As we inch further into 2024, the world of interior design is poised for exciting transformations. Get ready to embark on a journey where aesthetics meet functionality and your living space becomes a canvas for the trends that will define 2024.
In 2024, home decor will be looking to replicate the feelings of nature and being at one with the elements. Earthy tones with greens and browns will aim to connect you to nature and wellbeing, offering a sense of calm and tranquillity found in the great outdoors. For Graham & Brown, 2024’s colour of the year is “viridis”, described as a muted geren that creates a ‘warm and welcoming space’. For serenity and a calming atmosphere for yourself and your guests, ‘viridis’ is where to start.
If you are looking to stand out more, Pantone have declared their colour of the year as ‘Peach Fuzz’. Bold but comfortable, the orangish pink represents optimism and a return to simplicity. Better yet, the common ground of sunshine hues such as apricots, muted oranges and yellows can bring about a great sense of light and nature while being a stand out visual in your home.
Sustainability and being more environmentally conscious continues to rise and this will continue into 2024. With more designers opting for sustainable materials, finding furniture that has been sourced in an environmentally friendly way is easier than ever.
Biophilic design, incorporating natural elements into interiors, is a key aspect of this. From indoor plants to reclaimed wood, the focus is on connecting with nature while minimising the carbon footprint. Additionally, upcycling and repurposing old items into new, functional decor pieces contribute to the circular economy and reduce waste.
Characterised by bold designs, statement lighting is more than just a way to illuminate your home - in 2024 you can expect your lighting fixtures to be the focal point of a room. Unique lamp designs will add drama and sophistication to the atmosphere and certainly be a conversation starter for your guests.
“Statement” does not always mean big and garish. Making a statement with minimalism, for example, ensures you can emphasise quality over quantity. Statement furnishings like this still act as focal points, elevating your space without added clutter.
Consider a hand-carved wooden coffee table or a woven tapestry, telling a tale of dedication and tradition. Artisanal decor transcends the ordinary with each piece unique to each other, providing a tactile and visual richness that other items often lack.
What sets these pieces apart is the meticulous attention to detail and the authenticity of the human touch. Whether that is a bespoke ceramic vase or a hand-painted tile, these elements breathe life into your home and become more than decorations but rather an expression of your identity and personality.
2024 is a year for self-expression. Experiment, mix and match with furnishings and colours; these home decor trends for 2024 will lay an impressive foundation going forward and transform your home into an environment that speaks volumes about you.
