• Scallops & Curves
  Expect to see scalloped edges and flowing curves on tables, rugs, and upholstery. This style is evolving from the ongoing love for curves, now adding rhythm and movement to spaces.
• Checkerboard Patterns
  Both classic and abstract checkerboard designs are resurging—appearing on flooring, tile work, and textiles for a bold yet timeless effect.
• Skirted Details
  Furniture with skirted bases is returning, adding softness and a hint of nostalgia while fitting seamlessly into both modern and eclectic settings.
• Vintage Mixed with Modern
  Combining vintage pieces (like cane chairs and traditional cabinetry) with streamlined, contemporary silhouettes. Expect classic forms updated for 2025 living.
• Banquettes
  Built-in or mix-and-match banquette seating is on the rise, making kitchens, breakfast nooks, and dining rooms more inviting and communal.
• Mocha Mousse: 2025 Color of the Year
  This rich, neutral brown is prominent—often seen in color-drenched rooms and paired with clay or seafoam tones for grounded, calming interiors.
• Florals
  Botanical prints and floral patterns are having a significant moment. Designers are mixing florals with stripes and checks and varying scales for dynamic visuals.
• Yellows & Ochre
  Sofas and accent pieces in ochre and gold add vibrancy, pairing well with neutral palettes and jewel tones.
• Bouclé & “Doodle” Fabrics
  Tactile fabrics like bouclé and faux shearling are cozy, stylish, and now more durable thanks to performance weaves.
• Caning & Rattan
  Woven cane derived from the rattan plant is featured on chairs, bookcases, and even accessories—celebrated for its natural look and light-filtering properties.
• Clunk Factor
  Look for chunky, robust pieces—whether in table bases, chairs, or decorative accents—that make a bold and tactile impression.
• Nautical & Coastal Elements
  Subtle updates on coastal decor: think oyster and clam shell shapes, rope accents, and marine motifs for an elevated take on nautical vibes.
• Subtle Textures and Tactile Experiences
  Subtle woven textures and small-scale patterns add depth and are easy to mix with bolder prints. Art and decor are embracing tactile experiences like embroidery and fiberwork.
• Organic Modern
  Using natural shapes and materials (like collaged tree-trunk tables and organic shaped mirrors), this style merges nature-inspired aesthetics with contemporary forms.
• Dopamine Decor
  Aka, “joyful decorating”—using bold color, pattern, and personal touches to maximize happiness and individuality in your home.
• Mondo Fabric (Oversized Corduroy Effect)
  Maximalist, plush, channeled pieces are trending—but experts advise to use them sparingly to avoid overwhelming spaces.
• Mix and Match: Don’t feel confined to a single trend; layered, personal, and eclectic spaces are in.
• Trend Prediction: Jersey Fabrics
  Sporty, breathable jersey textiles are emerging, especially in accent furniture and pillows, bringing a casual and sensory appeal.

Perfect timing for the big game in February, this episode of Seated with Furniture Row dives into creating the ultimate modern game day space. Jessa sits down with guest host Brad, a Furniture Row veteran and seasoned game day expert, to talk zoning strategies, immersive tech in today's furniture, and how to balance style with serious comfort when you're hosting 15–40 friends and family.  They cover zoning your home for different types of guests, choosing the right seating mix, and using smart furniture features—like hidden recline, built-in storage, and sound/vibration—to level up the experience without making your room look like a dedicated theater 24/7. Whether you're a die-hard fan glued to every play or a commercial connoisseur waiting for halftime, this episode gives you designer-approved tips to set up spaces that keep everyone happy—including the kids. Learn how modern furniture solves old problems (goodbye, intimidating remotes and cord clutter) and discover which seat really is the best in the house. Quick Tips

• Zone your space into three areas: hardcore game watchers, socializers/commercial fans, and kids—use different rooms or divide one level with modular seating clusters
• Add surfaces where people actually sit: coffee tables, end tables, and a sofa table behind the couch for snacks.​
• Try a U-shape or semi-circle around the TV to improve sightlines and keep the group feeling connected.
• Mount the TV at eye level when seated, and aim for about 1.5 × the TV’s diagonal size as a viewing-distance guideline.
• Choose “forgiving” materials for hosting—performance fabrics help you enjoy the party without stressing over every spill.​
• Use a bar cart or snack station so guests can grab food without blocking the screen.​
• Consider machine-washable rugs for heavy-traffic watch parties (crumbs happen).​
• If you want a more immersive feel, look for seating features that enhance the sound experience without adding visual clutter.​

• Embrace the "Collage": Don't be afraid to mix high and low, old and new. Pair a modern sofa with a vintage-inspired rug or treasured family heirlooms to create a room that tells your unique story.​
• Invest in Versatility: Look for "chameleon" furniture that can adapt to your needs, like a kitchen island on casters that can double as a serving cart or a sectional that can be reconfigured for guests.​
• When in Doubt, Go Green: If you're hesitant to commit to bold colors, try incorporating different shades of green. It acts as a neutral and brings a calming, natural element into any room.​
