With each passing year comes fresh trends, and it only takes a few trendy touches to keep your living space up-to-date. With the proper building supplies and materials, you can transform any room into a fashionable focal point.

Furniture design has many faces this year, which is why the experts at Cincinnati’s Huber Lumber Co are sharing their favorite trends for 2017:

• Cerused Wood: Whether you’re shopping for cedar or lumber, a “cerused” finish brings out the traits of any grain you choose. Not only will you notice standout options for cabinet doors and decks, but you’ll see this treatment popping up on prominent furniture pieces like table and chair sets. If lumber is your forté, consider highlighting the natural grain with a “cerused” touch. Whether you use it to create a cozy, cabin-like feel or a contemporary twist on classic design, both provide a welcome escape from the over-the-top antique looks of 2016.
• Jewel Tones: An excellent way to enhance the style of any room is to add depth to your furniture design with vivid jewel tones—no more boring beige. Add drama to your décor with rich shades of purple, emerald, or navy. If you keep the walls light and simple, your furniture will stand out all the more. Use DIY building supplies to create and paint jewel-toned TV stands and shelving, then complement these colorful accents with pillows or picture frames. Each small touch adds to a unified, yet unique theme.
• Nailhead Accents: You don’t have to be a DIY expert to take advantage of this trend. Nailhead accents are popping up in the most unexpected places, from couches to storage chests and cabinet doors. With the proper building supplies and a little creativity, you can add this metallic touch to your own abode, whether on bar chairs in the kitchen or patterned pieces in the living room. Custom designs with this accent mesh well with multiple color palettes and themes.
