Outdoor Furniture and Accessories

If you live somewhere that is cold (and if you live in North America, you probably do), the last thing you are thinking about right now is your outdoor furniture. However, even as you spruce up the interior of your home, it's never too early to start thinking about your next outdoor makeover.

This video just released from WatchMojo.com covers some interesting trends for outdoor living and how to bring some of the outdoors indoors and some of the indoors outdoors to create an exotic yet comfortable living space spanning the best of both worlds...

Who Says Your Floors Can't Have an Artsy Side?

The perfect area or accent rug can really open up or pull together a living space! And much of the warmth in a room exists due to the selection and strategic placement of the right rugs.

Whether you place an inconspicuous runner in a hallway to keep the noise down, an area rug on the dining room floor to "frame" your dining room set, or an area rug in your living room to bring together your color scheme (or to quietly keep your new sectional company), a colorful or patterned rug that you love will often be that final piece that makes you inhale slowly and smile when you look around a favorite room in your home.

Our broad selection of solid area rugs, striped or patterned rugs, natural fiber rugs, and shag rugs offers something for every room and for every taste in floor decor.

Florals Bring a Little Taste of the Outdoors Inside Your Home

Outdoor gardens exist to showcase the beauty of nature and to provide a colorful feast for the eyes. Occasionally, we are blessed by being able to bring fresh flowers inside to brighten up our indoor lives.

But unless you have abundant disposable income to keep up the weekly appearance of fresh flowers in your home, artful arrangements of beautiful floral favorites like Sunflowers, Calla Lillies, Tulips, and Poppies can provide a feast for your nature-loving eyes.

And if your floral tastes border on the more exotic side, why not treat yourself to a stunning cluster of Parrot Tulips, a tower of Japanese Irises, or check out our completely fun hot-pink arrangement of Curcumas.

So whether you're into Orchids or Dahlias or just prefer a plume of crisp green grass arranged in a square vase, check out Suburbia Home's fresh collection of abundant florals and bring a little taste of the outdoors inside your home today.

The Versatile Purpose of a Pillow

The claim of being one of the biggest and often underappreciated comforts in life belongs to a pillow. It cushions your fall, cradles your head and serves as the perfect backdrop for your dreams.

Decorative pillows do even more. They allow you to scatter bursts of color, floral accents or geometric shapes and stripes across your living space.

We can make pillows for you in countless fabrics and styles to match your sofas, sectionals and chairs, or you can view our selection of pillows that are ready to brighten up your pad right now in our store in Gaithersburg, Maryland, or on our website.

Mirrors Reflect the Soul of Your Room

In ancient times, people polished rocks like obsidian to create mirrors. It wasn't until the Roman's started putting gold leaf behind glass that today's concept of a mirror was developed.

In interior design, mirrors often play the role of opening up a room or adding an interesting flair by portraying back parts of a room in a kaleidescope of reflections.

We love our mirrors and we hope you'll find the perfect one to accent a lonely wall, reflect back something you love from across the room (so you can see images of it from every angle), or even exist stylishly so that you can simply check how you look on the way out of the house.

More of our mirrors can be found in our store or online at Suburbia Home.

Nothing Spruces Up Your Home Like a Little Art

Art can take on many forms. Whether it is a pattern that comes into an artist's mind that inspires a colorful rug, an artful arrangement of flowers, or an abstract painting of a beautiful landscape, it's all art. If you find it beautiful and it moves you, it's probably art.

At Suburbia Home, art comes in many forms. Whether it's a geometric mirror design that reflects back glimpses of your beautiful living space, a splash of colorful flowers serving as a striking centerpiece, or a colorful pillow accenting your big, comfy sofa, such artistic elements are all a key part of creating a space that welcomes you and your unique sense of style every time you walk through the door.

We see art everywhere and we enjoy bringing it to you. Here are a few samples of our wall art on display in our store and available online at Suburbia Home.

Color - A Key Component of Your Interior Design Theme

For our first blog posting, we’d like to focus on color. Color is a key component of any interior design theme and an even more integral element of characterizing your personal style. While your personal color preferences are bound to impact the design themes you choose for your home in some form or another, the home decorating industry also drives cyclical design trends that are often centered upon color-infused washes, emotionally-laden splashes of color or merely hints of color that add that certain indefinable flair to complete an interior mood or balance the look and feel of a room or your entire home.

This season, two color trends stand out at Suburbia Home. First, subdued greens and browns bring a feeling of peace and oneness with the outdoors. Earth tones represent a classical color palette for individuals and families who seek to live a life that balances a love for the outdoors with the interior warmth of family life.

A different, second color trend this season is found in the extreme representation of black and white. The cool aesthetic presentation of both ends of the spectrum provides a great foundation for punctuating a room with bright color accents in your favorite color.

Visit the Suburbia Home store or website to see furnishings that illustrate these color trends, along with more of the latest design trends in furnishings and home accessories. Or to have an expert visit your home, discuss your color preferences with you, and suggest a color theme that fits your lifestyle, inquire about Suburbia Home’s in-home designer consulting services.
