In these difficult times, many people find themselves spending a lot of time at home, and that means a lot of time with their furniture. As with years past, 2020 has its own furniture trends. Check out some of these top trends that we are seeing in 2020. You may be inspired to do some redecorating!
One trend is for furniture that is made out of materials that are both natural and sustainable. This might mean furniture made from bamboo, a type of grass that’s used in place of hardwood, to recycled wood to natural stone.
Roomy, cozy beds are also a trend, including beds with upholstered head and footboards. A tufted headboard brings an extra touch of elegance. Add to this sumptuous bedding, including flannel sheets and weighted blankets for the colder months.
This trend is just the thing for people who live in small houses or tiny apartments. These can range from benches whose covers lift to reveal a storage space or that have cubbies for footwear. They can be cabinets that hold kitchenware, books, and linens while serving as a TV stand.
Because outside furniture has become so attractive, many homeowners deem it fit to come indoors. These pieces can include ceramic or stone ottomans or even statuary. Indoor/outdoor pillows and cushions can also find a place inside when it’s too cold to linger outside.
Metal furniture such as bookshelves have been popular for decades, but in 2020, these pieces may have unexpected angles, curves or other unexpected geometric features that can make them the focal point of a room. They are still available in wrought iron, chrome, brushed gold, silver, bronze, and other attractive metals.
Wicker is not what furniture is made of but a style where materials such as cane and rattan are woven. The trend now is not just for wicker chairs, settees, and tables, but for consoles and bookshelves with wicker doors and shelves. Woven rattan can be attractively combined with frames made of metal or wood.
Chairs and sofas upholstered in fabric that sports playful jungle patterns are becoming popular. These patterns include leaves and flowers of tropical plants, representations of animals that live in the jungle, such as jaguars and toucans, or a combination of both. The colors, of course, are vivid, and patterns can be realistic or stylized.
Furniture based on furniture from the 1950s is making a comeback. These pieces feature sleek, simple lines and back and seat cushions in colors such as mustard or royal blue. Frames are often made of real wood such as teak, and there’s an emphasis on the grain of the wood.
Blue seems to be the color for 2020, and shades of the color can be found on everything from the aforementioned upholstery of a sofa or chair, to a pattern in a rug to glass and fabric lamp shades, throw pillows, blankets, comforters, draperies and ottomans. More adventurous homeowners may paint wooden tables, chairs and case furniture shades of blue.
