Interior design trends for 2024
Gentle boldness
1. Gentle boldness
If I had to pick a main theme for pretty much all of the upcoming interior design trends, it would have to be gentle boldness.
Bold elements with soft counterparts
We're going to be seeing a lot of really bold elements, but they're going to be paired, for the most part, with softer counterparts.
Edgy sculptural furniture with softer curved pieces
So some ways in which we might see this is through pairing edgy sculptural furniture with softer curved pieces.
Hard angles mixed with softness
When you blend hard angles with softness, it helps to create an interesting and dynamic space.
Interior design with contrast
Interior design is all about contrast and I think this trend of gentle boldness really embodies that.
Vintage patterns
2. Vintage patterns
Many of the patterns we'll be seeing in 2024 are going to be striking, but we'll continue to see a lot of vintage patterns as well.
Retro and nostalgic design elements
There's definitely been an overall resurgence of interest in retro and nostalgic design elements in recent years, so any patterns that are reminiscent of the past will be welcomed.
Patterned wallpaper
Wallpaper has been on the rise for the past few years and, of course, we know that wallpaper is a great way to add pattern to a space.
Historical pattern wallpaper in new modern colorways
Many wallpaper companies are reimagining their historical patterns in new modern colorways.
Cloud mural wallpaper
If you find wallpaper boring and you want to level up your pattern game, then consider jumping on the mural trend.
Vintage-style landscape mural on wallpaper
You can choose from endless patterns, but lately, vintage-style landscape murals seem to be all the rage.
Vintage-style tapestry
If a mural is intimidating, then another upcoming trend that introduces pattern in a really cool way is through vintage-style tapestries.
Unexpected color palette in interior design
3. Daring color
Let's talk about the color interior design trends for 2024 next. In 2024, color is taking center stage with rich and unexpected color palettes stealing the spotlight in homes.
Bold but muted colors in interior design
Many designers are using bold but muted colors.
Bold accent colors
The vibe is all about having a focal point that really shines placed within a backdrop that recedes to act more like a supporting role.
Colored ceiling as a trend
Ceilings are also being coated in bold hues to add drama and visual interest to a room.
Kitchen cabinets in daring colors
Kitchen cabinets are even being painted in exciting colors that bring personality and energy to the space.
Colored carpets and area rugs
Colored carpets and area rugs are also being used to anchor and define spaces, adding depth and personality.
Colorful statement stones
Clients with deeper pockets are adding boldness to their spaces through the use of colorful statement stones.
Dopamine decor
4. Dopamine decor
In 2024, dopamine decor will become increasingly significant as it represents people's pursuit of happiness through their living spaces, making it one of the most popular living room interior design trends for 2024.
Spaces that foster positivity and joy
This trend reflects our innate desire for spaces that foster positivity and joy.
Color drenching
5. Color drenching
Color drenching is basically when you paint your entire room all in one color, including your trim, walls, and ceiling as well as any doors.
Monochromatic interior design
I think going monochromatic with tone-on-tone color can create an incredibly sophisticated and edited look.
Playfulness in interior design
6. Playfulness
Also trending in 2024 is the element of playfulness. You can see this in the ongoing trend of using whimsical details, like scalloped edges.
Colorful plumbing fixtures
Some designers are even getting creative by incorporating colorful plumbing fixtures.
Contrasting colored millwork
They're also using contrasting colored millwork to create visual contrast and highlight architectural details.
Coziness in interior design
7. Cozy obsession
The craving for cozy in the world of interiors continues too.
Cozy living room design
People are really starting to place an emphasis on feeling good in the home.
Dark paint can equal cozy
Finally, the mainstream is starting to warm up to the idea that dark paint can equal cozy.
Dark, moody interiors
So darker, moody interiors will continue to be very popular.
Cozy fabrics, such as velvet
We're also continuing to see a lot of fabrics that communicate coziness, such as velvet, speckled, two-tone fabrics, and colored boucle.
Exposed stone in a living space
8. Texture
People are really wanting to bring depth and tactile qualities into their living spaces through the use of exposed brick and stone.
Example of plaster paint, limewash paint, and Roman clay
The use of plaster paint, limewash paint, and Roman clay are also being used.
Rough, textured ceramics with irregular surfaces
Rough ceramics with their textured and irregular surfaces are another favorite way to bring interest and texture into a space.
Wood surfaces add texture and warmth to interiors
Wood surfaces add texture and warmth to interiors as well.
Tactile, warm, and inviting environment
Hardwood floors, exposed ceiling beams, and wooden furniture create a tactile, warm, and inviting environment.
1970s influence on interior design
9. 1970s influence
The influence of the 1970s on the design world has been a defining trend throughout all of the 2020s so far, and it's not going to go anywhere for a while.
1970s furniture
1970s furniture continues to play a crucial role in this resurgence.
Arches in interior design
10. Architectural features
The ongoing interest in arches reflects the desire for architectural features that we're experiencing in the design world.
Molding on walls and cabinets
In a similar vein, the use of molding to add character to homes has also seen a massive surge in popularity.
Generative AI in interior design
11. Generative AI
Another trend that I think will revolutionize the design world as we know it is generative AI. An AI-generated image is created by an algorithm, so a designer can input specific parameters, like keywords, and the AI will generate variations of images based on those keywords or guidelines.
Exploring ideas using generative AI
One of the main benefits of generative AI is that it allows designers to rapidly explore tons of different ideas without having to manually create each concept.
Ice bath disguised as a garbage bin
12. Rich people trends
The latest trend seems to be spending $6,000 on an ice bath disguised as a garbage bin.
Hiding TV with clever design
Rich people will also spend large amounts of money to hide the fact that they watch TV.
Giant range hood
We're also seeing gigantic range hoods that look like they could shelter a small village.
Wide gas ranges
And you've got to love those five-foot wide gas ranges that get installed into kitchens that literally never get used.
