What makes a house feel like home is your personal touch, your personality embodied. Some have absolutely stunning homes and some could use some guidance on how best to decorate their homes. We all want to have pretty homes, so let’s leave it to the experts to guide us on how to decorate our homes best. We’ve put together a guide on the 2024 interior design trends to help you really showcase your home.
Quiet Luxury
Sophistication. Elegance. Poise. Timeless. Chic. Those are all words that are associated with ‘quiet luxury’. Quiet luxury is a lifestyle that blends minimalism with luxury, without an outspoken display of wealth, for an effortless chic look. It’s all about subtly. You’ll find it in fashion alongside interior design. Quiet luxury can be portrayed in muted hues, quality fabrics, and a less-is-more approach to everything. Investing in classics and minimalizing your pieces is your way to go.
Latte Decorating
Some colours are a classic and will always make a comeback, like brown for example. The ‘latte makeup’ trend of 2023, for example, was huge on social media for people of all ages. This year all shades of brown are dominating the interior design scene. If you think about it, you really can’t go wrong with neutral shades. Adding a muted brown rug, for instance, or a caramel table lamp is going to let your furniture do all the talking.
Vintage Lighting
Remember your grandma’s house? Remember how different the lighting she might have used looked? Back in the day, floral prints, porcelain, and hand-blown glass were found in every home. All over the world, you would find lively lighting that adds a different colour to homes. This year is all about accepting vintage designs. Look for a hand-painted porcelain lamp or adding a touch of antiqued bronze for your wall lighting.
Stripes
Stripes are making a comeback in 2024 and we’re all about it! People usually associate stripes with black and white, but it doesn’t have to be that way. You have all the colours on the spectrum to really make this trend your own. Whether it’s an accent wall or a loveseat, you’ll love it more striped.
Glass Bricks
In the olden days, people used glass bricks in their showers in all the colours in the world. If you’ve noticed a trend, 2024 is all about comebacks and this is no exception. Glass bricks are ready to take over your bathroom. You can pick and choose the design on the glass, and build a shower wall with it for a unique look.
Butter Yellow
2024 is bringing warmth back, this time with ‘butter yellow’. Yellow is a very loud, very outspoken colour and people are usually too scared to add it to their homes. You have to be very careful with your choice of shades and undertones for the colour to do its magic. This year, ‘butter yellow’ is livening up our homes. A shade that goes with pretty much everything and won’t limit you on where to place it.
Marble Furniture and Accessories
Some things never go out of style, marble being one of them. It’s an all-time classic when it comes to materials used around the house. Marble could last over 100 years, meaning it will literally last you a lifetime. Adding marble pieces around your house will give you an elegant look with very minimal effort. You could add a marble-topped accent table or just a marble tray.
Dark Wood Wall Panels
Wood can elevate your space, adding a touch of class incorporated with earthy tones. This year is all about dark wood, specifically dark wood wall panels. Adding a dark wood wall to your home could bring warmth and depth to any room. There are so many wood designs and types of wood that we could talk about forever. This year, though, bring out the dark wood.
Mixing Textures
The art of mixing textures is always a good look, 2024 is no exception. Balance is key, though. Knowing which textures work together, which textures will elevate your interior design. But don’t be scared to experiment. Try different combinations you don’t think you’ll like, maybe you’ll be surprised.
Silver Accents
Gold was always the colour of choice when it comes to accents. In 2024, silver is having its moment. Add a silver wall accent or a silver trinket. It’s all about mixing undertones, silver in a warm painted room looks magical. It will add an old-timey touch of glamour to your home.
Unique Floor Tiles
We’ve talked about walls and all else, let’s talk about floors. Unique floor tiles were huge in the 70s and in 2024 they’re making their comeback. An explosion of colours. A testimony of your uniqueness. There are so many colours and designs to choose from for your bathroom and kitchen, the world is your oyster.
Unique-Shaped Mirrors
For a while now, the mirror of choice was standing full-length mirrors. In 2024, the mirrors of choice are odd-shaped and unique. Adding character to your home with a little touch. The shapes are endless and you could add them to any room.
Dual Tones
Using 2 different tones around your room is perfect for shining the light on different pieces around the room. It’s best to use a dark and a light tone, though. Using 2 light colours or tones won’t have the same effect. You can choose your sofa in one colour and your chairs in another.
Curved Furniture
Curved sofas or irregular shaped dining tables are key elements to this year’s interior design trends. Gone are the traditional sofas. Make a statement with a curved sofa in the colour of your choice. Even with dining tables, this year is all about curves. The list goes on. Go for curves to liven up your home.
Big Artwork
Big, bold and beautiful artwork are all the talk this year. Bring out your oversized artwork. The bigger, the better. 2024 is all about expressive statements in interior design. Now’s your chance to bring out the big guns.
Rattan
Typically used in outdoor furniture, rattan is changing the scene in 2024 with its invasion of interior design. Rattan is very inviting, very bohemian, but at the same time, very durable. Adding rattan pieces around your home will change the story your home is telling.
There you have it. Those were the 2024 interior design trends to incorporate into your home. Every piece of furniture you add to your home is your personality embodied. This year is all about bringing out character, expressing yourself. Pick and choose the trend that works best for you, that defines you.
