Delight in picking your furniture
If you're in the market for some new furniture to reinvent your personal space and are uncertain what to buy, here are some of the furniture designs that are trending in 2020. When purchasing furniture, there's a strong focus on sustainability, buying items that offer longevity and have character rather than opting for a cheaper throwaway alternative that will become outdated quickly. Follow our tips below on trending furniture designs and transform your home or apartment with the latest pieces that will stand the test of time.
Environmentally conscious materials
Over the past few years, there's been a shift to people wanting furniture designed from natural and organic materials, as society is becoming more environmentally conscious. Sustainability in furniture design is more sought after and investing in pieces that may be more expensive, but are chosen to be a feature that will be kept for many years. Eco-friendly furniture such as concrete and bamboo is also becoming popular, which also helps with waste reduction.
French modern inspiration
French modern furniture is another design at the forefront in 2020. Cane is a preferred choice of wood for many of the pieces, especially for chairs and couches. The elegant rounded shapes of this furniture design make it fresh and contemporary.
Traditional rattan and wicker styling
As many natural fibres are trending in 2020, there's also been a resurgence in rattan and wicker furniture. While rattan and wicker furniture was originally popular in the '70s, the designs have evolved to seamlessly merge modern and traditional styling.
Custom sculptural pieces
Furniture as a work of art is currently trending, with modern and unusual sculptural pieces having a wide following. Although custom pieces are generally more expensive, these are purchased as collector's items, to be admired for many generations to come. A major attraction for purchasing custom pieces is these fit within the cultural shift to more sustainable interiors.
Tantalising textures
Contrasting textures are still sought after in 2020, from metal accents and roughly hewn woodwork through to cane and glass trim. Different textures are ideal for personalising your space and adding interest to a more neutral-toned palette.
European influence
As many are seeking stand alone pieces to decorate their home interiors, European influenced furniture designs are in demand at present. Metal legs and couches with curved lines and sloping arms are being embraced, as German and Italian silhouettes in furniture design gain pre-eminence.
Statement pieces
In 2020 statement pieces are on trend. Statement pieces are ideal as a feature for your interior, to represent your personal tastes and style. At present 80's style furniture is making a comeback, such as curved sofas, so take this into consideration when deciding on the statement pieces for your home or apartment.
Warmth of wood
Wooden furniture is promising to be a leading trend in 2020, with dark tones gaining popularity for richness and warmth. For a more luxurious interior blend furniture manufactured from dark-toned wood, such as cherry, mahogany or chestnut, with stone and marble. Teka, pine and oak are also preferred choices of wood for furniture design in 2020.
Industrial innovation
Innovative designs in industrial furniture have also come to the forefront in 2020. Think style and functionality, such as seating combined with a bookcase.
