The Housing Units Buying team recently embarked on an exhilarating journey to the renowned Milan Furniture Show, also known as the Salone del Mobile. This annual extravaganza stands tall as one of the world’s premier furniture exhibitions, drawing a staggering 360,000 visitors from 35 different countries. As a global leader in trends and pioneers of new concepts in furniture and furnishings, this event never fails to inspire and amaze.

Returning from this immersive experience, our team is excited to share some of the standout trends spotted that will be weaving their way into upcoming Housing Unit trends. These trends promise to shape the landscape of interior design in the coming months, offering fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to styling your homes.

Form and Function

Gone are the days when furniture was merely ornamental. The spotlight now shines brightly on pieces that seamlessly blend form and function. From chaise recliners to sofas with movable backs, functionality reigns supreme. It’s not just about aesthetics anymore; it’s about creating spaces that are both stylish and supremely comfortable, catering to the needs of modern living.

Bold Prints

In a world where self-expression knows no bounds, bold prints take centre stage. Statement fabrics, such as the eye-catching Eichholtz Caleb Dining Chair, captivate attention and inject personality into interiors. Whether it’s vibrant florals, geometric patterns, or abstract motifs, embracing bold prints is a sure fire way to make a statement and elevate any space from mundane to magnificent.

Innovative New Finishes

Dare to be different with innovative finishes that push the boundaries of traditional design. At the Milan Furniture Show, our team was mesmerized by the allure of ceramic limestone and crackled bronze glass. These unconventional materials add a touch of luxury and sophistication to furniture pieces, transforming them into works of art that exude elegance and charm.

As we reflect on our time at the Milan Furniture Show, one thing becomes abundantly clear – the world of interior design is constantly evolving, and innovation knows no bounds. From functional furniture that prioritises comfort to daring prints and innovative finishes, the possibilities are endless. We’re excited to incorporate these trends into our collections at Housing Units, bringing the essence of Milan to homes.
After all, the beauty of design lies in its ability to inspire and evoke emotion, and with each trend we embrace, we bring a piece of that beauty into our lives.
The 63rd edition of the Salone del Mobile, Milano will take place in Rho from 8-13th April 2025.
