5 ANTICIPATED INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT THIS YEAR
Welcome to your favorite fortune teller. Grab a seat, give us your palms, and let’s begin… In this gloriously witty and smart article, we will do our best to predict the future. We’ve consulted some designer trade show notes, some inspiring ideas from all over the web, and last but not least, client requests. So, take all that and turn it into a Diophantine equation, add one more unknown and the square root from Pi, and don’t forget to take into consideration Fermat’s Theorem. Got it?
All jokes aside, predicting trends takes a lil bit of clairvoyance and a lil bit of science, as well as some educated input from a variety of renowned designers. Even with all of that information, the colorful world of interior design manages to surprise us. Like, who could EVER predict the revival of neon acrylics, or the ungodly “invention” of foam furniture? Noone. It just happened and all we could do was shake our heads in disgust. However, that won’t stop us from giving this little game of predicting trends our best shot.
GREEN FURNITURE
The last couple of years were all about bringing nature indoors and going for sustainable choices, and in 2024 we will keep that up, with another nod to nature — green furniture. This particular trend doesn’t mean you have to throw out your brand-new gray sofa and that yellow cushioned chair you love so much. It simply means you should add to it. Think of a single chartreuse wing chair or a seafoam green chaise lounge. A single green piece will do the trick.
ECLECTIC WITH IDENTITY
This is basically another way of saying maximalism. Your very own, very pretty, very “whatever you want” mess. Your decor should be plentiful and carry with it your character and stories. Don’t be shy. Take your souvenirs from trips abroad, antiques, old diplomas, and black and white photos, add a little colorful twist and you’ve got yourself a winner. By a twist we mean a lime green frame for that photo of your grandma when she was young, a fuschia placemat under that antique figurine you picked up in Greece, etc. Perfect 2024 decor is personal and full of color.
FLUTED THIS AND THAT
Fluted elements are usually associated with classical architecture, and as such they are rarely mentioned in the context of current trends. This year we will witness the revival of fluted details everywhere, from walls to small decor. Interiors will gain additional charm with the distinctive texture and visual interest so characteristical for fluted designs. You don’t have to go all out, as this trend is very flexible in nature, just add some fluted decor to your space, and you won’t be sorry.
STATEMENT TILES
This one goes especially for bathrooms, but kitchens are right there too. Statement tiles will be used to break the monotony of the space. This one is expected to take the spotlight in 2024 simply because we’ve seen the trend of larger and spacier minimalist kitchens and bathrooms in previous years. It’s been a while and now it is time to shake things up by using some accent tiles. Opt for some vibrant shades or interesting textures, or go far unique mosaic tile design. The possibilities are endless with this trend.
EXPOSED STRUCTURES
This trend mainly revolves around inner staircases and indoor columns and jambs. Instead of covering everything up, leave it exposed and let it breathe. If you are about to change your open shelves go for steel and wood combined sleeves, if you need a bigger space take down your drapes and show off your window frames… The more of the interior you expose, the better it will look. 2024 is not the time to be shy. Spread your wings and strut like the champ you are.
These were some of our favorite choices for what’s coming this year. We hope we gave you some ideas and maybe made you love your space a little more. Don’t forget that trends come and go, and the only important person you need to impress is yourself. Make sure your space is the place of growth and happiness, the rest is not that important. *wink wink
