Furniture
Straight lines are giving way to rounded shapes, and circles are seen everywhere: in lamps, rugs, mirrors, furniture and more. Ovoid and oval shapes also are seen. The sofas and chairs of the year have curved lines, giving interiors a soft feeling.

Materials
Interiors continue to revolve around raw wood, usually light-colored oak or darker walnut. Thin furniture legs in powder-coated or galvanized black metal are continuing to have momentum.
Terrazzo and light-colored woven rattan are essentials, while sophisticated notes dot interiors in the form of brass details and marble finishes. Armchairs and sofas are upholstered in short-pile velvet or curly wool.

Glass is showing up in gridded, textured and iridescent forms.
Patterns
Geometric patterns — herringbone, stripes, small checks and circular patterns — are being paired with floral motifs. Speckled patterns are continuing to rise to the occasion.
The turning point of the year for patterns lies in the evolution of florals into less exotic but equally refreshing patterns based on both large flower patterns and tiny prints.
Patterns from the 1930s are continuing to be on-trend, inspired by the Art Deco movement. These include patterns featuring palms, cornices, hand fans, fringes, semicircles, rectangles and squares.

Colors
The colors of the year are muted, earthy and close to nature, with green still in the spotlight. Fir green, the big color of 2019, is still present here and there, but the new green of the year ahead is tinged with yellow and tends toward warmer khaki or olive.
A number of warm colors — powder pink, peach, coral, terra cotta, blood red, wine red, burnt orange, ocher, amber, sienna and nutmeg — will be enlivening interiors this year. Blue is in decline, though Klein blue and denim are still popular shades.

While interior palettes have tended toward safe monochrome in the last few years, harmonies and contrasts of several colors now are key; designers are playing with primary and secondary tones and balancing dark and light. Particularly noteworthy combinations at this fall edition of the fair were khaki, sienna and powder pink; yellow-green, denim and burnt orange; and peach, nutmeg and linden green.
