Shake things up this new year with a brand-new look for your home. If you want to give your space some fresh, stylish razzle-dazzle, here are some must-know interior design trends to watch out for in 2024. Ika nga, “New year, new me!” 

Color Is In

While beige and minimalism are timeless, we’ve noticed a surge of color in the home design scene. With playful hues and accents taking the space of typical grays, we expect bold, bongga, and creative color choices to start making their way into our living spaces. 

"I see the appeal of gray and white kitchens and endless beige bouclé tapering off in favor of vibrance, saturation, and increasingly edgy color combinations."—Leah Alexander in House Beautiful.

As 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon, the Chinese zodiac projects green as a lucky color, likely to dominate home design in the new year. Aside from being the lucky color, Barzilay Freund, in an article by Architectural Digest, also mentions that green may become more prevalent in 2024 as it creates a soothing ambiance. “We saw during the pandemic that elements of nature that people found soothing were increasingly incorporated into people’s interior schemes.”

Also, ICYMI, Pantone’s Color of the Year has just been announced! “Peach Fuzz,” a gentle, warm, yet elegant pinky hue, is another color to keep on your radar when picking a new look for your home.

A Reintroduction to Brown

Another standout color poised to take the stage this year is brown. Whether in fabrics, furniture, or textiles, different shades of brown in various textures seem to rise in popularity. “There’s a color we’re using a lot in the studio that we’re calling ‘hot brown,’” Oliver Furth mentions on Elle Decor. “But browns are definitely happening—like really warm browns that might be a play on a 1970s palette, and those caramel colors, along with coral and persimmon.” 

Everything Eclectic

We’ve all seen the uptick of groovy, maximalist, Gen-Z decor in 2023. We’re talking colorful everything: wavy mirrors, eye-catching mushroom lamps — the list goes on. In 2024, we’ll see a similar eclectic pattern, putting character and personality at the forefront of home decor. 

Though we don’t expect the bagets, Gen-Z aesthetic to take over exactly, we think that more and more homes will be filled with personalized themes that tell a story, like vintage items from thrift shopping, family heirlooms, art from local artists, self-made pottery, murals, and the like — things that show off “you.”

We also expect artisanal products to rise for the new year, such as bespoke and handmade pieces that celebrate the human touch and the talents of those around us, giving a more homely contrast to mass-produced furniture.

All the Texture

Glossy, picture-perfect walls may have had their moment in previous years, but 2024 is all about the texture. From limewash and hand-applied paint to sculptural art to wood, stone, or tile patterns, we see more lively, multi-dimensional styles shaking things up. 

With the rise of period pieces on television, we’re also expecting more of those who want to integrate more old-timey, ornate accents (think 19th-century Victorian or Parisian style) into their home — a hint of maximalism for a unique living space. 

Cozy Luxury

With the “quiet luxury” aesthetic all over our feeds, we predict the same trend to spill into interior design. Large, galante displays of abundance will take the backseat to make room for a cozier feel. Jen Samson states on House Beautiful, "Clients will lean more towards comfortable, lived-in furniture rather than smooth, clean, and sterile looks."

Along with the comfy atmosphere, Andi Morse mentioned in Southern Living that we can expect a shift from wide-open spaces to snug layouts. “[I think we’ll be] seeing less open floor plans and moving into smaller and more intimate arrangements.”

Curves, Curves, Curves

Crisp, straight lines have always been staples in home design, but curved furniture is where it’s at now. Hop on the trend this 2024 by adding softer shapes that compliment the straight lines in your home, such as curved mirrors, sofas, and chairs, to create a more creative and less rigid atmosphere. Plus, it looks so sosi. 

Sustainable Thinking

In 2024, sustainability is on everyone’s minds — dapat lang! Now, as it has grown more than a trend, sustainable living has become a bigger goal for many. As such, we’re predicting more mindfulness regarding responsible sourcing, innovative materials, and reducing negative environmental impact from designers and consumers alike.
