If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to add some new style to your home in 2013, you’ll definitely want to look into incorporating the top shades of the year. Home furniture rental, a few coats of paint, or just a couple new accessories are all great ways to incorporate the shades. So what is the color trend forecast for 2013? Emerald The Pantone color of 2013 is Emerald. This vibrant green hue is playful yet dignified and would look great in many spaces with many styles. If you’re feeling daring, an emerald accent wall would beautifully complement white furniture in your living room. For the more moderate style, emerald glass – in the form of candleholders, picture frames, and more – makes a lovely statement and adds a glamorous, jewel-toned touch especially well-suited to the dining room. Aloe Sherwin-Williams announced their color of 2013 as Aloe, a soft green with hints of cool blue. Since Aloe is a paler color, you might feel inclined to paint more than a single wall in the shade. Again, this color looks great with white home furniture (rental is a great option if your current pieces are outdated) but it also works …

Are you starting up a new office or is your existing office starting to feel a little stifling? Boost everyone’s productivity by setting up comfortable, inspiring workspaces with suitable technology and office furniture. Rental office spaces can be incredibly productive places when set up properly. Collaborative Space There is an increasing emphasis on collaborative spaces in the office these days. Open spaces that can be configured with plenty of chairs and table space are almost a must. They allow flexibility so you and your team, no matter the size, can work together on any project. Be sure to choose well-crafted office furniture. Rental is a good option because it allows you to grow and change your collaborative spaces to best suit your evolving workforce, but still have access to high-quality pieces. In addition to furniture, these spaces should have conference call connections, a television or projection screen for presentations, and white boards for scribbling down ideas during brainstorming sessions. Private Space Sometimes collaborative spaces are not the best for helping workers think, focus, and get down to business. Even with an open floor plan, every office needs at least some private space where employees can work in peace or where …
