Oversized canvases, bold colors and eco-friendly designs will be in trend this year. It’s time for homeowners to take the lead and express their versatile, creative and extravagant sense of style through their home’s furniture. Forget about classic hardwood tables and chairs as this 2015 we’re going for unusual materials and unexpected sizes, shapes and design. Here are 10 of the coolest furniture design trends for 2015.
1. Color pop
Forget about boring beige couches and sofas. This 2015, we’re adding color. You’ve got two options: you can throw away your old couch and purchase a new one, or you can “dress” the old one. Regardless of your choice, make sure the new tone you’ve chosen brings your whole living room to life. Modern living rooms have a neutral backdrop in 2015 in order to allow the furniture and the accessories to shine. That being said, a fuchsia couch with vintage-inspired patterns will go perfectly with those oversize vases you just placed next to the window.
2. Shelves
Built-in shelves are a cheap way of creating a modern bookcase without investing thousands of dollars on new furniture. In fact, this 2015 open-shelving is a design trend we’ll see in the kitchen, too. Display books and photos in the living area, but make sure to keep everything organized to have balance and create a soothing ambiance.
3. Glass furniture
Furniture made of glass is cool, interesting and extravagant. Although it’s a bit expensive, investing in a top-quality coffee table made of glass will be worth it. Stay away from classic shapes and models that feature mixed materials (wood and glass), and opt for all-glass tables. They’re simple, yet so inspiring!
4. Clean lines in the bedroom
This 2015 we’re witnessing a complete makeover in the bedroom. Everything looks clean and simple. Sheets are white, drapes are white, and the overall mood of your sleeping place should scream cleanness. However, you don’t want to make the bedroom seem too cold. Dim the lights, add flowers and candles to create a romantic mood.
5. Built-in furniture
Built-in furniture permits homeowners to save space and make room for storage, both vertically and horizontally. The deeper you go the higher chances you have to create impact. Built-ins provide a framework for a wealth of needs: storage of TV and media equipment, photos, books, collectibles, and more.
6. Retro-inspired furniture
Commonly known as pin-up-inspired furniture, this idea for decorating your home is not just ingenious, but also gallant. Can your home handle such an amalgam of patterns, shapes and colors? Because that’s what retro means; the 50s style is back. Decorative pillows made of turquoise plush and polka-dot patterns are about to revolutionize the general appearance of your living room.
7. Futuristic bathroom furniture
Who doesn’t love a beautiful bathroom? This year, it’s all about futuristic influences. Aside from being environmentally friendly, 2015 bathrooms are neat and simple, yet extravagant at a closer look. Marble flooring, glass bathtubs, and minimalistic cabinetry will give your bath a unique, modern allure.
8. Textured walls
Textured walls are the next big thing in interior design. These 3D patterns create the most dramatic look and they add movement to your personal space. Pair a dining table made of sheer glass with a textured wall and enjoy the result.
9. Bras is class
Warm metallic tones will give your room a royal allure. However, not everyone can afford to spend money on golden bowls and other ornamental décor items; brass makes spaces look expensive and luxurious. You can either have accessories made of brass, or invest in furniture with brass accents – chairs with brass legs, cabinets with brass knobs, and so on.
10. Marsala influences
Marsala is this year’s dominant color. It goes beautifully with a classic home design, but it can also be incorporated in vintage-inspired homes. Marsala is a warm cheery nuance; it is extremely luxurious and it adds opulence and originality into your home.
This year’s newest trends in furniture design are deeply linked to the rest the accessories spread around your home. Regardless of the budget you have available, what really matters is to have original ideas. Mix and match, get inspired from the ideas of top designers, and put your creativity to the test with some great DIY projects. Whatever you do, just remember – it’s your home and you should make it look and feel comfortable.
