Color Trends: Citron and Gray

Citron and Gray is a great color duo with citron adding vibrancy and gray being the neutralizer. The High Point Furniture Market last month was abundant in bright colors. Citron can be too energetic in some rooms but when anchored with a neutral hue, it can work very well and brighten one's spirits!

Here are some of our favorites (shown in clockwise order):
One: Orleans Black Aubusson Rug from our French Market Collection
is hand woven with 100% wool yarn on a loom with a cotton foundation to achieve the strength and ageless beauty of the original French Aubusson weave. Two: Hollis Chair from the CB Upholstered Collection boasts a high back with grand sweeping curves forming its sophisticated silhouette.
Three: Sienna Chair from the Oly Studio Collection gives a modern makeover to the traditional wingback chair.
Four: Zimba Toss Pillows from the CB Upholstered Collection in Avocado and Charcoal is a striking graphic print on a crisp white background.

Do you think that adding a citron accent piece in your room would brighten your spirts? Coach Barn certainly does!

Sunrooms: A Second Living Room in Your Home

Tufted Round Ottoman
A sunroom can act as a second living room. Not only do sunrooms support leisurely living, they can serve many functional purposes as well as increase square footage. Whether it is called a sunporch, solarium or conservatory, it might be just the thing to get you in a sunnier mood. Adding a rug would bring plushness and texture while adding greenery would bring a connecting element to the outdoors. You may ask, how do you enjoy a sunroom in the middle of a snowy winter season ... it provides a perfect place to to watch the outdoors in the winter. Incorporating an area designated as a reading nook or playing a musical instrument in this second living room may well become your favorite spot in the entire house!
