Keeping on top of interior design trends can bring so much joy. Ensuring your home is comfortable and beautiful is a source of pride for many homeowners.
The start of 2025 ushers in a new set of trends for you to embrace. Furniture trends are perfect for when you are looking to change things up without renovating the whole room. Here are some up-and-coming trends for you to begin to explore.
Embracing curvilinear forms
Furniture typically has a lot of corners. Just think about tables, coffee tables, shelves, bed frames and even seating options.
In 2025 there is a shift towards curvier, rounded shapes. If you want to embrace the soft fluidity of this trend then look for circular coffee tables as well as curved sofas. Your interior will end up feeling a lot more comfortable and cosier as the rounded lines invite warmth compared to the angular harshness of lots of corners.
Sustainable and reclaimed materials
Although this isn’t a new trend, the emphasis on sustainability and reclaimed materials is just as strong. There has been a conscious shift in the furniture-making industry to think about the future and try to reduce the impact of the business on our planet.
When shopping for new furniture consider eco-friendly options made from reclaimed wood or recycled metals. Although they may set you back a bit more, they will last as long as other options and be better for the environment.
This trend also extends to accessories and fabrics. Keep an eye out for sustainable fabric choices for upholstery, blankets and even lampshades. Not only are you highlighting your commitment to sustainability, but you may find some truly unique pieces that will stand out.
Multifunctional furniture for flexible living
Versatility is key when it comes to family living and your furniture should reflect that dynamic. Items such as modular sofas and extendable dining tables can be adapted to suit your needs at the moment without needing extra parts or additional purchases.
This trend isn’t only focused on the downstairs rooms; bedrooms can benefit too. Wardrobes with integrated dressing tables combine practicality, storage solutions and a nice aesthetic, making them ideal for bedroom occupants of all ages.
Bold use of colours and patterns
Bold fabrics and patterns in furniture upholstery haven’t really had their day in the sun since the 80s, but they will be back again in 2025.
Incorporating vibrant colours and striking patterns into your furniture pieces is a great way to add some life to a more neutral palette as well as show off your own style.
You can start small with your accessories such as cushions, bedding or blankets. But if this is a trend you love, why not go all out and buy a floral couch for your living room? That will definitely make a statement to any visitors!
