In the last couple of years, everything about how most of us live has changed. For some people, 2020 brought permanent changes, and for other people, the hectic year served as a reminder of the things in life that really matter.
Above all, homes became places that had to serve multiple purposes. With employees working from home and children taking daily classes at home, the house as we know it had to change and living room furniture trends have reflected that.
Below, you can read about all of the latest and the best new living room trends and what you can expect to see next.
Many of us spent way more time in our homes in the last two years than we would normally do, and people are overwhelmingly insisting that their furniture be accommodating and comfortable.
Furniture now has softer edges, and homeowners and apartment dwellers are looking for more organic prints, comfortable textiles, and earth-colored neutrals.
Travel has been hampered because of all of the changes in the world, and people are developing a bit of wanderlust. We are seeing this reflected in not just decor, but also in furniture pieces.
Anything that reminds you of your favorite travel destinations is fair game. Whether you're creating an accent wall or decorating with rattan end tables, you can bring the world into your living room.
Bold textures are getting a lot of attention right now, and that's not going to change anytime soon. Fabrics like bouclé on upholstered furniture such as ottomans, chairs, and sofas are going to become even more popular as we move into 2022. These interesting details add personality and warmth to living spaces.
People who are still nervous about embracing warmer colors and bolder color palettes are more comfortable going with nicely textured nubbly fabrics. For the living room, this can start to appear in the form of seagrass baskets and large jute rugs that add texture to the rooms. Regardless of your preferred decorating style, you can easily hop onto this textural trend, whether you prefer coastal, boho, transitional, or even minimalism.
If you've been wanting a funky curved couch or loveseat, now is the time to do it. Curves are going to continue to be in style and soft curves work well with the natural materials and organic textiles that are equally popular.
Beyond sofas, however, we are also seeing more curves in coffee tables. When you pair a squared-off sofa with a coffee table that's curvy, it can create a major statement. It all comes down to balancing out your material choices and your silhouette. Also, creating contrast is always a stunning way to accent.
The sleek and stark pieces of the 2010s are gone for now, and people are leaning into furniture pieces and decor that are whimsical. For example, pleated skirts or ruffles on sofas and furniture made from surprising materials are being seen more often.
In 2020, we began to see warmer tones appear and this will continue on into 2022. More than ever, people have started embracing home as their safe space and warm tones drive that point home. We want cozy spaces that embrace us right now and this trend reflects that innate human need.
Moving forward, we will continue to see much fewer neutral and gray colors. People want to bring their own personalities into their living spaces.
In 2020, and on into 2021, our living rooms served as our home offices and our kitchen tables were pulled into service as elementary school and high school classrooms. With all of this going on, furniture has to be pretty hardworking. The best new living room trends reflect that.
People who are buying new furniture are expecting their furniture to be more versatile. Our spaces have to be flexible and accommodating to whatever happens in the world that affects the lives of our family members.
People want their living rooms to be approachable, comfortable, functional, and usable. To achieve more seating areas in the living room, you can consider adding another sofa if you have room, a gaming table, library tables, and isolated seating areas where people can read.
Expanding the seating areas in your living room will make the living room a true family gathering place and this is one of the best new living room trends.
