An added benefit of modern interior design? There are a variety of trends within the style to keep your space looking new and fresh, no matter which pieces you add. Plus, every room can fit the same modern aesthetic while staying on-trend—kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and everywhere in-between.
Our team of interior design experts collected a list of the latest trends in modern furniture, so you can keep your space full of the latest and greatest the style has to offer. Here are a few modern furniture trends to keep your eyes on this upcoming year.
Menswear-Inspired Furniture Styles
One of the latest trends hitting the modern interior design scene is heavily influenced by menswear. Think industrial, leather upholstery, dark woods, and subtle textures. Another vital element to menswear-inspired furniture is the combination of classic neutral color palettes, texture, and subtle patterns. In our opinion, this style looks best in the bedroom and living room.
Natural Furniture Materials
Modern interior design puts great emphasis on natural materials. Make this element the focus of your furniture choices by picking pieces that are stylish and eco-friendly. There are plenty of options to choose from, but a few that our interior designers lean towards sustainably-grown wood, rattan, bamboo, and reclaimed woods.
Multi-Functional Furniture
If you live in a smaller home, you can easily benefit from hopping on the multi-functional modern furniture trend. These pieces provide style and function in one fitting package. Look for furniture that fits your needs best. Some new designs that work best include hidden storage cabinets, charging ports, or flexible add-ons you can use as needed
Upholstered Bed Frames
Many homeowners are applying this trend to bedrooms: guest, master suite, kids’ rooms—you name it. Swap out your wooden bed set for an upholstered bed frame or headboard. It’s a classic look that kicks the comfort level up a notch. You can find these bed frames in velvet, linen, and leather varieties.
Mid-Century Modern Furniture
Chances are you know a thing or two about mid-century modern furniture. It’s currently one of the most popular design styles, and it’s here to stay. Mid-Century modern furniture designs heavily favor sleek lines and bold colors. Try incorporating pieces that feature unique patterns, rich wood grain, and texture to bring this style into your living room, kitchen, or den.
Artisan-Inspired Designs
Artisan styles are making their way from local cafes to professionally-designed homes. Mix and match furniture for a creative blend that better matches your aesthetic. Some of the pieces our interior designers come back to time and again feature handcrafted elements, natural elements, and a vintage-inspired style.
Intricate Metal Furniture
The last trend making waves in modern interior design is metalwork. However, unlike metal furniture pieces from the past, this style incorporates curves, right angles, and an abundance of intricate details. You can add these pieces to any area of your home for extra visual appeal, whether it’s a floor lamp, a bookcase, or shelving.
