The Interior Trends To Tap Into Now
From energy-boosting color palettes to a warmer take on minimalism and talking-point pieces to set your space apart, these are the interior trends on the rise. By KATIE BERRINGTON
Personality pieces
Talking-point, eye-catching objects are trending, adding whimsy and intrigue to spaces. These pieces offer a jubilant uplift, infusing idiosyncrasy and humor into any room. The beauty is that such distinctive designs can work in any style of space – whether as part of a maximalist mix of eccentric, playful pieces or as a solo centerpiece that adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise pared-back aesthetic.
The surrealist tableware from Gohar World by sisters Laila and Nadia Gohar is sure to delight guests when they sit down to dinner, while the unconventionally shaped pieces from L’Objet (such as the intricately carved porcelain swan bowls) bring an element of surprise to a refined tablescape. Alighieri’s exquisite Modern Heirloom pieces (cast from 100% recycled silver and gold) are as captivating as they are functional, and Completedworks’ richly hued, organically molded glassware and pearl-embellished vases are practically works of art in themselves.
Mid-century minimalism
The sleek style of mid-century modernism offers a warmer approach to embracing the serene benefits of minimalism. Think curved silhouettes, a mix of natural materials, and earthy tones for a space that feels both inviting and orderly. Louise Roe’s voluptuous vases have an organic, sculptural quality that makes for an alluring focal point, while the clean lines of Natalia Criado’s silverware are offset by intriguing jewelry-inspired adornments. For a fun take on curved forms, Fourth Street’s artful and abstract pieces – such as the ‘Dancing Duo’ candlesticks and signature egg sculptures – add the perfect amount of lightheartedness.
Dopamine décor
Playful color palettes, bursts of vibrant shades or a kaleidoscopic mix will continue to spark joy across interiors this year. Saturating a room or table in a bold tone can add depth and grounding, while bright accents enliven a more neutral scheme.
Look to the energy-boosting, party-ready jewel tones of La DoubleJ’s fabulously maximalist tableware and Reflections Copenhagen’s geometric, Art Deco-inspired crystalware – both will instantly elevate a table setting. For a more classical touch, Ginori 1735’s floral-painted porcelain blends centuries-old Italian artisanal techniques with vivid shades of pink, blue, green and red. Meanwhile, Murano-based Yali Glass’s opulent-colored pieces are crafted using time-honored methods dating back to the 13th century.
A return to the classics
We are seeing a resurgence of classical homeware brands steeped in heritage and history, focusing on distinctive, specialty fabrication and unparalleled craftsmanship. These timeless pieces – think crystal glasses, silver serving dishes, and ceramic candlesticks and vases – bring an elegant, heirloom-worthy essence to interiors. Look to brands such as Christofle, a former supplier to King Louis-Philippe and Emperor Napoleon III, which has been creating its gold and silver tableware since 1830. Parisian workshop Astier De Villatte also uses 18th-century techniques to craft its one-of-a-kind ceramics.
