As 2025 approaches, the buzz around new furniture trends is growing, but let’s take a moment to focus on what’s hot right now. While it’s fun to stay on top of trends, remember—your home, your style. There’s no need to follow trends too strictly, but taking inspiration can help you create a space you love.
Individual Style Is In, All Same Grey Homes Are Out
One of the most exciting shifts in recent years is the move away from identical, grey-toned homes. We’re seeing a beautiful resurgence of individuality in interior design. Homes are becoming more personal, filled with character and charm. The best part? It’s all about making your space your own, a place that brings you happiness. After all, your home is your castle, and it should reflect you.
Sustainability: The Trend That’s Here to Stay
While there are many emerging trends, one of my all-time favourites—and something that will continue to shape the future—is sustainability. In 2023, we’ve seen an increase in people choosing to:
- Reuse furniture rather than buy new,
- Upcycle old pieces, giving them new life,
- And one trend that’s really catching on: choosing ex-display furniture.
Why Ex-Display Furniture?
Ex-display furniture is an often-overlooked gem in the world of interior design. Not only is it incredibly eco-friendly, but it’s also on-trend and budget-friendly. Here’s why it’s a must-have in today’s sustainable home:
- Eco-friendly: Giving ex-display pieces a second chance means reducing waste and environmental impact. Instead of buying brand new, you’re helping to extend the life cycle of quality furniture.
- Designer style for less: Ex-display pieces are high-quality, carefully selected items that have been showcased in stores. You can bring these designer looks into your home at a fraction of the cost.
- Unique finds: Most of the time I have only one of each. When it's gone, it's gone.
Mix and Match: The Art of Balancing Old and New
A trend that’s really taken off is the idea of blending old with new. Whether it’s mixing a pre-loved or ex-display piece with modern décor or pairing a charity shop find with contemporary furniture, the result is a space that feels personal, stylish, and sustainable.
This approach allows you to keep your home fresh and up-to-date while maintaining your own unique style.
