Que Será in Excelsior is a haven of awe-worthy home furnishings and accent pieces.

For those looking to spruce up their home in the New Year, check out Lauer’s new trends and tips.

Edit
Lauer recommends editing as a great first step. Often changing small things in a space, such as lamp shades, makes a big difference.

Navy blue as a new neutral
Long gone are the dull days of black, white and brown. Lauer suggests pairing navy blue with gray and adding a pop of mustard or orange.

Natural Weaves and Woven Textures
Lauer advises layering texture upon texture to tell a story. Neutral and natural weaves and textures add dimension and patterns without adding an additional color.

Upholstered poufs

Poufs can easily be moved in a space for extra seating. Lauer suggests adding interest through different fabrics and patterns.
