Furniture trends come and go just like other
trends in the interior design industry. And keeping on top of these changes can
ensure that your home will always look fabulous, modern, and new. Continue
reading to take a look at some of the latest trends that have hit the furniture
design field. You may find that you already own pieces that follow these new
ideas, or you may realize that the furniture in your home is outdated and
should be replaced.
Smaller
Pieces of Furniture
Whereas the trend used
to be to incorporate oversized furniture into a space, newer pieces are being
made smaller to suit every type of room. These allow for more homes to enjoy
more of an open concept. The edges of these smaller pieces are also typically rounded
and softer than the furniture that used to be popular, and they have an air of
'50s and '60s style that is also a lot more streamlined and almost have what
can be described has a floating appearance to really open up a space.
Decorative
Patterns
Gone are the days when
plain fabrics were the popular style for furniture. These days, it is all about
patterns, from stripes to floral prints and everything in between. Large,
comfortable chairs can be added to a dining room table or even a living room space
that add a pop of color and also add an extra design element with an intricate
pattern that makes the furniture itself the center of the room.
Eco-Friendly
Redesigned Pieces
One way to bring in
eco-friendly elements into your home is to repurpose your old furniture or find
pieces that have been salvaged and made to look like new. From new fabrics that
can be applied to your existing furniture, to pieces that are made of recycled
materials, there are plenty of ways to go green as you decorate your home and
make it beautifully unique.
Marble
Tabletops
Marble is making its way
into more pieces of furniture than the usual kitchen countertops and bathroom
sinks. Now you can find it forming tabletops and other unique decorative pieces
that can serve to bring some elegance into a space without being too
ostentatious.
Soft
Bedrooms
Bedroom furniture is
also becoming softer, with headboards covered in delicate fabrics and bedside
tables made of natural timber, making them lighter than the thicker, darker
pieces from the past.
Multi-Functional
Pieces
Multi-functional
furniture is becoming increasingly popular, and the latest pieces even go so
far as to combine Japanese inspired elements, such as origami, that make
everything from nightstands to coffee tables more unique and eye-catching than
ever before. Many of these offer a simplistic approach to beauty that everyone
can love.
With so many new design
trends hitting the furniture market, you can change your entire home and make
it look completely different while tying in elements from the past and brand
new ideas from the industry today. From marble to patterns, look for furniture
that dares to make a statement.
