Furniture Trends Fall 2023
When it comes to refreshing a room without doing a full remodel, new furniture and accent pieces can make a big impact. These pieces not only add functionality to a space, they can also serve as a stamp of personal style. From oversized statement seating to sculptural side tables, these pieces can be an opportunity to add an element of interest or even a splash of color that will elevate your interior.
While a full renovation isn’t always feasible, shopping for new home furnishings is a way to freshen up the look of your space without breaking the bank. From sleek modern silhouettes to organic and reclaimed wood, here are some of the furniture trends fall 2023 that are worth considering.
One trend that’s here to stay is the movement toward heirloom-quality, made-to-order furniture. Designed and built to last a lifetime or more, these pieces are crafted with enduring materials that show off craftsmanship and design details. This trend is a reaction to the throwaway, low-quality “fast” furniture era that’s on the decline and a move towards sustainable products with an eye for longevity.
Another trend we saw in showrooms this season was a focus on curved shapes. Curves not only create a modern aesthetic, but they’re a great way to add dimension to a space. We saw curved doors, mirrors, and feature walls in many of the furniture collections we visited this fall. We also noticed several curved sofas, including this Reveal swivel chair from Arteriors that features cerused wood handrests.
In addition to the rounded shapes we’ve seen in previous seasons, another curve that was popular at this market was sloped arms. These angled angled of arms on sofas and chairs offer a more relaxed, casual, and inviting aesthetic that is perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
As for upholstery fabrics, we saw a lot of mix-and-match styles and eras in showroom vignettes this year. From Art Deco and the 1970s to classical and midcentury Brazilian design, blending a variety of designs and influences is a way to create a truly unique interior.
We also saw an increase in textured fabrics in showrooms, from plush faux fur to rattan and cane. Whether woven with a natural fiber or in a performance weave, these textures can instantly elevate a space.
Lastly, we noticed that people aren’t afraid to be bold with color and pattern this season. Whether it’s the vibrant pink tufted chair from Barry Dixon or the black leather accent chair from Loloi, these bold statements are making their way into homes across America.
Another trend that’s been around for years, but is gaining traction in 2023 is the do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to decorating. From repurposed furnishings to boho chic cabinets, this DIY trend can be a cost-effective way to update your home with the latest style trends.
