Change up the way you use colours, textures, and accessories to add a little more personality to your home.
Is your home starting to look a little… boring? Let the new year bring in new spaces. We’re here to save you with the latest interior design trends for 2024. It’s all about bringing in good vibes through art, decor, or colour. Whether you’re a new homeowner or looking to gussy up your home for the new year, we’ve got the top tips for you.
Interior design trends for 2024
1. Bring in the warmth of Peach Fuzz
In case you haven’t heard, Pantone’s announced its colour of the year for 2024 and it is adorable. Peach Fuzz is warm and velvety, embracing a rich spirit that enriches the heart, mind, and body. In a world where loneliness is at an all-time high, the choice of colour was made to echo our yearning for closeness and connection. Peach Fuzz is elegant and youthful, which makes it a playful addition to your home. A decorative pillow, blanket, or rug with this peachy shade will add a fresh pop of colour that your home needs.
2. Luxury, but make it lowkey
Channelling the energy of the old money aesthetic, many homeowners are turning away from loud branding in their interior design choices. It’s all about exuding quiet luxury through quality materials, craftsmanship, and details. That means muted colour palettes, textures, and custom-made furnishings that fit seamlessly into each nook and cranny, so you’ll have a sophisticated space while still retaining that comfort of home. You can achieve this with thoughtfully done carpentry, tiling, and cooler paint colours. Don’t forget to furnish it with accessories like ceramics and glassware.
3. Never ever use the big light
Have you ever heard of the rule that we never use the big light? Well, now you have and it’s one of our favourite interior design trends for 2024. This concept was made popular across TikTok and it seems many people resonate with the sentiment. Overhead lighting is often harsh and overly bright, a one-size-fits-all solution to illuminating your space. It can feel clinical and lacking in personality. Now, we aren’t saying take all the big lights out of your house; you still need to see after all. But to add some pizzazz to your home, consider ambient lighting options like lamps, candles, and LED strips. They’re simple and accessible additions that’ll make all the difference.
4. Minimalist but for your wallet
Oh, GST, how we loathe you. Unfortunately, we’ll have to deal with the 9% GST situation head-on now that we’re in 2024. So it comes as no surprise that with big projects like home renovations, we’re looking to scrimp and save any way we can. It doesn’t help that inflation is taking furniture prices by storm. The solution? Streamlining design choices and keeping it simple. Multi-functional home decor is all the rage now thanks to its cost-effectiveness. Remember to focus on all your necessary refurbishments first before moving on to any additional touches.
5. The uber fancy bath experience
There’s nothing like having an at-home spa conveniently in your very own bathroom. We seek solace in our homes, and one place you might find comfort in is your bathroom. A warm shower melts all your stress away, and taking the time to go through your beauty products is the best kind of self-care. It’s also the perfect place to get away from all your tech, even if it’s just for an hour. Order up some candles, bath salts, and even a bathtub table for when you want to sit back with a book.
6. Now, that’s a statement
We don’t know about you, but having a maximalist home decorated to our heart’s content is a dream. However, it’s hard to achieve when you’re on a tight budget. What’s the alternative? Getting a big, bold statement piece. Something that makes people go “wow” when they step in. It adds to the personality of a home and makes the space both beautiful and memorable. Statement pieces can range from art and sculptures to even unique lights or bathroom elements.
7. Cosy conversation pits
2024 will be all about getting in touch with people and creating human connections. And what better way to do that than to create a cosy atmosphere for dinner parties and gatherings? The original conversation pits were actually sunken platforms with built-in sofa seating. As you can guess from the name, they’re made to facilitate conversations within groups. But nowadays, we don’t see this often because it’d be expensive to construct. Never fear though, because there are modern alternatives that mimic the purpose of these little nooks. The easiest way is to make sure your couch is surrounded by other seating options like a chaise, ottoman, or armchair. Anything plush and comfy is key.
So, which interior design trend will you implement in 2024?
