The future of furnishing

WHAT UPCOMING DESIGN TRENDS SHOULD VENUE OPERATORS KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS SPRING/SUMMER?

“In 2023, we expect to see more extraordinary and creative interiors becoming the new norm. Hospitality design will continue to develop with more emphasis on functionality, comfort, curves and styles that embody an eco-friendly approach. Nature and conscious living are big trends for the spring/summer ‘23 season. Think woods, natural stones and recycled plush fabrics, which echo a huge movement in sustainability.”

HOW CAN VENUE OPERATORS MAKE SURE TO MAXIMISE THEIR SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE A LARGER AUDIENCE?

“Venue operators should focus on slim profile styles that breathe a feeling of space and serenity into the design space. The use of slimline styles will enable operators to incorporate more furniture into their floor plan without overpopulating the space, which would make it feel crowded and bulky.”
