2020 brought several uncertainties and disrupted many industries. Interior and furniture design suffered significantly, with most jobs on hold as people stayed indoors. Although the pandemic is not yet over, designers are gradually getting back to doing what they do best.
Designers have taken to incorporating daring and colourful pieces with nature-inspired beauty into office and home designs. Below are common trends in furniture design, particularly in modern tables and stone furniture.
Big, bold, and nature-inspired colours
In the past few years, table colour trends have revolved around two aspects. One of the design trends is based on the colour treatment and beauty of wood to make the table’s pattern shine. The other trend is Scandi-inspired minimalism, and the Hygge philosophy took effect with light and contrasting dark shades dominating.
Designers are into classic colours, so they mix in bolder hues that evoke nature’s abundance. These trending colours for different stone tables and furniture pieces include earth tones, vibrant blues, high-contrast greys, olive greens and burnt oranges.
This furniture colour trend has been attributed to designers’ renewed passion for exploring nature-inspired, bolder patterns and colours.
Natural beyond wood
Although some people are still not on board with the trending furniture colours, almost everyone is fond of various natural stone designs for different furniture pieces, ranging from outdoor furniture to marble side tables, dining tables, and coffee tables.
Many people are familiar with the beautiful marble furniture design colours like grey Carrara and classic whites. We’ve now seen more black, red, gold, and vibrant blue marble stone table tops.
Small changes in the raw materials used in marble furniture have given rise to a range of amazing colours. Now, you can have your marble dining tables and other furniture in your desired colour, such as the Chinese deep green marble furniture.
People are tending towards natural materials, colours, and textures, so, apart from stone, designers also create unique furniture designs using other natural materials such as wood, glass, metal, and leather.
Natural stones
Marble is a common natural stone, but it is not the only stone design used in interior and furniture design. Aside from marble pieces like marble coffee table tops, we’ve seen various travertine and limestone furniture designs in different patterns and colours.
Natural table designs
The latest table and furniture trends are all about nature. In addition to natural stone materials and nature-inspired furniture designs, designers are also drawing inspiration from various organic forms.
Nature has abundant patterns and forms, from polished pebbled shapes to flawless ones and intricate geometric patterns. Many designers are drawing their inspiration for modern tables and other home furniture from nature’s forms.
Organic and technology
Besides drawing inspiration from nature, designers have also embraced technology to create various stone tables and home and office furniture. We now have connective and easily accessible power points on stone outdoor tables, even indoor furniture pieces due to the increased need for tables to work from comfortable places, not just offices.
Modern stone tables also offer cable management and other conveniences, allowing them to provide the resources needed without compromising their aesthetics and ergonomics.
