Organic shapes instead of geometric lines
This year, strict functionality is giving way to flowing designs with organic shapes and light natural colors. These can be found in sofas and chairs, for example, which impress with their curved backrests or rounded armrests. Dining tables also feature organic shapes, with round table tops that harmonize very well with the flowing design of the seating furniture. There are also matching vases and other decorative elements that pick up on the trend. Incidentally, the organic shapes can also be combined very well with other furnishing styles.
Furnishing with natural materials
The 2024 furnishing trends bring naturalness into your own four walls. Natural materials are more popular than ever and create a cozy feel-good atmosphere that radiates comfort and style. Popular natural materials include, for example
- Wood: Natural or naturally treated solid wood radiates warmth and creates a particularly cozy atmosphere. Darker types of wood such as walnut or oak have a rustic charm, while furniture made of beech, birch or pine creates a friendly and inviting ambience thanks to its light color. Wooden furniture also proves to be more durable and long-lasting. For example, the tabletop of a solid wood table can be sanded down if it becomes scratched or discolored and will look like new afterwards.
- Rattan: Furniture and decorative items made of rattan and wicker are not new, but are popular again. The airy look of natural materials adds lightness to furnishings and can be used in a variety of ways. Whether it's seating, tables or home accessories, rattan is back in fashion in 2024.
- Leather: Leather has already experienced a revival in the industrial style. This year, the natural material is once again at the forefront of interior design and impresses with its elegant look. Leather is not only to be found on seating furniture in the living room, but also in dining chairs and armchairs in the dining room.
Furniture with corduroy - comfort redefined
As early as the 1970s, corduroy was a popular upholstery fabric for sofas, armchairs and beds. Over time, however, corduroy furniture was replaced by other fabrics and eventually disappeared from the scene. This year, however, corduroy is making a comeback and bringing variety to interior design. Furniture with corduroy upholstery is not only particularly comfortable thanks to its velvety surface, but also looks great thanks to its three-dimensional structure. Whether sofa, armchair or bed, corduroy furniture is celebrating its trendy comeback in 2024.
Bright colors and lively textures are the trend
Plain and discreet was yesterday - today it can be a little more eye-catching. This applies to both the color and the surface texture of furniture, home textiles and decoration. In keeping with organic furniture, brushed, coarsely knitted and natural-looking surfaces are the order of the day this year. Wall design can also be textured and livened up with hand-finished plaster or lime plaster.
When choosing colors, the focus should be on colors that put you in a good mood. Although pastel and natural tones are still represented in interior design trends, they are supported by bright colors that bring life to the interior. From azure blue and grass green to magenta and sunny yellow, every color that radiates cheerfulness and joie de vivre is represented. If you prefer something less gaudy, you can also use the colors in the form of cushions, tablecloths or rugs.
