase a smaller table that includes extension leaves. This way, you can maximize the open space in your dining room throughout the year, but fill the space with adequate table space and seating when guests are over. 

Choose chairs that match the color of your dining room table. Wood, oak and leather chairs often work best. Bar stools also work if you have a taller table or a countertop in your dining room that faces the kitchen. The idea is to keep your guests at eye level when they are having a conversation.

Once you have the table and chairs set in place, you can fill out your dining room with a number of accessories. These include benches, cabinets, chests, servers and hutches. Make sure these accessories match the color and style of your table, chairs and walls. You can continue to decorate with matching tablecloths and centerpieces like flowers, candles, sculptures and glassware. You can also find a chandelier to hang over the table that matches the aesthetics of the room. 

All the dining room furniture you need can be located at Spector Furniture. Our fully stocked furniture store serves customers in Stratford, Milford, Shelton, Waterbury, Fairfield and Orange, CT. We have everything you need for your living room, bedroom, dining room or office. Ask our staff members to help you find the furniture and accessories that best fit your home.
