Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to VIP Home!
Just like in fashion, the trends of home interiors are always changing–what’s in one year is out the next…but back in style twenty years down the road. VIP Home Advice: Invest in a neutral hued sofa by thinking of this staple piece as the little black dress of a room’s outfit–it goes with everything. To take a simple sofa to the next level, decide on what trends you want to follow–stalk Pinterest for cute ideas, see what’s hot and what’s not, or simply create your own trend by mixing patterns.
