The Must-Have Furniture Picks of 2025
The hustle and bustle of December can sweep us up in a whirlwind of holiday plans and last-minute logistics. Time seems to fly as we race toward the end of the year, and before we know it, we’re reflecting on all the memories made since January 1st.
Chances are, most of those memorable moments took place in your home. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a cozy family movie night, or holiday hosting, home is where the best memories are made.
As we wrap up 2024 and look ahead to 2025, let’s take a look at the furniture that has truly transformed our living spaces this past year. These crowd-pleasers balance functionality, comfort, style, and more to dominate their top spots in the hearts of Hawaii homeowners.
Living Room
Living Room is the most popular and competitive category. It’s easy to understand why since you can do almost anything to it. Creativity knows no bounds in a living room. Our top furniture picks prioritized versatility above all else.
The Larce Performance Fabric Sectional’s versatile design and durable upholstery is not only comfortable but will ensure the test of time, children, and pets. Discover this Ashley Exclusive at a store near you.
There are a couple aspects that our winners, HomeWorld’s Vaughn Estate Sofa and Ashley Hawaii’s Larce Performance Fabric Sectional, share in common. At first glance, their neutral tones blend into any pre-existing color palettes. Most importantly, they’re both layout customizable, allowing you to condense or expand them into the perfect centerpiece for whatever sized living room you own. Add a chaise lounge. Remove a sitting section. Flip one corner with another. The possibilities are endless.
The Vaughn Estate Sofa offers a customizable design experience, allowing you to choose from a variety of fabric, color, and layout options to perfectly fit your style and existing home decor.
Not to mention, you can further customize the Vaughn Estate Sofa’s fabric texture and color. Mix and match for the look that suits your needs best. If you’re worried about cleaning up messes, the Larce Sectional might be more your speed. With its Next-Gen Nuvella performance fabric, spills are a non-issue. You can throw the covers into a washing machine or hand clean with mild soap and water. Whether you prioritize customizable style options or low-maintenance durability, you can’t go wrong with either choice—they’re both sure to enhance your space.
Dining Room
Perhaps the dining room is the most sentimental of all rooms because this year’s bestsellers offered a sense of retro nostalgia. C. S. Wo & Sons’ Walnut Grove Dining Collection and Ashley Hawaii’s Lyncott Dining Collection are gorgeous mid-century modern dining sets at differing price points.
The Walnut Grove Dining Collection offers a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication, featuring a beautifully crafted solid walnut wood top with a warm, natural finish.
The Walnut Grove Dining Collection is a masterclass in beautiful modern design. Its traditional craftsmanship and use of American black walnut hardwood pushes the limits of the mid-century mod look. The collection made by Stickley perfectly retains a vintage influence yet feels cohesive in any modern space. Whereas, the Lyncott Dining Collection offers a similar style and more pops-of-color for an affordable price.
A modern twist on retro design, the Lyncott Dining Collection brings a touch of playful simplicity to your dining space, while embracing the clean lines and architectural influence of mid-century style. Chairs and counter stools available in four color options.
Bedroom
Are you surprised that the most popular bed in Hawaii is the Ocean Bed from HomeWorld? Its headboard evokes the pattern of waves while the platform remains angular and modern. Everyone’s personal highlight is the Sengon Tekik wood that is on full display, embracing its natural elements. No one bed is the same since the wood color and grain will differ from piece to piece depending on the trees it was sourced from. Very beachy, very nature-y—perfect for a Hawaii bedroom and sure to last a lifetime.
Crafted from durable Sengon Tekik hardwood, the Ocean Bed creates a calming retreat, offering both elegance and comfort in any bedroom.
Speaking of Hawaii, the warm weather year-round is a favorite perk for many—but it can be a challenge for most sleepers. That’s why SlumberWorld’s Tempur-LuxeBreeze 2.0 Mattress Collection, particularly at a firm comfort level, is the top mattress of 2024. There’s nothing worse than sweating through the night while trying to get a good night’s rest. Thanks to the LuxeBreeze’s innovative sleep technology, it keeps you 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding temperature. Additionally, these mattresses offer impressive pressure relief, helping your body recover after a long day. The LuxeBreeze collection not only keeps you at an optimal sleep temperature, but also relieves tension, ensuring a restful, uninterrupted night of sleep.

If foam mattresses aren’t your cup of tea, let’s talk innerspring for a second. If you prefer the bouncy supportiveness of an innerspring mattress, then SlumberWorld’s Beautyrest Black Series One is for you. It features Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil Technology for the ultimate motion isolation, pressure relief, and temperature management. All of which equates to restful uninterrupted sleep, even if your partner tosses and turns, full-body relaxation to promote recovery, and a consistently cool sleeping surface—like the refreshing feel of the cool side of a pillow. And we all know, nothing beats that!
Innerspring lovers, the Beautyrest Black Series One mattresses have got your back. Literally! Its innovation coil technology brings pressure relief and relaxation to a whole new level.
Outdoor
There’s no better place than Hawaii to enjoy year-round outdoor living. In this category, consumers prioritize durability above all else.
Sunny mornings and cool nights are made all the more comfortable with the Seton Creek Outdoor Set’s Nuvella+ cushion coverings.
The Seton Creek Outdoor Collection from Ashley Hawaii features a performance fabric similar to that of the Larce Sectional mentioned earlier. However, this collection is designed to be even stronger and more capable of withstanding the harsh elements of the outdoors. The Nuvella+ fabric covering the cushions offers enhanced UV resistance and is removable for easy cleaning. Additionally, the wicker is crafted from all-weather resin, and the frame is made of stainless steel. The Seton Creek Outdoor Collection is a great investment for any outdoor space, as it outperforms other retailers’ outdoor furniture in both longevity and affordability.
