Every year, interior design sets new trends. Some strive to catch up with them, while for others, they serve as ideas for inspiration. Whatever the case, the main thing is to create a cozy and comfortable home where you will gladly return after a busy day.
We suggest considering 11 furniture trends that await us in the new year.
Natural materials + eco-friendliness
People have always been inspired by nature and its harmony. Therefore, this trend is timeless. It is advisable to use vibrant colors, natural wood finishes, stone, marble, and plenty of greenery. In textiles and decor: wool, clay, ceramics, wood. The trend towards eco-friendliness is also expressed in the use of furniture made from recycled plastic. Such an interior will provide warmth, comfort, and a sense of unity with nature.
Soft minimalism
We leave behind the soft minimalism of the past year. This is a trend that stays with us for a long time. It combines warm tones and the classic aesthetics of minimalism: simplicity in forms and colors.
Textured materials, beige, stone, smooth lines, and various lighting scenarios.
Vintage/70s
The real highlight in the interior is vintage furniture or decor. Perhaps this contrasts with the previous point, but in reality, minimalism and vintage go perfectly together. Items with a history have a special charm, and you give them new life. Imagine: a monochromatic, clean design with an accent in the form of a vintage armchair from the 70s, with all its wear and tear. A flawless combo.
Japandi
A style that combines Japanese asceticism, minimalism, and a bit of Scandinavian influence. A wonderful mix where aesthetics, spaciousness, and coziness come together. Such interiors are characterized by natural materials and tones, minimal decor, concise forms, spatial cleanliness, and numerous plants.
Cyberpunk, or digital realism
This style takes its inspiration from science fiction works where the future becomes so technologically advanced that it reflects in all aspects of life. Cyberpunk shares similar features with loft design, such as exposed brick walls, concrete, and open communications. In general, the more grates, wires, and metallic structures, the better.
Arches in a modern interpretation
Designers are falling in love again with trends from previous centuries, so modern furniture trends are closely connected to the past.
Arches are making a comeback in interiors as a symbol of the aesthetics of the Renaissance architecture. They appear in various elements such as wall niches, window openings, doors, and furniture.
For the most part, all living spaces have a rectangular shape. The curved lines in arches create a contrast with linear elements, and vibrant colors make the space interesting and dynamic.
Viva Magenta
Interior design in the new year has been enriched with the raspberry-red shade of Viva Magenta, named the color of 2023 by the Pantone Institute. Pantone describes it as a color that combines cool and warm tones, the future and the past, physical and virtual reality.
It is a deep but complex shade that needs to be skillfully incorporated into interior design. Therefore, we have prepared some tips for its use.
If your interior is in neutral colors, add bright accents: textiles, paintings, statues, vases, ottomans, and other decor elements. If you want to make the trendy color the main focus, use it for walls, doors, furniture, and so on. What colors to combine it with? Sand-beige, muted pinks, and greens, which will effectively complement the bold color.
Peach Fuzz – Pantone’s Color of 2024
In anticipation of each new year, the Pantone Color Institute always presents the public with a new shade that reflects the overall mood of society and global cultural trends. The main directions in design are always linked to colors, so it’s interesting to explore how to use the main color of 2024 – Peach Fuzz from Pantone – in home interiors. This warm, peachy color pairs well with the natural hue of pine wood, which is often used in building cottages. We suggest considering new interior ideas and daring to refresh your own space in the new year.
Going Beyond the Frame
Moldings are elements of a classic interior that have gained popularity beyond its confines. Decorative overlays simulate plasterwork, can be made from various materials, and are placed on flat surfaces such as walls, ceilings, doors, and even floors.
Moldings help visually enlarge the space or conceal processing defects. Such fashionable furniture trends are used in decorating interiors in styles like Baroque and Rococo, Neoclassicism, and Art Deco.

As for furniture: everything for quick access, functionality, and comfort. Open wardrobe systems, partitions for zoning, ergonomic living spaces, hidden kitchens, tables, and cabinets with built-in sockets or charging devices.
