Trends in Home Furnishings
If you’ve recently bought new construction in Savannah, GA, or are thinking about buying a new home, chances are you’ll be shopping for new furniture to complement your space. In fact, you may even be furnishing your entire home from scratch! If you’re investing in new pieces, we’d love to share some of the latest trends in home décor. Our Design Studio team stays on top of what’s fresh, functional, and stylish to help you personalize your new Ernest home.
Go Green
Today’s furniture trends lean heavily toward sustainability. Environmentally conscious, recycled, and repurposed materials are more popular than ever. Interest in antique and vintage furniture has also surged — these pieces were often built with natural materials and superior craftsmanship. Restoring vintage items yourself can be rewarding and budget-friendly.
Size is Everything
Modern homes favor furniture that is smaller, sleeker, and less ornate. Cleaner lines and a contemporary aesthetic help homeowners maximize space — especially in open-concept layouts like those found in many Ernest Homes floor plans.
Multipurpose Furniture
With space at a premium for many families, multi-functional pieces are increasingly popular. Think ottomans with hidden storage, sleeper chairs, fold-away bars, and beds with built-in bookcase headboards. These pieces are practical, space-saving, and stylish.
The New Face of Leather
Leather is making a comeback in bold new ways. Available in updated silhouettes and designer colors, leather upholstery is durable, easy to maintain, and long-lasting.
Beyond Your Everyday Bed
The sleep industry has evolved rapidly, offering memory foam, cooling technology, adjustable bases, and customizable firmness options. Whatever your preference, it’s easier than ever to find your perfect fit for a restful night’s sleep.
Custom-Built Furniture
More homeowners are turning to custom furniture makers to create pieces tailored to their exact needs. Even popular furniture brands now offer expanded customization options, allowing you to design pieces that complement your home’s layout and style.
Outdoor Furniture Takes Center Stage
With more buyers extending their living areas into covered porches, sunrooms, and patios, outdoor furniture has become more stylish and versatile. Today’s outdoor textiles offer durability, comfort, and beautifully curated patterns, making them suitable both indoors and outdoors.
Technology-Based Furniture
From entertainment centers to bedroom furniture, many pieces now integrate digital functionality. Built-in charging ports, cord-management systems, and pull-out tech shelves help modern homes stay organized and connected.
Go Bold
More shoppers are ditching “safe neutrals” in favor of rich colors, bold patterns, textured fabrics, and unique designs. Today’s furniture trends encourage creativity and personal expression — perfectly suited for the variety of interior palettes you can create at The Gallery at Ernest Homes.
