Living Spaces
Designers are moving away from ultra‑cool grays and stark whites, and embracing warmer, grounded tones like clay, terracotta, olive green, mocha and sandstone.
Example: “brunette flooring” (rich dark wood tones) is gaining traction as a flooring trend.
Tip: You can incorporate this through accent walls, soft furnishings, or flooring to freshen up your space.
Texture, Pattern & Surfaces Matter
Plain, flat surfaces are becoming less common. Instead, there’s a rise in textured walls/ceilings (venetian plaster, wood slats, paneling) and bold wallpapers.
Patterned shelving, statement wall coverings and layered materials bring depth and interest.
Tip: Try adding a textured accent wall or a wallpapered ceiling to create a focal point without full re‑renovation.
Vintage, Nostalgia & “Old‑Meets‑New”
There’s a strong comeback of vintage furniture, retro prints, and antiques mixed with modern pieces.
The “châteaucore” aesthetic (French countryside romance + vintage charm) is also emerging as a distinct trend.
Tip: Incorporate one or two standout pieces (e.g., a vintage sideboard or mid‑century chair) to bring character to a modern space.
Curved Furniture & Soft Forms
Straight lines and rigid geometries are seeing competition from curves and softer silhouettes — curved sofas, arched armchairs, rounded hardware.
This creates a more relaxed and tactile feel in interiors.
Tip: If you’re not ready for large curved furniture, start small with a round side table or arch‑shaped mirror.
Sustainability & Biophilic Design
Eco‐friendly and nature‑inspired elements are more than trend—they’re becoming expectations. Reclaimed woods, recycled metals, organic fabrics, and real plants.
Biophilic design (bringing nature indoors) is gaining traction for wellness and aesthetics.
Tip: Choose one material you can upgrade (e.g., a reclaimed wood dining table) and add greenery for immediate impact.
Personalised & Multifunctional Spaces
Homes are being tailored not just for living, but working, relaxing and entertaining — so versatile furniture and zones matter.
Personalisation is key — decor that tells a story, heirlooms, collectables and custom pieces.
Tip: Integrate a fold‑away desk or storage unit in lounge space, and highlight pieces that reflect your story or hobbies.
