Design Trends in 2024
Curves
Curvy furniture, a trend that has reemerged in recent years, is expected to peak in 2024. Whether it's sectional sofas, dining tables, or coffee tables, the use of curvy lines creates a soft and calming energy, fostering a welcoming space. Interior designer John Smith attributes this trend to our growing affinity for nature-inspired designs, noting that the organic shapes found in curvy furniture mirror the beauty of the natural world.
Art Gallery Inspired Spaces
Interior designer and HGTV's Reno My Rental host Carmeon Hamilton envisions a rise in ultra-contemporary spaces. Expect vibrant hues, sleek backdrops, and surprising touches, such as quirky cocktail tables and vivid neon light fixtures, to take center stage.
Mixed Metals
Mixed metals will be a hit in bathrooms and beyond in 2024. There are opportunities to use a mixed metal light fixture to harmoniously combine brass and black or bronze or brass and nickel.
More Mass Market Designer Collaborations
2023 was a successful year for big-name interior designers and stylists partnering with more approachable home brands. These collaborations have allowed top-tier designers and stylists to make their personal approach to design more accessible to a larger audience.
Deep Shades of Purple
Purple's popularity has slowly been ramping up, but it'll take the design world by storm in 2024, says Interior designer John Smith.
Reducing Waste
There has been a return to simplicity by sourcing products from local artists, which coincides with consumers' desire to reduce their carbon footprint. "People are more aware of the value of existing structures and objects and the waste created by discarding them," says architect Kelly Jimenez.
Earthy Color Palettes
Mother Nature's color schemes are always in style, but even more so now. Earth tones will take the top this year.
Spa-Like Bathrooms
Creating a bathroom oasis will be a top priority for both new constructions and renovations, according to multiple designers. "Enhanced bathrooms that mimic the amenities of a spa are going to be on the rise, making a big splash in 2024," Ginger Curtis, founder and CEO of Urbanology Designs, says.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Looking for a seamless outdoor to indoor transition? Mimicking an exterior palette on the interior of a space is a timeless way to make a room feel at home in its surrounding environment.
Bold Moves
In Mark Devon Wegman's words: 2024 is going to be all about bold, dramatic moves. As the founder and design director of Devon Grace Interiors, she thinks people are tired of playing it safe by sticking with neutrals and soft textures.
