Ways to Use the Colors of Autumn in Modern Rooms
Posted by Team GFURN on
It’s that time of year again already, time to make a plan for decorating for fall. The good news is that there are many, many exciting color palettes to choose from. You’ll find one that perfect for you and a modern home. Here are a few options to inspire you:
Let’s start in a room with fall colors in medium tones, not light and not dark, but just right. This is decor that doesn’t shout “autumn” or appear color-timid but instead uses what is often seen as fall colors very effectively. This is a palette for all year long. Add a few pops of deeper autumn hues, and it becomes decor just right for fall.
Did you realize that pale tones are also suitable for fall decor? The room is seen in the image above shows off pale, almost ethereal autumn foliage. That soft color is repeated in the throw tossed casually at the end of the sofa. What a charming idea for fall decorating!
From pale, we turn to darker autumn hues in the stunning room below. We think this fall palette is an excellent option for modern spaces. Its colors are darker but still create an upbeat vibe--just right for a Mid Century living room.
The Bristol Rocking Chair in tawny leather on a black stained solid oak base is a beautiful addition to a room with a fall-inspired color palette. We love this modern chair.
Here’s the Duster 3-Seater Sectional Sofa with Left Chaise in Auburn Olefin fabric. It’s an exceptional choice for seating in a modern living room or family room with an autumn color palette. Just perfect, don’t you think?

Consider how beautifully the Veronic Lounge Chair in Walnut & Ruby would fit into a modern living room done in fall hues. We think this chair will help you successfully elevate your Mid-Century living space. It’s a gem for sure.

The rooms we’ve looked at today illustrate just a few of the myriad fall color palette options--each of which works in its unique way. Which one suits your modern design aesthetic? We would love to hear what you’re planning for fall decorating this year. Share with us on our Facebook page or Instagram, if you wish. You can browse all of our furnishings at Gfurn.com.

Modern Style: Turquoise, Aquamarine, and More
Posted by Team GFURN on
Is there a better way to refresh modern interiors than to change out or update color palettes? We think fresh new color is the way to go or perhaps fresh old paint in the case of watery blues.
Over time, turquoise and its sibling blues have shown their staying power with interior designers and the general public alike. Add purple tones to turquoise, aqua, sea glass, and aquamarine, and you have a perfect color palette. And one that shines in lots of styles, not just beachy cottages or iconic coastal style two-story beach houses. We think watery blues and purples are perfect in modern rooms.
The modern space above is an ideal space for a teen girl. We love the Eiffel chair in aquamarine. The pairing of turquoise with purple in varying tones is stunning, don’t you think?
Deft touches of turquoise elevate the Australian living room below. Colorful wall art shines in this modern space.
In an entirely different play on an aquamarine/purple palette, the living room above is stylish and modern.
Shades of watery blue and medium gray, along with an appealing pattern, is stunning in the modern bedroom image seen below. A tall upholstered headboard with simply stylish lines and crisp white bedding makes this bed the room's focal point. Sleek glass pendants hang above modern bedside tables.
The Safari 3-Seater Sofa - Aquamarine is our choice of watery blue seating for modern rooms. Its seating swathed in aquamarine fabric.

And here’s a watery blue chair to check out, the Sportage Single Seater Lounge Chair/Sofa - Aquamarine. It's gorgeous and so comfortable, too. Think of the possibilities!

When you give your modern home a refresh, consider watery blues to take your spaces to a new level you’’ enjoy for a long time to come. With these appealing blues and perhaps a splash of complementary purple or lilac, you’ll wake up each day to home decor that will make you smile.
We hope to see you soon at Gfurn.com!

Animal Prints Meet Modern Interiors
Posted by Team GFURN on
Who doesn’t love animal prints of all sorts? Leopard spots, tiger stripes, zebra in black and white and on and on. They’re everywhere. But, as part of modern decor? Let’s see about that. If you’re looking for over-the-top, see a recent post we called “Stunning Rooms: Unexpected Touches.” Today we’re talking chic, stylish, restrained use of animal prints. However, some may dispute whether leopard spot wallpaper is restrained, and we accept that as a valid point of view. But overall, we’ve tried to bring you modern good looks with a touch of animal.
At the beginning of this post, you see zebra meets modern meets awesome. A massive mirror reflects it all--a sleek white console table, modern tabletop accessories with a beautiful upholstered bench--totally modern and gorgeous.
Below, an appealing mix of animal print fabrics cover a pair of comfortable lounge chairs and throw pillows on the sofa include animal prints and wide stripes. It’s a lovely light-filled space.
And here’s that modern leopard spot wallpaper. It looks like it belongs in this space with a Mid-Century Eiffel Chair and contemporary white desk. Kudos for a great pairing of wallpaper and furniture!
The solid acacia wood Torrell Bench would look awesome with animal print cushions. The finish is called Woodline mocha.
The Fidel Console Table could elevate a modern foyer and could reach new stylish heights with the addition of a bench upholstered in a charming zebra print. We love that idea.
Which of the three rooms above is your favorite? We hope we’ve inspired you to give animal print a try in your modern home.

If animal prints suit your design aesthetic, then you can use it to personalize your modern interior spaces, to set them apart from others.

There’s something so appealing about vintage modern bathroom designs--a little bit retro and oh so Mid-Century. Charming and stylish, these bathrooms catch our attention at every turn. The master bath shown above is a great example, Here, the word of the day is tile. Ceramic tiles in different tones of blue cover the floor and walls giving the room a cool watery look.
The awesome vintage modern bathroom below again shows off the beauty of tile, this time in pristine white. A gorgeous Lodge or Southwest patterned area rug seems just right against white tile on the floor. The rug colors could not be more perfect. The vanity looks much like a modern sideboard. If you’re wanting to convert a Mid-Century piece from sideboard to bathroom vanity to add authenticity to your vintage modern bath, remember to measure carefully to be sure your sink or sinks will fit and that the height is appropriate for a vanity.

The Many Faces of Boho Style I
Posted by Team GFURN on
Today’s modern Bohemian style is notable for its diverse color palettes. Some beautiful Boho spaces are light-filled and showcase light tones, even white accented with pastel hues. Other Bohemian rooms are dark and moody, while still others are an appealing combination of the two. Let’s look at those three faces of Boho style:
The living room shown below uses light and dark elements to great advantage. White walls and ceiling, sheer curtains as well as a sleek white modern sofa are stunning anchored by a multi-hued rug in deep tones. Isn’t it an awesome Boho look.
Dark hues sing in this lovely Boho bedroom. White upper walls and ceiling keep the darker tones from weighing the space down. What could have been a dark and moody room gets a big boost by light and airy?
We could easily describe the bedroom below as minimalist Boho. No matter how you describe it, this space showcases the Bohemian look is modern in inspiring pale tones with no fussy elements insight. The rug is a Boho beauty in soft, not bright, hues.
The Corbin Queen Bed crafted in solid acacia wood with smooth painted concrete look surfaces should merge beautifully into Boho bedrooms. Whether you’re going for a traditional Bohemian vibe or a more minimalist modern Boho look, the Corbin is certain to please.
A small piece, with big style, the Corbin Bedside Table/Nightstand is perfect with the Corbin bed shown above or as an awesome addition to a modern bed you already have. It also sports that great smooth concrete-like finish.
