Interior Design Trends of 2024
Discover the top interior design trends that will be popular in 2024.
Brown Renaissance
Next Wave Designer DuVäl predicts that brown will be the color of choice in 2024. This trend can be seen in fabrics, textiles, cabinetry, and casegoods. A survey conducted by the New York Design Center also found that over 90 percent of respondents expect brown to be a popular color in the coming year.
Designer Katie Rosenfeld demonstrates this trend by using a nude pinky tone called Setting Plaster by Farrow & Ball in a bathroom. The trim and ceiling are painted in this color to offset the browns and olives in the wallpaper.
This shift towards brown tones provides a warm and inviting atmosphere in interior spaces.
Sculptural Art
Designer Tara McCauley believes that wall-mounted sculptures add depth and dimension to a space. Mixing artworks in different finishes, textures, and shapes creates a visually interesting display. McCauley also highlights the importance of creating an attractive "Zoom background" for virtual meetings.
In one example, McCauley uses a black and white sculptural piece to bring life to a hardworking corner with inky dark walls. This adds a touch of elegance and creativity to the workspace.
Choosing sculptural art pieces can elevate the overall design and aesthetics of a room.
Dynamic Range Hoods
Designer Hilary Matt predicts that range hood covers will receive more attention in 2024. Bolder designs incorporating distinct textures, such as plaster or wood fluting, will be popular. Pairing a dramatic hood vent with an eye-catching range, like those offered by Wolf, adds interest to the kitchen design.
For example, a deep olive green hood becomes the focal point of a kitchen in this design. Despite its contemporary design, the unit blends seamlessly with the overall industrial look of the kitchen.
Investing in a unique and visually appealing range hood can enhance the overall kitchen design.
A Pause From Technology
Designer Noz Nozawa observes a shift towards 'dumb homes' or homes that prioritize mechanical controls over smart technology. Clients are embracing old-school buttons, switches, and simpler toilet washlets, moving away from harsh blue lights and bright touchscreens.
Creating spaces like bathrooms that provide a break from technology can promote relaxation and self-care. A bathroom with a window that allows natural light to enter sets the tone for a refreshing start to the day.
The trend of embracing 'dumb homes' reflects a desire for more simplicity and grounding in an increasingly technology-dependent world.
