2024 is the year of radical change in decor! Are you ready to say goodbye to the outdated furniture that ruins the ambiance of your home? We're going to throw out everything: the sofas that are too dark, the dangerous coffee tables and those massive bookcases that take up all the space. Embrace style, modernity and practicality with ultra-trendy alternatives. Discover our selection of furniture that you absolutely must ban and the pieces from our collection that will revolutionize your interior.
Black leather sofas
Black leather sofas were once the epitome of luxury and modernity. However, in 2024, they have become the dinosaurs of decoration. Too dark, too rigid, they risk making your living room as welcoming as a waiting room. Plus, maintaining a black leather sofa is a bit like trying to keep a black car clean all the time: mission impossible.
Why ban them?
- Looks too dark : Black can absorb light, making your room feel smaller and less bright. If you want a living room that exudes joie de vivre, black leather is a no-no.
- Difficult to maintain : Fingerprints, scratches and splashes are more visible on black leather. You will spend more time cleaning than enjoying your sofa.
- Rigid decoration : Difficult to harmonize with softer and colorful decoration styles. Black leather can give a cold and impersonal feel to your space.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Colorful fabric sofas : Bring warmth and liveliness to your living room with fabric sofas in shades of blue, green or beige. They are welcoming, comfortable and much easier to integrate into a contemporary decor.
- Velvet sofas : Velvet is the flagship material of 2024. It adds a touch of luxury and unparalleled comfort. Choose colors like emerald green or royal blue for a sleek, modern look.
- Modular sofas : For more flexibility and modernity, modular sofas adapt to your space and your needs. They are perfect for evolving salons and lovers of change.
Glass coffee tables
Glass coffee tables were once prized for their light, transparent appearance. But let's be honest, they have become a real interior design nightmare. Fragile, dangerous and demanding in terms of maintenance, they no longer deserve a place in your modern living room. It is time to move on !
Why ban them?
- Fragility : Glass is likely to break easily, posing a potential danger, especially if you have children or pets. A simple shock can turn your table into a pile of dangerous debris.
- Maintenance : Fingerprints, dust and stains are more visible on the glass. You will spend your time cleaning instead of enjoying your space.
- Safety : In addition to fragility, the edges of glass tables can be dangerous. One wrong move and you're guaranteed injury.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Solid wood table : Wood brings warmth, robustness and a natural touch to your living room. Easy to maintain and durable, solid wood tables are a perfect choice for a modern and welcoming interior.
- Metal and marble tables : For a chic and modern look, metal and marble tables are ideal. They are strong, elegant and add a touch of sophistication to your space.
Beds with padded headboards
Beds with padded headboards have long been a symbol of luxury and comfort. However, in 2024, this style is starting to look a little too heavy and formal. It's time to refresh your bedroom with more modern and refined alternatives that will bring lightness and elegance to your rest space.
Why ban them?
- Old-fashioned appearance : Upholstered headboards can give your bedroom an old-fashioned and cluttered look, not compatible with current trends of minimalism and simplicity.
- Difficult to maintain : Dust and allergens can easily accumulate in the creases and buttons of the upholstered headboard, making cleaning a hassle.
- Less versatility : Difficult to change the style of your bedroom without having to change the entire structure of the bed, limiting your creativity in terms of decoration.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Minimalist headboards : Simple and elegant, minimalist headboards bring a contemporary touch to your bedroom without weighing it down. They blend easily with different styles of decoration.
- Natural wood headboards : Natural wood is always trendy. It brings warmth and texture to your bedroom, while being easy to maintain and durable.
Transparent plastic chairs
Clear plastic chairs, also known as "ghost" chairs, have had their heyday. Their minimalist look and ability to blend into any decor has made them a popular choice. However, in 2024, they are often seen as cold and impersonal. It's time to say goodbye to this furniture that is too light to make way for more warm and inviting pieces.
Why ban them?
- Cold and impersonal : Clear plastic chairs can make your space look sterile and unwelcoming.
- Uncomfortable : Hard plastic is not the most comfortable material to sit on for long periods of time.
- Lack of character : They often lack personality and texture, which can make your interior design look bland and lifeless.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Carved wooden chairs : Wooden chairs add warmth, character and texture to your space. They are strong and offer comfortable support.
- Fabric chairs : Chairs with fabric seats bring comfort and color to your interior. Opt for materials like velvet or linen for an elegant and cozy look.
Paper lamps
Paper lamps, with their light and often affordable look, have been popular for bringing a relaxed, zen touch to our interiors. However, in 2024, they are less and less popular due to their fragility and their now too basic style. It's time to upgrade to more durable and sophisticated lighting.
Why ban them?
- Fragility : Paper lamps are extremely delicate and tear easily. They do not hold up well to repeated handling or accidents.
- Maintenance : Paper is difficult to clean and can deteriorate quickly in the presence of moisture or dust.
- Not very durable appearance : They do not last over time and can quickly give a neglected appearance to your decoration.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Designer metal lamps : Metal lamps are robust and bring a chic industrial touch. They are easy to maintain and last over time.
- Glass lamps : For a more sophisticated look, designer glass lamps are ideal. They diffuse a soft and elegant light, transforming any space into a warm and welcoming place.
Melamine desks
Melamine desks have been popular due to their affordability and variety of styles. However, in 2024, they are widely considered outdated and unsightly. Melamine, although it can imitate various materials, does not have the durability or charm of natural materials.
Why ban them?
- Unsightly appearance : Melamine can appear cheap and artificial, lacking the visual richness and texture of natural materials like wood.
- Limited durability : Melamine is prone to scratching and chipping easily, reducing its longevity compared to sturdier materials.
- Environmental impact : Melamine production is not particularly environmentally friendly and melamine furniture is often difficult to recycle.
Modern alternatives from our collection
- Solid Wood Desks : Solid wood is durable, stylish, and offers a natural aesthetic that enriches any workspace. It is sturdy and ages well, adding character over time.
- Metal and wood desks : For a chic industrial look, desks combining metal and wood are perfect. They are solid and bring a contemporary and professional touch to your workspace.
This year is the perfect opportunity to rethink and revitalize your interior space. By eliminating outdated furniture and adopting modern alternatives, you can create a home that reflects both your personal style and current trends.
