Five Favourite Fall Home Trends to Try

Fall is in full effect, and the beautiful trees in Prince's Island Park are already starting to change colour. To complement the changing season, homeowners can make a big impact with the latest trends in furniture, accents and other aesthetic elements. Here are our five favourite home trends for this fall.

1. Forest Green


This deep, rich hue brings the outside in with a fresh twist on the neutral earth tones of yesteryear. Dark forest green is appearing in unexpected places like kitchen cabinets and draperies, often paired with natural woods, leather and brass accents.

2. Rounded Furniture 
Our favourite home decor trends for 2017


Mid-century modern couches with their sharp lines and angles are being replaced with softer lines and plush, inviting cushions. These dynamic pieces include horseshoe sectionals, round ottomans and oval or circular coffee tables. Mix and match silhouettes for an even trendier look.

3. Stained Glass


The new iteration of stained glass in the home isn't in the windows; rather, this iconic art form is returning as wall hangings and other decorative pieces.

4. Velvet


As more individuals strive to create a personal sanctuary at home, soft velvet is the perfect choice for fall. Sink into living room furniture with upholstery rendered in jewel tones like rich merlot and the aforementioned forest green.

5. Black Finishes


While stark stainless steel and warm copper and brass have been the hottest options in fixtures for several years, matte black is making a comeback for the metal items in many homes.

Brand Highlight: What Makes "Stressless" Furniture Special?

For the past 20 years, Stressless furniture by Ekornes has lead the way in developing furniture that is as comfortable as it is beautiful. They use a uniquely modern approach to crafting furniture, adapting to an individual's body and movements to create a naturally relaxing experience.

Contemporary Style, Cutting-Edge Comfort 


What makes stressless furniture so special?The sofas, recliners and ottomans of Stressless are plush and unbelievably comfortable, and they somehow manage to appear both timeless and thoroughly contemporary. The designs rethink the way furniture adapts to the body. This is accomplished through soft contours, luxurious cushions and the patented Glide system. The Glide system has a wheel that allows individuals to adjust the grip to suit his or her preference. The wheel stays at this setting until it is readjusted. Models with the Glide system include the following:

- Ambassador, Consul and Diplomat chairs

- Buckingham and Windsor lines

- Mayfair

- Legend family

- Wing and Eagle chairs

- Sunrise family

Many of these seats feature 360-degree swivel and the Stressless signature base.

The BalanceAdapt System


In addition to Glide, Stressless has also recently introduced a new feature, the BalanceAdapt system. Chairs with BalanceAdapt automatically adjust to the user's weight and movement, creating a seamless experience that is the ultimate in comfort. Models with BalanceAdapt include the Stressless Skyline and Stressless View, each of which has an available ottoman.
