MOVING TIPS

Interior Design Top Trends for 2024

6. Quiet Luxury Say goodbye to ostentatious extravagance and hello to understated luxury. Invest in timeless pieces that serve as the foundation of your decor, opting for quality over quantity. This shift towards longevity benefits both your wallet and the environment. 7. Maximalism Whether it’s proudly displaying your most cherished collections or thoughtfully layering wallpapers, fabrics, textures, and art, maximalism is here to stay. “More is more” right now, especially in the patterns that are trending. Florals, chinoiserie, chintz…these timeless patterns have come back in a big way! 8. Using every square inch of your house Don’t need an office? Turn it into a moody reading room or library. Don’t use your hall closet? Turn it into a cool bar space where guests can grab a drink upon entering your house. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box for what each room in your house can and should function as.

1. Mixing the old and the new Embrace the style of blending antiques with more modern pieces. Think pairing your grandmother’s antique sideboard with sleek modern chairs or pairing a traditional, timeless chest with vibrant abstract art. This look, often referred to as “fresh traditional” or “new traditional,” adds character and timelessness to your home. 2. Painting the walls and trim the same color Move over stark white trim that “pops.” The trend now is to use the same paint color for walls and trim but with varying finishes. Play with textures by opting for flat or eggshell on walls, semi-gloss on trim and doors, and flat on ceilings for a cohesive yet dynamic look. 3. Color Resurgence Bid farewell to the monotony of gray and white as bold colors make a striking comeback. From fashion runways to interiors, vibrant hues like red and raspberry are stealing the spotlight in 2024, injecting personality and energy into living spaces. 4. Statement Kitchens While white kitchens remain timeless, more homeowners are opting for bold cabinet colors like blues and greens paired with contrasting countertops like marble or quartz. It’s all about creating a captivating focal point in the heart of the home. 5. Metal Medley Mix and match metals fearlessly to add depth and visual interest. Combining polished nickel faucets with unlacquered brass fixtures creates a sophisticated, layered aesthetic that’s both chic and current. We anticipate that polished nickel and silvers will be front and center for the next few years.
