Soon, we’ll want our homes to be warm, cozy, and stylish again. So why not take a look at the furniture trends for fall 2024 now and get inspired?

1. Naturally Sitting on Rattan

The soft nature look suits furniture particularly well in fall 2024. Whether rattan or another type of wicker, the key is natural and cozy.

Soon, interior design will take on an airy feel: Rattan is making a comeback as a furniture trend in fall 2024. Known as Vienna wicker, it primarily adorns seating furniture like chairs and lounge chairs. But the soft nature look also suits dressers, sideboards, lowboards, and highboards perfectly. After all, wicker like rattan brings plenty of boho and ethnic vibes into the living space. Combined with organic, flowing shapes that mostly avoid edges and corners, the new seating options offer even more comfort.

2. Chrome Remains Chic

Chrome continues to be in demand in interior design. Besides accessories, the mirrored material is particularly captivating in small furniture. Here, it’s mainly side tables with modern wireframe designs or subtly futuristic stools. These create looks in the living space that not only add an elegant accent but also come across as sophisticated. After all, the metallic shiny surface brings reflections and thus more brightness into the home. And isn’t that what we long for when the days become shorter and darker again?

3. Upholstered Furniture with Texture

Some things can be relied upon in fall, like the wet and cold days in November. Year after year, textiles with charming textures dress our sofas, armchairs, and poufs. With covers like velour or velvet, it’s even more inviting to snuggle into the cushions as the season cools. Particularly cozy, but above all fluffy, are the new upholstered furniture pieces with bouclé or teddy fabric covers.

And one more textile should not be missing from the furniture trends for fall 2024: corduroy. With its pronounced texture, whether coarse or fine, the fabric brings not only nostalgic 70s charm but also more three-dimensionality to the living space. In addition to its pleasant feel, corduroy also optimally retains warmth and is considered durable.

4. Cabinets and Seating in Seventies Look

The 70s have long been back in fashion and lifestyle, and retro looks are increasingly making their way into living spaces. Furniture designs from the 50s are also in demand. Therefore, the focus in the upcoming fall season is primarily on cabinets and seating that can be dark and massive or light and curved. The key is natural, as the material of the moment is clearly wood. With its vast variety of colors and textures, this furniture trend for fall 2024 brings the necessary warmth and coziness to the interior as temperatures continue to drop outside. And there’s more good news for the upcoming season: Just because the furniture is often made of dark solid wood doesn’t mean tables, sideboards, and the like have to appear bulky and cumbersome. Their soft, rounded edges ensure they don’t.

5. High-Tech, Minimalism, and Multifunction

How do these three aspects come together? Multifunctionality in living spaces is still in demand, and with rising rent prices and the resulting scarcity of living space, even more so than ever. A minimalist decor–also for sustainable reasons–and multifunctional furniture seem to be the solution. A Murphy bed, a foldable wall table, or a sofa bed can optimize the living space. And another innovation awaits us in the furniture trends for fall 2024.

More and more, furniture is being combined with high-tech solutions, with seating options soon able to charge all electronic devices

Modern technologies are clearly making their way into all areas of our lives, including our living spaces. Nowadays, there are more and more smart seating options that, for example, have an integrated USB port. This way, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more no longer need to be charged at a power outlet that’s too far away but can be conveniently used while sitting in a comfortable chair.
