Interior trends come and go. Although we don't have to blindly change our interior every year, it is always fun to add some aspects and get inspired.
When we look around us, we see some striking standouts that are worth putting in the spotlight. For example, we are not saying goodbye to curvy shapes and dark woods any time soon, we are embracing a touch of retro and 2024 will be the year of modular and sustainable furniture.
round shapes and soft edges
Round shapes and soft edges are an absolute must-have in interior design this year. Although round furniture is no newcomer to the world of interior design, the popularity of these soft, organic shapes will only grow. Not surprising, organic furniture radiates an incredible calm and is inviting to the eye. An aspect in furniture that we absolutely want in our busy lives. They have the unique power to completely soften the look and feel of a room. Need we say more?
benches with round shapes
We understand better than anyone that the round elements in our range are popular; we see it every day in our showroom and we are the biggest fans ourselves. With round elements you make a sofa completely your own, so you can easily design special seating islands , curvy snakes or fill an unused corner in a creative way. Do you prefer a simpler design? Our modular sofa X3 on leg comes with a round chaise longue element. In this way you give a sleek design sofa a soft touch with a small change. And do you want a subtle nod to the organic trend? By adding a pouf in an organic shape you quickly give a playful twist. And also very functional by the way, hello extra legroom!
modern 70's
And so we make the leap to the 70's interior trend. After all, the curvy sofa was also booming in this period. But this trend does not only bring round shapes; it also introduces a great mix of patterns, natural materials and crazy fabrics. We see these mainly in thick, fluffy rugs and colorful furniture. Forget the dusty image, the 70s are in fashion and interior – hotter than ever!
Need a home full of warmth and a touch of retro coziness? Don't be afraid to experiment with colors like mustard yellow , avocado green or rusty orange/brown . With geometric shapes, hanging plants and velvet seating you can effortlessly bring the 70s vibes into your home.
timeless, dark wood
Light Scandinavian? Move aside – dark wood has been making a big comeback for a while now. Walnut, teak or mahogany have had a place in vintage interior styles for decades, but are slowly conquering the hearts of the general public. And that is not surprising; the rich colour adds an incredible warmth and cosiness to a space. For example, we see that the dark brown is combined in a mid-century modern interior and increasingly appears in a Japandi interior where it takes the place of lighter types of wood.
To bring out the rich color of dark wood in your home, it is best to combine it with light tones and textures such as #09 beige melange , #11 beige bouclé or #10 teddy ecru ECO . This way you create the perfect balance between the warmth of dark wood and the light, refined atmosphere of your interior.
the sustainable choice
Driven by the growing awareness of environmental issues and the desire for a sustainable lifestyle, the popularity of choosing a more sustainable interior has grown enormously in recent years. By making conscious choices in materials such as recycled wood and fabrics that last a long time, you can do your bit. What we see a lot around us now is that people consciously choose a minimalist interior to reduce purchasing power and thus consume less. With less volume in the house, people choose pearls that really stand out, such as unique furniture and special use of color.
