The industrial style has long dominated interior design trends, but this year, it’s moving in a new direction. The cold materials that once defined it, such as concrete floors and exposed architectural elements, are gradually being replaced by warmer, more inviting alternatives. The “Relaxed Industrial” style is a new, cozier version of traditional industrial design, bringing a sense of comfort and intimacy into homes.
COZY INTERIORS
According to Amy Youngblood, a leading interior designer, there will be a growing demand for warmer, cozier homes this year, as the cooler, industrial styles take a backseat. She predicts the use of warm and contrasting colors and materials, with a preference for movable furniture over built-ins, and an emphasis on sustainable materials such as recycled wood, cork, and recycled plastics and glass. The cold materials, like concrete floors and exposed architectural structures and pipes, are being phased out in favor of more inviting and comfortable design elements.
This atmosphere is further enhanced by the continued presence of the Future Retro trend, where nostalgia meets the future. Drawing inspiration from four decades of remarkable design, we incorporate elements of the virtual future into our homes. Playful shapes, bold colors, and patterns blend the past and future in our present, creating a unique and dynamic aesthetic.
The meeting of Relaxed Industrial and Future Retro results in homes that are not only aesthetically stunning but also warm and inviting. As trends evolve, so do the spaces we live in—now is the perfect time to explore the new, cozier side of industrial design.
