What are the trends in furniture and interior in 2017?
“Friendly”, “comfortable” and “warm” are the three words to characterize the home & furniture trends in 2017. Designers strive to create a space where you can have a good rest after a hard day. In the era of social media and virtual space, the home should look like a quiet haven. Therefore, smooth finishes, thick fabrics and plush textures should become the main point in the furniture and interior. Wood surfaces and calm color palette must be presented as well to create a home of well-being.
