In 2023, trends like quiet luxury and cottagecore took center stage; we also saw the revival of historical designs like feng shui. In 2024, interior decor experts say there will be a significant shift towards more personalized designs. What should you expect? We’ll be seeing more mixed metals and earthy colors in this new year. Here are five interior design trends to refresh your home with in 2024.
A smoother outdoor-to-indoor transition
There is a reason we love the dark blues and greens in the Pacific Northwest homes and the desert tones in Palm Springs homes. Wanting to connect with nature and earth, it’s because we feel a sense of the outdoors even when we’re indoors.
This unique decor style is one of the trends that will shine the most in 2024. The key is simply bringing the outdoors in; you could incorporate the colors of your surroundings into the rooms in your house. This makes your interior feel at home in its environment.
Redefining purple
Purple paint is one way to make a unique statement in your home. It’s not the most traditional color for walls or decor in a home, but 2024 is shifting from the lighter shades that were popular in 2023 to more vibrant and bold ones.
Instead of mauve and lilac, we’ll see deeper shades of purple, like amethyst and plum. These deeper shades give some kind of depth to your home.
Mixed metals
Mixed metals weren’t much of an interior decoration trend in 2023, but they seem to be under the limelight in 2024. Especially in bathrooms, incorporating mixed metals harmoniously combines different themes.
This trend is versatile because you can easily mix and match different parts. Combining brass, nickel, or bronze creates a uniquely harmonious finish. Powder-coated metals in Pantone colors will also become prevalent.
The return of chartreuse
This trend is one of the biggest comebacks we’ll be seeing everywhere in 2024. The flavorful green hue fits every part of the house, from the bedroom to the runways. However, it can be quite tricky to incorporate this color into your interior.
The key is to avoid blinding guests with colors. Decor experts recommend moving away from going full neon to avoid a tacky design. You could place your chartreuse furniture against a navy blue wall to make the green color stand out.
Getting closer to Mother Nature
Have earthy shades ever gone out of style? Of course not. But in 2024, these color schemes will reign supreme. People are now leaning towards warmer Earth tones for designing their home interiors.
You could add some warm shades, like soft greens, to take things up a notch. If you’re a lover of darker shades of brown, you could design your space with chocolate curtains, wallpapers, or furniture.
