A popular addition to kitchens this year, a window seat helps curate a social space or a blissful spot for sipping your morning coffee.
Soft, sculptural silhouettes
Clean lines and precision angles have been a stalwart of contemporary interior design in recent years, but 2024’s furniture trends tempt you to soften your statement pieces with feminine arches that encourage the floatiest of flows through your pared-back, elegant spaces.
Sculptural silhouettes that boast undulating curves allow furniture to take the eye on a journey through the room, creating a sense of depth and connecting different zones for harmonious style cohesion. Find sweeping lines within our selection of coffee tables that allow you to finesse this organic, sculptural look with one statement piece. Make a statement in your living room with the curvaceous style themes of our Horseshoe black lacquered linen coffee table. Let your furniture exist as a functional piece of art in your home, adding impact and character with just one clever purchase.
Neutrals to nourish...plus a pop of personality
The modern home’s trusted neutrals are being reimagined in 2024, with the arrival of both cool and warm Scandi-inspired earthy taupe, beige and off-white shades that soothe. The ideal soft tonal scheme for complementing the natural materials that are making a splash this year, nurture neutrals in your home using your sofa and accent chairs, which you can style with complementary throws and accent pillows to add depth to your understated palette. A masterclass in warm neutrals, CB2’s Fitz Grey swivel chair makes an inviting seating addition.
With a calming, neutral foundation, 2024 dares us to be a little bolder in the design stakes, adding a splash of colour to liven up our interiors. The trending colours tempting us to stamp our personalities on our homes are bright and highly saturated. Though soft furnishings are the safe way to add this vibrancy to a room, be brave with deeply pigmented dining chairs, lounge seating and ottomans, such as our striking Bea blue velvet ottoman.
Vintage vibes for the modern backdrop
The iconic retro style of the groovy seventies is making a mainstream comeback this year. If the thought of busy psychedelic prints in your Zen home sends you into a panic, fear not! 2024’s furniture trends have handpicked the style highlights from this pioneering decade, translating the key themes into pieces that add chic vintage vibes to the modern home. If it’s time for a new sofa, salute the seventies with a low-lying, over-stuffed sofa such as our Lenyx leather sofa, and embrace their comforting curves.
Nail the look with rich, dark woods and high-gloss lacquered furniture, brought into your room through accent tables and consoles for a vibe that whispers of the era and avoids seventies submersion. Our Bayamo dark wood bar cabinet boasts midnight blue lacquer, capturing the seventies look effortlessly.
