Even if it feels like winter will never end, 2019 is already barreling along, and several of the year’s trends are beginning to crystallize. We’re seeing people work new texture, line, and scale into their spaces in ways that emphasize comfort just as much as style. In short, comfy is in. These three mood boards show some of the themes of what’s trending, and they’re shoppable so you can get the look.

Trend #1: Luxe Fabric

It’s looking like the Age of Staying In will continue into 2019, which may explain why warm, inviting velvet is emerging as this year’s go-to fabric. Pair up energizing shades of green and calming deep blue for a nature-inspired feel. American Signature Furniture (ASF) has something for every room: The Charlie upholstered bed has a sleek, tufted look in retro teal, and we love how slim the Portland side chair looks in slate blue. And with ASF’s “Make It You” customization, you can pick your favorite color and fabric to get bespoke style at bargain prices.

Trend #2: Rounded Edges

Crisp, contemporary lines aren’t going out of style anytime soon. Still, we’re seeing many people looking for what else is out there and embracing pieces that take a gentler shape. The Emma accent table is the perfect petite expression of this idea while the Malibu coffee table is giving us major MCM vibes. (And because ASF delivers high-quality pieces at a value, you could even get both!)

Trend #3: Oversized Proportion

Big doesn’t have to mean heavy: A generous shape in a light neutral or bright hue adds to, instead of detracts from, your space. (Pro tip: Don’t be afraid of oversizing in a small space—you might have the urge to go for more elfin furniture, but often it creates a dollhouse effect that emphasizes the tininess.) The ASF Plush sofa proves that large pieces can still feel airy and spacious. And the Campbell chair is calling for a good book and a window open to the fresh spring breeze—good luxury chairs don’t have to look like Grandpa’s easy chair.

American Signature Furniture makes it easy to get the style you want at a price that leaves enough left over for the life you want. With collections that let you make it your own, and made-in-the-USA pieces, ASF helps you express your style on your budget.
