5 Interior Design Trends Set To Be Popular in 2024

If you’re planning to spruce up your home in the new year, perhaps with a view to selling up soon, or you’re just keen to update your interior and bring it up to date, read on for some of the top interior design trends for the coming year…

Dramatic Wallpaper

According to Home & Gardens, a hot wallpaper trend for 2024 is dramatic wallpaper. Creating a sense of drama through the use of bold colours and patterns is a great way to update a living room, bedroom or dining room.

A word of caution for those planning to sell-up though, bold patterns and colours can be divisive, which can lead to a split in opinion of potential buyers. A positive selling point for some might look like a redecorating job for others, so if you are going bold, to play it say, stick to a feature wall rather than using dramatic wallpaper throughout a room.

Minimaluxe

Minimalism and luxury don’t often share the same space, as luxurious interiors often verge on the more maximalist aesthetic. Minimaluxe however is based on the belief that more isn’t more, and that less is better, and that goes for use of colour too, with a more soft and natural colour palette.

When you have less, the things you do have, you may be able to spend more money on. A more minimal aesthetic also makes it easier to show of key pieces that you love, from beautiful lamps to sculptures and vases.

Statement Rugs

According to Living etc. irregularly shaped rugs are going to be big in 2024. Think asymmetric and unusual shapes and turn to the growing number of hand-tufted rugs available from artisan rug makers.

Rugs are such an easy way to update a room and bring a splash of colour and warmth to a space. They also serve a great practical purpose too, helping to protect the flooring or carpet, particularly useful in high-traffic areas of the home.

Playful Stripes

When we think of stripes in the home we often imagine a classic nautical theme with white and navy stripes. This year however, according to The Nord Room, we’re set to see a surge in popularity of playful stripes in bright colours.

Embrace this trend with bold striped wallpaper (vertical or horizonal, depending on what suits the space best), or play it safe by introducing stripes in your soft furnishings. Think striped blankets, cushion covers and even lampshades, or in the bedroom, you could update your bedding a opt for a striped duvet cover and pillow cases.

Geometric Patterns

According to The Spruce, this coming year we’re set to see a big increase in the popularity of geometric patterns.

Geometric prints, patterns and forms can bring a sense of order to a space without making it feel too stuffy and can provide a great backdrop for more whimsical design choices.

From kitchen tiles to bathroom floors, wallpaper to curtains, geometric patterns provides heaps of room for creativity and with so many different patterns, not to mention colours to choose from, with this trend you’ll be spoilt for choice.

As with all trends, the easiest way to embrace them in your home is to update items like rugs, lamps and lampshades, roller blinds, throws, cushions and so on. Doing this provides an inexpensive way to embrace trends, but if you see something you particularly love, by all means go all-in and updated wallpaper, furniture, tiles and flooring – after all, as long as you love it, your authenticity is never out of style!
