Furniture trends are like fashion trends; they’re constantly changing — sometimes they evolve, and sometimes they are recycled, like the more recent revival of the rattan furniture trend as bohemian interiors gain popularity especially amongst younger homeowners who wish to set themselves apart. If you’re looking to keep up with some of this year’s top furniture trends that will probably influence what you’re looking for in terms of furniture in Singapore, then read on to discover what some of these trends are.

Returning to Traditional Designs

Expect touches of sentimentality to return to homes this year, as furniture that feels more organic and nice to the touch are back in vogue. Getting furniture like a marble table in Singapore, English roll arm sofas, or other real wood, marble, linen, and mohair furniture will work great as staples of a traditional house. 

Biophilic Designs

After being cooped up at home for most of the past 2 years because of the pandemic, there’s understandably a desire to reconnect with nature in the spaces we spend most of our time in. This is especially so in an urban jungle like Singapore. To achieve that, there will be an increase in popularity of elements that create calming environments with natural lighting and ventilation whilst incorporating plants and other connections with nature. Scandinavian furniture in Singapore can help lighten the overall aesthetics of your home and give you that rustic, natural environment. 

Sustainable Furniture

Sustainability is a hot topic in today’s society, and many of us are more conscious about our purchases and whether they can be detrimental to the world we live in. Many kinds of wooden furniture, for example, consume several trees’ worth of materials, leading to a potential loss of animal and plant habitats and other potential risks to the environment. This is why more furniture designers are looking to more sustainable materials, like rattan or recycled wood.

Multifunctional Spaces

Another by-product of the pandemic is that we’ve learnt how the rooms in our home can be utilised in many different ways — a bedroom that doubles as a mini gym; a storeroom-cum-mini office; and so on. People are starting to embrace downsizing and maximising each room’s functionality. In Singapore, where new BTO flats tend to be smaller, this could be an inspiration to make the most of your living space, by not confining each room to just a single purpose. This is where getting furniture in Singapore like office table partition walls and storage units can come in handy, as they can help save space so your room can be more easily repurposed.

Bold Patterns and Colours

As homeowners continue to bring the outdoors in, expect bold colours — especially green, like Born in Color’s Bethany Modern Lux Velvet sofa in Singapore — and patterns to make their way into homes. This also includes paint and patterns, which work well with organic materials like leather and fur.
