As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the standout pieces and design trends that defined 2024 for Bowery & Bash and take a look at what the future might hold. Our Chicago-based event furniture rental collection has always been a blend of elegance, versatility, and trendsetting pieces—and 2024 was no exception.
2024 Highlights: Neutral Palettes, Gold Accents, and Natural Textures
Last year, we saw incredible success with our more neutral-toned inventory. Green pieces like the Rebecca Sofa added a fresh and calming vibe to events, while gold accents, including the Brass Stool, Madison Shelf, Gold Ivy Etagere, Brass Drink Table, and Marble Drink Table, brought a luxurious, sophisticated edge. Clients also gravitated towards furniture with wood elements, such as the Lakeshore Collection, Noah Table, and Reilly High Top, which added warmth and organic textures to their events.
Neutral palettes, complemented by these earthy and metallic accents, created timeless yet modern settings for weddings and corporate events alike. These pieces provided flexibility to style various themes while maintaining a chic, cohesive look.
What’s Next? Predicted Trends for 2025
Looking ahead, we’re anticipating several trends to shape event décor in 2025:
- Darker Color Choices with Moody Tones
While neutrals and earthy greens will remain popular, 2025 might see a rise in moodier tones like deep plums, chocolate browns, and charcoal grays. These rich hues create an intimate, dramatic atmosphere—perfect for winter weddings or sophisticated evening events. - Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Décor
Sustainability is more than a buzzword; it’s a necessity. Pieces like our Jute Rug and Jute Pouf are likely to become even more popular as clients prioritize natural, renewable materials in their event designs. - Mixing Metals for Added Depth
Gold will remain a staple, but we foresee more clients experimenting with mixed metals—pairing gold with brass, silver, or even black iron elements—to add layers of interest and dimension. - Vintage-Inspired Shapes
Curved lines and retro-inspired silhouettes will continue to dominate. Think about the allure of our Aurora Sofa with its boucle upholstery and graceful curves, which has been a client favorite. - Outdoor Elegance
With outdoor events maintaining their popularity, collections like our Tiki and Lakeshore will remain in high demand. Expect to see these paired with cozy accessories, such as new round pillows, to create inviting al fresco spaces. - Functional Luxe
Furniture that combines utility with elegance will continue to win hearts. Items like the Madison Shelf and Gold Ivy Etagere are not only visually stunning but also practical for styling and display purposes.
