As we step into 2024, the world of interior design is buzzing with fresh ideas and transformative trends. From the comfort of our homes to the expression of our personal style, this year is all about making bold statements and embracing change. We’ve rounded up the top interior design trends of 2024, where every corner of your home is set to tell a story of innovation, comfort, and style.
While all white kitchens and neutral interiors reigned supreme for years, earthy tones are now in Vogue! An embrace of warmer, more earthy tones fits perfectly into the idea of homes becoming more of a cosy, personalised sanctuary than an immaculate, minimalist, perfect space. Think browns, rusts and soft cream colours and different textures to create cosy, tactile environments.
We’re about to see art with a bit of a twist this year! Instead of prints that can sometimes seem a little too two dimensional, 2024 will see art with different finishes, textures, and shapes. This trend is bound to add more depth and dimension to any space.
The days of white or grey kitchens are long gone, making way for bold and vibrant colours. Homeowners are now embracing a spectrum of lively hues, transforming their spaces into a canvas of personal expression. This trend isn't just about aesthetics; it reflects a broader shift towards creative and individual spaces.
This year, we’ll also see a rise in more personalised and bespoke living spaces as people want to emphasise unique characteristic and histories. Think antiques, family heirlooms, one-of-a-kind pieces or items purchased from travels that tell a story about who you are.
The curve continues! Curved furniture, particularly pieces like sofas and chairs have gained popularity in recent years and 2024 is no exception. Curves are making their way into various furniture pieces and incorporating these distinctive shapes can add contrast and depth.
One of the biggest fashion trends all over TikTok in 2023, the idea of ‘quiet luxury’ is now not only transforming our wardrobes, but our homes too! Focusing more on style than brand names, quiet luxury puts an emphasis on mindful purchasing and high quality pieces that will last a lifetime.
The timeless charm of tiled brick is making a major comeback in 2024. This trend brings a touch of rustic elegance to any space, blending well with both modern and traditional decor. Whether it's for an accent wall or a cosy fireplace surround, tiled bricks offer a unique texture and a sense of warmth.
Vintage lighting is shining bright this year, offering a perfect blend of both nostalgia and contemporary design. From Art Deco chandeliers to mid-century modern floor lamps, these pieces are not just sources of light but also serve as artistic statements, adding unique personality to a room and serving as a focal point that can tie together various design elements.
What goes around comes around, and the 80s and 90s are back with the return of glass bricks! These translucent building blocks are perfect for creating partitions that allow natural light to flow through while maintaining privacy. They are being used in innovative ways, from shower walls to kitchen backsplashes, adding a modern twist to interiors.
Silver, chrome, steel, and aluminum are suddenly everywhere in 2024! Striking the perfect balance between traditional and modern styles, these metallic metals are anticipated to dominate this year’s trends. Powerful, timeless and versatile, we love the look of injecting a little silver through a timeless vase like this one from Country Road or this one from Georg Jensen.
An essential in any bathroom, grout is often underutilised to add another design element, but we may see the end of that this year! Interior design experts have predicted a rise in unique tile and grout pairings, particularly more vibrant and bold tiles. Instead of white grout, think something fun like blue and a seafoam tile like the one below.
There's an elegant and playful aspect to tone-on-tone decor, where layering shades of the same colour within a room really stands out. In these room settings, the emphasis is on texture, silhouette, and material. This method highlights the furniture in any room and allows it to be the focal point.
Get ready to dine in style in 2024! This year is bringing an exciting twist to dining areas with the introduction of funky and interesting dining chairs. It's all about chairs that make a statement, whether through unusual shapes, bold colours, or unique materials.
It's clear that this year is all about expressing individuality, embracing change, and redefining the concept of home. Whether through the warm embrace of earthy tones, the bold statement of vibrant colours, or the sophisticated touch of quiet luxury, each trend offers a unique opportunity to infuse personality into our living spaces.
