Texture furniture is here in a big way and still growing in popularity. From walls to furniture, interior trends continue to bring in tactility and texture, and texture is the new pattern in making a visual statement.
Timber cladding and slatted wood furniture are having a moment, and this trend seems here to stay! There’s also an increase in caning accents, metal grills, shattered glass, brass sabot detailing on tables, and the rough-hewn woodwork seen on today's new furniture items. Also, textiles will be rich and full of lush and interesting texture as well.
Natural Materials

Natural materials are gaining momentum in the trend stakes. The focus on sustainability and waste-reduction is resulting in this eco-friendly furniture trend. From stone to wood to natural textiles, natural materials are making a breakthrough in the ever-changing world of home furnishings.
Furniture now focus heavily on using natural materials such as linen, wool, rattan and light blonde timbers, and rattan furniture has shot up in popularity over the past year. Other natural materials such as timbers, wools, sisals and linens, also bring a sense of warmth and honesty to a scheme. Furniture designers are getting creative with materials like concrete and bamboo, making pieces that are eye-catching and inspiring while keeping the environment in mind.
You can try sticking to earthy tones: terracotta vases, marble coffee tables, wicker baskets and wooden furniture pieces are the easy ways to start. These all work together to add texture and warmth to a room, creating a more organic look that can produce a relaxed, calm vibe.
Curves and Rounded

While the last decade was all about furniture that sticks to clean straight lines, curves are definitely making a comeback! Full-on voluptuous or gently rounded, curves will lift the layout and soften the overall look of your room, adding a bold design focus or a subtle touch of shaping to your décor.
Especially curvy sofas are taking their place in recent living room design. Along with the return of furniture with rounded silhouettes and shapely legs, go for chairs with rounded backs and consoles with shapely curved legs. Sofas with rounded arms and round coffee tables will also soon become a rage. You can consider throwing in a circular rug into the mix to complement the curves of your furniture!
Curved & Rounded Kitchen Islands
Besides living room, curvy furniture is making its way into the kitchen, and in the form of a giant statement piece - the island! As there are already many straight lines in the kitchen, like cabinets and appliances, try to break it up with a curvy island, to make your kitchen more playful and inviting.
Shades of Luxury

Luxury minimal design is the latest furniture trend that gives reduced living environments a glamorous touch with high-quality material highlights. Adding rich, noble shades, metal elements, and refined crystal to your furnishing would give some luxury shades to the overall interior. Other materials such as marble, granite and leather or shiny metal details in gold, bronze and silver also lend the furnishings a touch of luxury.

Be bold in mixing metals for a glamourous effect! You can put together silver, gold, and rose gold in one room creates a chic and glamorous look. Imagine rose gold accessories, gold light fittings, and silver chair legs in the mix.
For huge statement like coffee table and dining table, marble and granite are those timeless materials you can’t go wrong with. Kitchen backsplash is also a perfect place for these beautiful stone materials. Having correctly arranged these objects, you can create such a space that will delight and amaze with its luxury and unsurpassed style.

While we are spending time at home more than ever before, creating a place where we can truly get comfy has never been more important. “Cocooning” is the idea of having homely comfort and safe space, allowing you to create your own world of comfort. And this has become a key focus in recent interior design trend.
People are now demanding more homely comfort seating with deep cushions and more curves, and generally a place to lay down as much as to sit. In line with the cocooning trend, squishy sofas, curvy shapes and snuggly fabrics are on trend right now. Many sofas have chunky arms, all the better to wrap around you. Or they are streamlined modern pieces with extremely narrow arms.
