Interior design trends shift toward space-saving furniture and DIY renovation
Interior design trends are shifting toward space efficiency and furniture renovation. As the furniture market faces a decline, many consumers are opting to renovate existing leather furniture rather than purchasing new pieces. Techniques such as leather dyeing can restore scratched or faded sofas for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
In terms of layout, architects are increasingly moving away from large corner sofas, which are criticized for consuming excessive floor space and obstructing natural light and movement. Instead, there is a resurgence of interest in the 1950s-style tuxedo sofa. Characterized by straight lines and armrests aligned with the backrest, this model offers a more refined and space-conscious alternative to modern bulky sectional designs.
