What's trending in the furniture space this year?
There’s a resurgence of vintage and retro-inspired furniture styles, with mid-century modern and art deco influences being particularly prevalent. Furniture featuring sleek lines, geometric patterns, and bold colours reminiscent of past eras add a nostalgic charm and timeless appeal to contemporary interiors. Rattan furniture has indeed been gaining popularity in past years and of course, this year too.
As urban living spaces become more compact, multi-functional and space-saving furniture designs are in high demand too.
How can one decorate living rooms differently?
Introduce bold accent pieces such as vibrant throw pillows, colorful rugs, or statement artwork to inject personality and flair into the space. Experiment with mixing and matching different furniture styles, colors, and materials to create an eclectic and dynamic look. Invest in statement furniture pieces such as bold/subtle-coloured sofas, accent chairs, or unique coffee tables that reflect your personal style.
Incorporate vintage furniture pieces, antique accessories, or thrifted treasures into your living room decor to add character and charm. Create striking plant displays using sculptural planters or hanging planters. Create personalized gallery displays showcasing family photos, travel memorabilia, or meaningful artwork to infuse the living room with warmth and nostalgia. Mix framed photos with unique display methods such as clipboards, shadow boxes, or hanging wire grids for a personalized touch.
