Interior design is ever changing and the new year often ushers in a new wave of trends. While most people want their home to be unique and reflect their personality and style, some also want it to stay trendy and up to date. As we start 2024, let’s predict what crazes will rule your home this year.
Aesthetics That Are Making a Comeback
As the saying goes: everything comes back around. Now more than ever, we’re seeing traditional materials and styles sneaking their way into homes. Even in modern builds, you will find these classic elements. This is where the ‘timeless’ design style comes from - a balance of classic elements and modern crazes. This will continue to be popular through 2024. Alongside this, we have seen Farmhouse Chic and Japanese Wabi Sabi elements in a lot of homes. All of these are characterized with neutral tones, rustic/natural elements and simplicity.
Smart Homes Will Become Even Smarter
Whether you have a new build or are modernizing an older home, smart technology can be found in almost every space. It’s in lighting with light bulbs and switches, appliances with smart plugs and app control and through security systems. Now more than ever, technology has embedded itself in our lives and will continue to do so. As products are developed and the need for assistance grows, this trend of smart homes is sure to persist for many years to come.
Statement Pieces Are Shifting
Statement pieces have been around for a while, but their purpose and placement have shifted. While they are great for infusing your personality into the space, they can also act as a conversation piece and ground any design and aesthetic. This will continue in 2024. From couches to tables to tiles to large pieces of art and anything in between. If it’s an item in your home, it can be made into a statement piece.
Textures
Textures became more eclectic in 2023, expanding themselves from beyond small items. This year, texture will be anywhere it can be. Fluted furniture will continue to bring harmony to a room and bouclé will be the fabric that everyone is after. While popcorn ceilings aren’t popular, 2024 will bring in new, stylish ways to bring texture to your ceilings, creating a room full of character.
Colours, Chromes and New Basics
The past few years have not been the brightest for society and that can be seen in their respective interior design trends. 2024 is a new dawn and with it comes new colours. Bright is back, so prepare to rejuvenate your space with plenty of colourful hues. This rebirth is also reflected in basic colours as brown becomes the new popular shade. This is also being seen in the fashion sphere as more people gravitate to browns in their wardrobe. Warm neutrals will help make your space feel welcoming and cozy. As for metal and hardware, it’s all chrome. It’s durable, corrosion resistant and stunning to the eyes.
