Modern Rustic Decor Continues to Shine

Shea McGee, co-founder of McGee & Co., recently shared her design trend predictions for the new year on Instagram. One trend she expects to continue is modern rustic decor. This style pairs organic, natural materials with modern finishes, creating a balanced and visually appealing look.

In kitchens, for example, wood is often combined with sleek marble countertops. The contrast between the two materials adds depth and interest to the space. This combination of rustic and modern elements gives a timeless and cozy feel to any room.

Bold Colors Take Center Stage

As a color trend for 2024, Shea predicts that bold colors will be a standout. While neutral and muted tones have dominated interior design in recent years, it's time to embrace vibrant and eye-catching shades.

Adding pops of bold colors to your home decor can instantly uplift the space and bring personality to it. Whether it's through accent furniture, artwork, or statement walls, don't shy away from experimenting with bold color choices in the new year.

Playful Tile Trends Continue to Rise

Tiles are a fantastic way to add interest and style to bathrooms and kitchens. In 2023, there was a rise in unexpected and playful tile trends, and Shea predicts that this trend will carry on in 2024.

Designers are getting creative with tiles by pairing two different tones together, turning them in different directions, and even adding stripes. It's no longer just about using subway tiles; it's about taking classic tiles and reimagining them in unique and interesting ways.
