2024 Design Trends
I have been reading and seeing what designers are saying are going to be the 2024 design trends. Here a few take aways I got from them all.
"Everything old is new again" rings true as 2024 interior design embraces both vintage elements and fashion world staples. Designer Timothy Corrigan predicts the on-screen luxury of "Succession" infiltrating real homes. Think investment pieces in lush textures - an Hermès ethos over flashy bling.The worlds of interior design and fashion are more connected than ever in 2024. As top designers tell Vogue, au courant clients want "quiet luxury" - timeless, investment pieces and textures over loud statements.
Neutral palettes aren't going anywhere. But the dominating taupes of yore make way for nuanced coffee and latte tones, taking notes from the runways. Designer Joy Moyler sees red as a new neutral after its 2023 fashion domination. These richer hues enliven through layered textural fabrics.
Personal Touches Take Precedence
Minimalism loses its grip as people seek personality. One-of-a-kind antique lighting sets a collected mood. Handcrafted and custom-built storage displays cherished dishware collections. The unique and bespoke replace mass manufacturing.
As Jeremiah Brent relays, the most timeless interiors stem from personalized spaces versus catering to fleeting Instagram trends. Designers cite dark wood paneling, glass bricks, marble accents, and handwoven textiles as updated approaches to traditional elements. Designers predict lacquered brown walls, velvet drapes, and heavy textured sofas in coffee and latte hues. Meanwhile, soft buttery yellows bring light and dimension. The key is layering textures within a tonal palette.
Other popular 2024 trends include displaying vintage lighting and china collections. Mid-century glass bricks are even making a comeback! The overall vibe is collected pieces that feel curated and storied.
The Out List
So what’s out in 2024? Anything mass-produced that doesn't stand the test of time. Designers specifically call out cheap fast furniture and textiles like fake fur and ubiquitous ivory boucle. They also unanimously veto "stage set" rooms designed for social media over real life.
The forecast shows fashion lending a subtle hand to interiors through sumptuous textures and sophisticated neutrals. As quality craftsmanship replaces flimsy trends, the signature look is curated, storied rooms that evolve with their owners.
