Dining rooms really are the heart of the home. They’re one of the most utilised areas in the house and the only place where you can properly facilitate big family gatherings and mealtimes. So, with that, and ever-changing trends in mind, it’s important that you keep your dining space updated. Interior designers and furniture experts (like us) are already looking ahead to the New Year and anticipating what’s going to be big. From trending colours, designs, and patterns, EZ Living Furniture has started preparing for what 2024 will bring and started to introduce it slowly into stores and online. Here, we are listing the features to include in your home for the New Year and the furnishings that perfectly represent them.
Fabric Upholstery
This might seem like a very basic point to make, but for the last number of years, leather furniture has dominated our homes. People tend to prefer leather dining chairs because of their wipeable capabilities. If you have small children, spillages are likely to happen, especially during mealtimes so leather is often the preferred choice. Still, fabric has an appeal that’s hard to compete with and an elegance that’s difficult to match. Some fabrics are more maintainable than you’d think too, do your research and bring a beautiful fabric into your dining room for 2024.
Bench Seating
If you are someone who has a big family or regularly hosts large gatherings in your home, you’ll be delighted to hear about this next trend….bench seating. Instead of individual dining chairs, dining benches are set to appear in every trending dining room in 2024. Quite frankly, this is welcome news because benches have several benefits that many individuals won’t be aware of. Firstly, they are great for accommodating more people at a dining table. Not only this but backless styles are space-savers and can be pushed back under the table when not in use. You could also invest in a dining bench that has a back if you expect your diners to stay sitting long after they have finished their meals.
Organic Shapes
Organic shapes have consistently featured in interior design in the last year or two. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that they will continue to be popular next year too. Biophilic design is all about embracing natural and organic materials and shapes. Focus on rounded edges, curved backs, and unusual configurations when choosing your dining table and chairs for next year.

Shiny Surfaces
Something unexpected for this list is shiny surfaces. Sophisticated materials are being prioritised for surfaces and finishes. This trend doesn’t apply to dining chairs, but for dining tables, you might want to focus on this as an alternative to wood. High-gloss finishes or marble dining tables like the one pictured above perfectly encapsulate this trend of using finishes as opulent embellishments in the dining space.
Adaptability
Adaptability is one of the key trending features for 2024. This means adjustable heights, expandable surfaces, and built-in storage to cater to the evolving needs of a growing family, sporadic gatherings, or even remote workers. Next year, it’s all about effortlessly accommodating the fluidity of modern life.
Multiple Colours
If you’ve been following along with our other trend blogs, you probably already know what’s to come. Various colours are popular for next year and these of course can be incorporated into the dining room too. What you need to understand is that pastels are going to be huge. Light blue, natural and earthy brown, off-white and blush pink are ones to include in your interiors wherever possible in 2024. Forest green and sage green are sticking around too and will remain popular in the New Year.
