The Modern and the Traditional Sublimely Converge at Naurelle

LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the years, rustic, Tuscan designs have long been favored in Los Angeles furniture – and for good reason. Provincial Spanish and Italian furniture is a hallmark of sophisticated tastes, particularly in the SoCal region that shares Italy and Spain's highly desirable, warm, beautiful Mediterranean climate. As artistically-minded connoisseurs have sought to imbue their homes with the finest European furniture, they have always counted on Naurelle – the premier high-end furniture and lighting showroom in Los Angeles. In recent months, the desire for traditionally-styled Italian and Spanish furniture has experienced a notable shift towards more contemporary, forward-minded design. Yet, as tastes evolve, the artisans at Naurelle remain the ideal choice for tasteful high-end furniture.

A style report released by the National Kitchen & Bath Association illustrates that many aficionados of exquisite furnishings are eschewing the traditional in favor of contemporary designs with clean lines, minimal ornamentation and easy maintenance.

Findings from the industry group suggest that throughout 2014, we can look forward to seeing the following trends:

• An increase in gray color schemes in kitchens and baths. While beige, bone, white and off-white currently dominate, gray serves as a subtle yet arresting option for those who favor a modern look in their home.
• Walnut is expected to join such popular wood choices as cherry, maple and alder as the most popular choices for kitchen cabinets, while those with more modern tastes may opt for elegant and convenient glass cabinet doors.
• Quartz may pull ahead of granite as the favorite for countertops and vanities, while recycled materials are also expected to be an in-demand option for countertops.

The transition from classic and traditional to eye-catching contemporary is certainly a natural progression, but it represents much less of a shift than one many immediately expect. In fact, those in search of classic Italian and Spanish design options, and aficionados of modern furnishings alike will find the ideal options for their home at Naurelle.
