The beauty of furniture trends (as opposed to fickle clothing fashion) is their durability. If you understand the trends and buy furniture now, you can be sure that it will be relevant 10 years later. In essence, new trends are a reflection of the reality around us. To keep up with the times and not buy outdated models, it is useful to follow news from the world of design. Experts Ekaterina Ershova and Yana Shamova, founders of the online service Deconly (@deconly_official), will talk about the main trends.
Natural colors
Colors are closely related to our emotions and mood. Thus, natural shades help create a warm, relaxed environment. Therefore, in 2022 there will be a growing demand for interiors in muted colors: beige, gray, brown, green. If cold shades are used, they are often diluted with warm ones.
Smooth lines
The interior ceases to be angular, smooth and rounded shapes appear. There is not enough calm in the world, designers subtly sense this and restore balance with the help of soft lines in the interior. This creates a safe space that calms our mind.
Popular models
If we talk about the popularity of furniture of the latest season, it can be noted that natural materials remain a priority. Current European collections present upholstered furniture in different natural shades, with particular preference this season being given to emerald green. The latest trends also include:
- Upholstered furniture in rich blue colors;
- Products with velvet upholstery;
- Beds with soft headboards;
- Models in “fashionable vintage” style;
- Geometrically strict designs.
However, in addition to rigor, restraint and retro chic, models with bright, flashy prints, patterned and decorated elements remain popular. Products using marble are also popular. It can be found on kitchen countertops, in the bathroom as a washbasin, as interior additions or on a coffee table.
Interesting models combine gloss with matte surfaces. For example, high-quality wood and genuine leather in different contrasting colors. Currently, furniture made from rattan and bamboo is at the peak of popularity. Lightness and practicality are the main features of the material. Sofas, armchairs, cabinets, and kitchen sets are made from it.

Strict forms
Popular furniture models include frameless options. They completely lack a wooden body. To fill the structure, a special non-crease filler is used, and the presence of practical covers allows them to be changed and washed frequently. But the most popular furniture remains the one that can save free space:
- Fashionable kitchen furniture ─ the selection criteria are dimensions and functionality;
- Cabinet furniture ─ functional furniture with many shelves and secret drawers for storing things is in demand. As well as tables and sofas with built-in music speakers that fold up and save free space;
- Transformable furniture ─ the structure folds up, hides in a closet, changes dimensions and appearance ─ this is a bed-wardrobe, a transforming bed, a folding bed.
There are no limits to human imagination. The main thing is that the furniture design should be convenient and comfortable.

The decoration of upholstered furniture also has a natural theme: ornaments with tropical plants, flowers, fruits and animals. This decision takes us to warm days, into an atmosphere of celebration and relaxation, which we often lack in everyday life. And the fresh green color gives you a good mood, relieves irritability and energizes you. By the way, green is one of those colors that will last in the interior for a long time.

examples of high fashion furniture
What are the latest furniture trends and how are they applied in the world of high fashion? Every year, furniture couturiers present original design projects:
- “Vershina” is an outlandish sofa, the back of which is made in the shape of a mountain, and in the place for the seat there is a “waterfall”.
- A black and white transformable sofa is a soft structure that can double in length and width (to create a sofa, two pairs of pillows are used - rectangular and cylindrical; when the sofa is unfolded, the pillows lie on the floor, and when assembled, the furniture appears in the form of an armchair).
- The “bedside table” is an original design solution by furniture couturiers who came up with the idea of transforming a cabinet (consists of two halves and slats) into the frame of a full-fledged place to sleep (a mattress can easily be placed on it).
- “Servant” is the name of a chair from a Danish designer who decided to combine a chair and a hanger in the product (the back and seat turn into it when folded out).
- “A haute couture chair is a product that only resembles the shape of a chair, in which 60s modernism was mixed with French Rococo.

Soft fabrics
Fabrics are no longer smooth; warm, tactile and plush surfaces are trending. The absolute trend is bouclé. This is a textured fabric consisting of large knots. A soft, cozy cloud where you want to sit and immerse yourself in a serene atmosphere. The surrounding environment influences a person’s state: smooth rounded shapes, soft surfaces, beige color, neutral background - all this sets the mood and relaxes. The designer, astrologer and psychologist told us who would suit a beige interior.
What furniture is currently popular among buyers?
What are the latest furniture trends that are particularly popular? Firstly, frameless options, which do not have a wooden body at all. A special non-crease material is used as a filler for the structures, and the covers in such models are very practical - they can be changed and washed often. Secondly, interior items that save space are the most in demand today:
- furniture for kitchens – functionality and dimensions are the main selection criteria;
- popular cabinet furniture - an abundance of shelves and hidden storage drawers are also an indicator of functionality; Folding tables and sofas with built-in music speakers are relevant, allowing you to save free space;
- Transformable furniture, changing dimensions and appearance, is at the peak of popularity of designs that can be folded, hidden in a closet, or pushed into the wall (folding beds, wardrobe beds, transforming beds).
Human imagination is limitless, including in relation to furniture design. There are many trends today, but the main ones dictate that the environment be comfortable and convenient.
Bold colors
Color is firmly entrenched in our lives, and in 2022 interiors will become even bolder. Against the background of a neutral finish, more bright accents appear: terracotta, mustard, rich green, deep blue. Accents can include furniture, textiles, decor, and art objects. The advantage of this approach is that decorative pillows, curtains or sofa upholstery can be easily replaced, and at the same time change the mood of the space. Such experiments are more relevant now than ever. Another expert also spoke about how to transform an apartment without renovation.

Modularity
Restrictions on movement have changed our way of life - now we stay at home more often for remote work and leisure. Therefore, there is a need to change the space to suit the mood and individual characteristics. In modern interiors we see more modular solutions: sofas, storage systems, work tables. Individual modules can be rearranged depending on the situation, and their number can be changed. Thus, a modular sofa with a side table can become a place for a work meeting, checking mail, a cozy breakfast or watching a movie with the family.
In each period of time, popular pieces of furniture can be identified, but at the same time there is a steady trend towards individuality. We recommend using in the interior, first of all, what you personally like. Rules are meant to be broken!
What other trends will be in fashion in a year are described here: 6 beautiful solutions in apartment design that will be popular in 2022.
World trends in furniture production
There are several well-known Western European trend bureaus that analyze the development of interior design and the fashion industry. They can predict trends for the coming year or several years. A team of specialists is working on such forecasts: sociologists, marketers, designers, psychologists. Before making public their assumptions about the latest trends, professionals carefully collect statistics (what is the lifestyle, education, professions of the people included in the study). Based on this information, forecasts of future trend directions are made.
The information received is presented in the form of a trend book to designers and other interested specialists - the collection containing the bureau's conclusions and forecasts clearly demonstrates which styles, colors, styles, basic and auxiliary materials will be in fashion.
Such trend books are useful for creating interesting furniture collections. After all, they contain a lot of ideas that manufacturers can use to be inspired and present interesting surprises to their customers. Even if manufacturing companies do not want to follow any fashion trends, trend setters should not be ignored.
Agree, creating trends is the job of knowledgeable and self-confident professionals who are able to find ideas for creativity, implement them, infect others with their energy and lead them.
International industrial exhibitions of furniture manufacturers, such as iSalone del Mobile, which has been held in the spring in Italy (Milan) for many years, allow you to follow the latest trends.
Those who do not have the opportunity to participate in the Milan exhibition can get acquainted with new furniture collections in the Russian capital in the fall, at iSaloni WorldWide Moscow (a branch of the Italian exhibition). Craftsmen from Italy are particularly responsive to consumer requirements; they pay a lot of attention to studying demand, working with designers from all over the world to implement new ideas in the latest furniture collections. Therefore, there is always something to learn from such professionals.
A deep understanding of market trends in combination with an innate sense of beauty allows Italians to create sought-after collections that are loved by Russian connoisseurs of quality furniture. Our consumers are ready to buy expensive products from Italian craftsmen who anticipate customer desires and create harmonious interior items.
Of course, the branch of the Milan exhibition in Russia cannot surpass the original Italian exhibition, which is so significant that it overshadows other international furniture salons. And it would be wrong to compare iSaloni in Moscow with iSaloni in Milan.
The Moscow exposition, rather, allows aspiring architects and designers to become partially acquainted with the latest trends without traveling to Europe, and to prove themselves on an international platform. The SaloneSatellite competition for young talents is very interesting - here you can meet the real future of industrial design, while the main competition arena showcases famous companies - trendsetters in the furniture industry.
Which of the latest trends in the Russian furniture market deserves special attention? The demands and fastidiousness of customers (to quality, production and delivery times, to price) are growing. And the guidelines and goals of Italian factories have shifted towards the Chinese market and winning the sympathy of its consumers. This affects the level of service for Russian clients (quality is falling, deadlines are not met), who are already becoming disillusioned with European manufacturers.
At the same time, interest in the premium line of goods made in Russia is growing, which allows domestic manufacturers to take positions in the Russian market that the Italians are losing. It is much easier to sell furniture in the mid-price category if you have premium products in your assortment that invariably attract the attention of customers.
Copper Accents
Modern designers readily use brass and copper for their projects. Headboards forged from copper or brass will create an airy atmosphere. The copper armchair frame can be filled with cushions. This furniture will fit perfectly into the interior of a small room. Legs of coffee tables or chairs, tabletops or seats can also be used as copper accents.
Outdoor furniture trends (garden and patio furniture)
Outdoor furniture, unlike home furniture, in 2022 is acquiring increasingly bright and expressive shades. Designers believe that it should stand out against the general background, and not merge with the greenery of trees and lawns. If the furniture was originally purchased in subdued colors, then you can “revive” it with the help of pillows, mattresses and covers in rich rich tones.
The shape of garden furniture should be either emphatically strict or deliberately rounded. These two design directions exist in parallel and provide us with extensive opportunities for experimentation. For example, cube tables and rectangular sofas are very relevant in 2022. However, you can also install a cozy rocking chair in the form of a cocoon on the terrace. It is recommended to give preference to the following options from materials:
- wood - this material is a timeless classic; it looks very attractive and solid and allows you to embody the most unconventional fantasies due to its plasticity and expressive texture; usually tables, chairs and benches are made from wood;
- stone – garden benches made from this material are distinguished by their originality and durability; The flower beds built into them look very original;
- metal - forged tables, chairs and benches will undoubtedly become a real decoration of the personal plot; they are very elegant and at the same time resistant to adverse weather conditions (if they are coated with a special anti-corrosion compound);
- textiles - this material is relevant for soft sofas, chaise lounges, rocking chairs and armchairs.
Whatever material you choose, be sure to make sure that it will provide the furniture with the necessary practicality and attractiveness, and you with the required level of comfort.
Focus on stylish accents
Laconism and simplicity have remained popular for many years. This year, designers recommend filling the interior with many bright and pretty details.
The following style solutions will be fashionable:
- Different methods of screeding - from the classic to the diamond-shaped version;
- Wooden details in the design of the armrests;
- Inserts of different textures and shades;
- Metal rivets;
- Elements in steel, chrome or brass.

White color, like no other, silently accepts any combination and will tolerate all accents. In the case of soft lilac shades and dark-colored furniture, it will add vitality and joyful notes to the interior of the living room. Roller shutters can be an excellent alternative to curtains and tulle.
Severity and pathetic solemnity can be created through a combination of classic black and white tones. Stylish things in the decor will be very useful. On the white background of the living room, a symbiosis of brown and beige shades included in the upholstery of upholstered furniture elements will look chic. It will be good if the room has large window openings, then the light will create a cozy tranquility.

Gentle muted tones in the decoration of walls and furniture will help you feel the volume of the room and expand the space. The best option would be to functionally divide the room into zones.
Floral motifs
Textiles with floral prints are a great way to give your interior a cozy spring atmosphere. However, there is a main rule here: if the furniture is upholstered with flowers, then it is better to avoid wallpaper with a similar pattern. If several furniture elements are decorated with floral material, then it is advisable to use companion fabrics in the same color palette, but with different patterns. This approach will eliminate overload with ornaments and allow you to comply with fashion trends.
Helpful advice from Novate.ru: The selection of colors for furniture with a floral pattern depends on the style of the interior:
• For shabby chic and Provence - delicate and romantic shades: sand, pink, lavender, sand, blue. Fabric with a small pattern on a light background is ideal. Lilacs or roses will embody the romanticism of both styles. • For Scandinavian - monochrome upholstery, with a clear pattern. • For country style - textiles in warm shades: olive, beige, brown, fresh green, red. • For eclecticism - furniture upholstery in neutral colors. It is this style that allows you to combine a vintage sofa with a floral pattern with a chrome table.
Black and white color scheme
The combination of black and white is a win-win option at all times. This color tandem is beyond fashion and time. That is why designers willingly use it for fashionable furniture finishing. The visual contrast of black and white creates an atmosphere of courage and confidence. This combination is most relevant for the avant-garde high-tech style. However, it should be borne in mind that the alternation of black and white should not be frequent, otherwise the zebra effect will result. Designers advise diluting this color scheme with rich red, gray, blue, burgundy, green or yellow.
