Wandering in Grayed Woods
Posted on September 3rd, 2015 by Toms Price Home.
Are you into the earthy, grayed woods now available in furniture? This big trend is increasing in popularity. Two of the most important things to consumers of home furnishings these days are casual comfort and capturing a personal style. Weathered gray says “casual” right off the bat. It also has an intriguing individuality. “Gray is the new brown,” says Toms-Price casegoods buyer Georgeann Anderson. Many new gray wood collections are heading to Toms-Price and Anderson thinks customers will love them.
Bernhardt recently debuted a new collection called
Marquesa. It’s now available at Toms-Price. “I think we are one of the first stores in the area that will showcase Marquesa,” says Anderson. “It incorporates serene gray woods along with more modern elements,” she relates. With this new collection, Bernhardt hopes to bring sophistication to your home and at the same time make it comfortable and livable. The Bernhardt company refers to Marquesa as a “neo-traditional collection that pairs classic forms with contemporary finishes.”

European Elements
These are some of the European elements Marquesa quietly shows off: sumptuous tufting on the upholstered chairs, antiqued mirrors with seeded glass and graceful carved-back dining chairs.
On the modern side of Marquesa, an alchemy of mixed materials and finishes has taken place. Bernhardt has made this collection both earthy in its colorations and luxurious in the addition of silver leafing and metal rosettes. The grayed woods are rustic, but become glamorous and sophisticated at the same time.
Whether it’s Belgian, Scandinavian or American farmhouse styles that are influencing interior design, the grayed woods are having their day and won’t be going away soon. Georgeann Anderson says “the new grays tend to be on the blue or cool side.” These neutral shades mix well with other woods. Even a piece or two will add interest to a room. So, try some experimenting with your interior. Come see the new grays at Toms-Price.
