According to Bentivegna and Dupree, farmhouse is a popular trend. Farmhouse is a combination of a light color and rustic.

“Our most popular piece is the farmhouse style dining sets,” Dupree said. He also says that a more modern farmhouse look that incorporates more wood tones and clean lines is an upcoming trend.

Bentivegna says that farmhouse will be in style for a very long time. “That’s our most popular piece right now. People are looking for anything that is grey or white,” she said.

Bentivegna also says that shabby chic is a trend which has never gone away. “Shabby chic started in the 1980s. It’s white, distressed, and girly looking,” she said.

The style was started in Great Britain by Laura Ashley. It became popular in the U.S. in the 1990s. Shabby chic is a form of interior design where old furniture is used for wear and tear.

The furniture is also painted and distressed.

Pellissier states Mid-century is also a popular style. “A lot of younger people like Mid-century. They like the sleek lines of Mid-century,” she said.

Pops of color are also a big trend to look out for. According to Bentivegna, blue is one of the colors which is popular.

Buying wood furniture is important because it will last a long time.
