Great Big Sofas & Armchairs
The trend for sleek sofas is fading, giving way to a preference for large, comfortable seating options. Oversized U-shaped sofas, wraparound corner sofas, and modular pieces are becoming increasingly popular, offering ample space for lounging, cuddling, and entertaining guests.
Lena Gierasinska from Barker and Stonehouse notes a growing demand for larger sofas, with customers seeking spacious seating arrangements that prioritize both style and comfort. Modular sofas, in particular, offer versatility and long-term value, as they can be easily rearranged to suit changing needs. To complement these oversized sofas, large accent chairs are also gaining popularity. These inviting pieces, often featuring oversized cushions and bold designs, serve as statement furniture pieces and allow for a more eclectic and personalized interior style.
The 70s Revival
The laid-back aesthetic, natural materials, and earthy tones of 70s interior design have experienced a resurgence in recent years. This nostalgic trend evokes the free-spirited optimism of the era, offering a relaxed and fun decorating style. To capture the essence of 70s design, incorporate vibrant slogans, retro prints, and contemporary graphics into your home. Curved shapes and abstract designs in velvet are also key elements of this trend.
In terms of color palette, 70s-inspired interiors often feature rich, earthy tones. Warm browns, terracotta reds, and oranges, combined with low-lighting fixtures like iconic mushroom lamps, create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. By embracing these elements, you can infuse your home with the distinctive style and energy of the 70s.
Quiet Luxury
Quiet luxury, initially a fleeting TikTok trend, has found a lasting place in interior design. Its emphasis on quality materials, craftsmanship, and understated elegance aligns with a growing desire for timeless and refined spaces. Unlike the exuberant maximalism that dominates with color and pattern, quiet luxury focuses on carefully selected, high-quality elements. While not strictly minimalistic, it prioritizes thoughtful curation and moderation in the selection of furnishings and decor, resulting in spaces that are elegant, inviting, and free from excessive ornamentation.
Buttery Yellows
The popularity of nourishing yellow hues has grown steadily in home decor. Wheat field neutrals have replaced bright whites on walls, while the enduring love for mustard yellow continues. In 2024, a happy medium was found in butter yellow, described as a welcoming and warm shade that invites people into your space. This versatile color can be used monochromatically to create a sun-drenched ambiance, or paired with other warm tones like russet, blush pink, and forest green for a welcoming and inviting atmosphere.
