The main furniture trends for 2027 point to sculptural dining tables with expressive bases, softer upholstered dining chairs, calm hotel-like bedrooms, coffee tables designed as sets, and sideboards and consoles that mix warm wood, lacquer, metal and coloured marble. The palette behind them is warm and muted: browns, toasted tones, ochre, orange and soft greens. These directions came through clearly at Salone del Mobile in Milan in April 2026, and most of them can be brought into an existing home one piece at a time.
Sofas have their own story, which we cover in our guide to sofa trends for 2027. Here we look at the rest of the home: the dining room, the bedroom, the living-room tables and the pieces along the walls that hold a room together. As furniture makers, we focus on what each trend means in materials and proportions, not only in pictures.
Sculptural dining tables: the base takes centre stage
In Milan, the dining table was one of the clearest statements. Tables were given imaginative bases: stacked marble, heavy volumes with a brutalist feel, and shapes borrowed from architecture. The top stays calm and simple; the base does the talking.
Our Samurai dining table follows the same idea, with a dark wood top resting on a heavy, block-shaped base. Before choosing a table like this, check a few practical points:
- Legroom: a large central base can limit where chairs and knees go, especially at the ends of the table.
- Number of chairs: plan the seats around the base, not only around the size of the top.
- Weight and floor: stone and block bases are heavy, so think about the floor and how the table will be carried into the room.

Upholstered dining chairs that feel like small armchairs

Next to sculptural tables, dining chairs are becoming softer and more enclosing. Fully upholstered chairs with a rounded back and short arms invite people to stay at the table after the meal, which suits homes where the dining table is also the place to talk, work and host guests. Milan also showed new interest in the tubular chair, reworked with softer lines, so metal frames and upholstery are meeting in new ways.
The Cindy dining chair is a good example: an enveloping upholstered shape in a textured beige cover, castors that make it easy to move on a hard floor, and a handle on the back. When you choose upholstered chairs, the cover matters as much as the shape. Genuine leather wipes clean easily and gains character with use; fabric feels warmer to the touch and offers more colours and textures. We compare both in our guide to upholstered dining chairs with arms, in leather or fabric.
Inside, our upholstered pieces are built on kiln-dried beech frames, with high-resilience (HR) foam and sprung seating, so the softness is supported by a firm structure.
The bedroom as a calm hotel suite

Hotel-inspired living was one of the clearest themes in Milan. The idea is simple: a bedroom that feels as quiet and ordered as a good hotel room, with high-quality textiles, carefully finished wood and nothing that competes for attention. Wellness is part of the same thinking: the bedroom is treated as a place to rest, not as a second living room.
A tall upholstered headboard does much of this work. On the Bravo bed, the headboard with vertical channels runs wide, behind the bedside tables, and a bench at the foot of the bed repeats the same upholstery. The room reads as one composition. A few principles help:
- One main material: repeat the headboard upholstery on a bench or an armchair instead of adding new colours.
- Soft light: pendant lights or wall lights beside the bed keep the bedside tables clear.
- Quiet colour: greys, warm whites, taupe and deep browns work better than strong contrasts.

Coffee tables in sets and pairs
The Equale coffee table set: black tops on slim metal frames, at two heights.
A single large coffee table is giving way to coordinated sets: two or three tables of different heights and sizes, or a pair designed to work together. Sets are more flexible in daily life. You can pull a smaller table towards an armchair, keep a clear path through the room and change the arrangement when guests come.
The Equale coffee tables show the idea clearly: black tops on slim metal frames, one low and wide, one taller and smaller. When you plan a set, keep the difference in height visible, repeat at least one material between the tables, and leave enough space to reach a cup from the sofa. We go into sizes and combinations in our guide to combining nesting and grouped coffee tables.
Sideboards and consoles: walnut, lacquer, brass and coloured marble
Storage pieces are where the 2027 material story is most visible. Milan showed lacquered surfaces, metal with colour and three-dimensional finishes, coloured and textured glass, and marble in brown, burgundy, grey, green and blue rather than only white. Warm woods such as walnut sit at the centre of this mix.

The Myra sideboard combines glossy walnut doors with brass framing, a pairing that brings warmth to a stone or concrete floor. On a long wall, a low sideboard like this also draws a calm horizontal line that anchors the room.

Consoles are taking on a more sculptural role in entrances and hallways. The HTC console has a curved shape, a dark veined top and an open brass frame with a geometric pattern; placed under a mirror, it turns a passage into a small composition. If you are drawn to coloured marble, a console or sideboard top is a sensible place to start, because the stone is seen up close without dominating the room. Our marble materials page shows the options.
Ordinate sideboard with relief-pattern doors.
Texture is the other half of the story. Wood boiserie, three-dimensional tiles and mirror on walls were shown as maximalist backgrounds, and the same idea works on furniture fronts. The doors of the Ordinate sideboard carry a geometric relief that catches the light differently through the day. See more models in the sideboards collection.
The 2027 palette: warm, muted and toasted
The colour direction for 2027 is warm and slightly muted: browns, toasted tones, ochre, orange and muted greens. It suits walnut, dark lacquer, brass and coloured marble, and it is easy to introduce gradually.
- Start with large surfaces: a walnut sideboard or a brown leather armchair sets the base tone.
- Add colour in small doses: ochre or orange works well on cushions, a single chair or a vase.
- Use green as a calm accent: muted green in marble, glass or fabric balances the warm browns.
