The latest trends in leather furnishings for your Florida home
One could argue that leather never goes out of style, which by all accounts is true, but it will most certainly be one of the biggest design trends of 2022. From retro-inspired, mid-century modern sofas to traditional wingback chairs with a twist, leather furniture has the amazing ability to transcend time with its always-in-fashion attitude, no matter what the era.
Here are five things that are at the top of our list this year.
1. Ahead of the Curve
Be on the lookout for plenty of pieces with curved lines, especially sofas and armchairs. While curved furniture peaked in popularity during the Postmodern movement of the ՚70s and ՚80s, it’s officially making a considerable comeback, proving that design trends are always cyclical.
Curved furniture breaks up the monotony of straight lines (think rectangular coffee tables and consoles, square end tables) and softens the overall feel of your space by adding more fluid, organic forms.
Our Natuzzi Editions Armchair gets its shapely silhouette from thin, down-swept arms. Set on a stylish metal X-base in a glossy chrome finish, it exudes a dash of sleek Italian design.
At once luxurious and modern, our Stressless by Ekornes Wing Armchair has curves in all the right places for a contemporary take on classic design. Its sculptural profile and winged back envelop you in comfort, while padded arms offer full support.
A 360-degree swivel feature allows you to take the chair for a spin, while the patented glide system responds and works with the motion of your body to provide unparalleled comfort from every angle.
2. Down to Earth
This is the year for earthy color palettes as we continue to see a shift toward using shades of brown to evoke a warmer, more relaxed atmosphere. Decadent chocolates, creamy camels and burnt caramels top the charts, all deep neutral hues that play nicely with others.
The neatly tailored FLG Home Sofa in a rich, caramel hue is inspired by the mid-century modern aesthetic, with thin track arms and petite metal legs. Plump back cushions offer just the right amount of support, providing a comfy place to lounge.
3. Go Configure
Offering the utmost in flexibility, modular sectionals continue to hold strong. Not only are they great for big and small spaces alike, but they’re super simple to move from one area of the home to another, thanks to detachable components.
We also love how they bring family and friends together, allowing plenty of room for everyone to gather for lively conversations or movie nights, like our Natuzzi Editions Living Room Sectional.
Using patented motion technology that’s extra easy to use, the seats recline with the touch of the button to place everyone at the perfect angle.
4. Absolute Power
One of the biggest emerging trends this year? Furniture with built-in USB ports and electrical outlets to keep your smart devices close at hand while charging. These tech-savvy geniuses smarten up the way you lounge, with ports neatly hidden in an armrest or reclining mechanism.
Perfect for relaxing with family and friends, the Palliser Furniture Living Room Sofa Power Recliner takes comfort to the next level.
Managed using an activation switch that includes USB ports for charging electronic devices, the power headrests and footrests provide personalized comfort.
5. Return on Investment
While it’s easy to be tempted to purchase furniture on the cheap, the old adage, “you get what you pay for,” couldn’t ring truer.
Well made for long-lasting durability, high-quality furniture will offer years of enjoyment if properly maintained, proving time and again to be a sound investment.
The hallmark of the highest-quality leather is the lived-in patina that develops through daily use, giving each piece individual character.
The natural aging process tells a story over time, and we’re ready to listen.
