The chrome furniture trend is staging a retro revival for 2025

2025.08.20

Even though summer is in full swing and the UK is facing another heatwave, brands and retailers are getting ready for next season as autumn/winter collections are dropping daily. And there is one look that is ruling all the new high street homeware offering – and that’s the chrome furniture trend.

This retro but super chic home decor trend reflects the overarching general popularity of 1970s and midcentury styles I’ve been seeing all of this year. And it’s no coincidence that I’ve been seeing chrome pieces of furniture in the homes of some of the most stylish people I know and follow.

‘Chrome furniture first shone in the 1920s and 30s with the rise of Art Deco and Bauhaus, before a huge revival in the 1970s – when tubular chrome dining chairs and coffee tables became decorating must-haves,’ says Lucy Mather, interiors expert at Arighi Bianchi. ‘Today’s revival takes the best of those eras but gives it a contemporary spin with a futuristic twist.’
