Furniture trends 2024 / 25

We look ahead into the design trends shaping furniture in the last half 2024 and into 2025. Anchored in the ethos of living intentionally, working dynamically, resting restoratively, and immersive play, we provide a roadmap for designers seeking to stay ahead of the curve.

One notable trend is the rise of discreet tech. With technology becoming increasingly integrated into our homes, there's a growing demand for gadgets that seamlessly blend with our decor. This shift towards understated design is accompanied by a focus on intuitive controls and multifunctional features, ensuring that our homes remain clutter-free and functional.

Another trend on the horizon is the emphasis on casually comfortable furniture. After years of prioritizing style over comfort, homeowners are now gravitating towards furniture that exudes warmth and relaxation. From chic slipcovers to plush armchairs, the emphasis is on creating spaces that provide a sense of comfort and sanctuary.

Furthermore, the concept of sensorial design is gaining traction, with consumers seeking to engage all their senses within their living spaces. From fragrant scents to tactile textures, our homes are becoming immersive environments that delight and inspire.

Outdoor spaces are also undergoing a transformation, as businesses and homeowners look to extend areas into the outdoors. From outdoor bathtubs to cozy rugs, there's a growing emphasis on creating inviting outdoor retreats that reflect our lifestyles and preferences.

Sustainability is another key theme that's gaining momentum, with consumers seeking ways to minimize waste and maximize the lifespan of their home goods. This includes a renewed focus on repair and resale, as well as a growing interest in products and services that promote sustainability. 

Finally, there's a growing recognition of the need for empathetic design, with designers increasingly catering to the needs of diverse populations. Whether it's designing for aging populations or individuals with disabilities, there's a renewed focus on creating inclusive spaces that accommodate everyone.
