5 Interior Design Trends in 2024 to Make the Most of Your Home

Let's look at five interior design trends for 2024 that are influencing interior design. We discuss interior design and ways to make the most of our homes to create happiness, health, and well-being. Today, we're talking about five trends that have been on the rise and are forecasted to increase in popularity next year.

1. A balanced approach

Trends on both ends of the minimalist to maximalist spectrum are starting to move to the middle. Cool colors and uber minimalism were all the rage in years past, but that's all been changing over the last few years.

The upswing of interest in warm minimalism indicates that people crave a softer, warmer, and more sustainable approach to minimalism.

At the other end of the spectrum, maximalism shows signs of mellowing, with a more restrained approach that still has many layers of interest for those who crave more stimulating environments.

It's all about degree, which makes the trend toward balance so doable and ultimately an expression of personal style.

2. Relaxed sophistication

This same desire for balance has led to styles that feature clean lines and uncluttered spaces, spaces, but use warmer colors and natural textures and materials.

Warm, earthy, and nature-inspired spaces are continuing to trend for 2024, and this is great news because nature never goes out of style.

Organic modern has seen a rise in popularity, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down. Organic modern is a great mixture of organic shapes and natural textures and brings in some luxe elements for a sophisticated and relaxed style.

One trend that surprised us this year is quiet luxury, also known as stealth wealth.

It's more of a lifestyle movement than a trend, emphasizing understated elegance, timeless appeal, and quality materials.

It's a great aesthetic for those who like to mix modern and classic in a relaxed yet sophisticated way.

3. Biophilic design

Working hand-in-hand with the organic modern aesthetic, biophilic design is the underlying philosophy influencing many of the warm and natural styles we've seen over the last few years. It's a safe bet that styles based on biophilia will have lasting power for their serene looks and calming effects.

But no matter the specific style or aesthetic, some ways to enhance the nature experience in our homes are by letting in fresh air and natural light, bringing in natural elements like water and fire, adding greenery, and spending time with our pets.

We can also experience nature indirectly through materials and decor that represent nature, like natural materials, colors, and shapes.

4. Timelessness

Combining finishes, furniture, and features of different styles and eras can help create enduring interiors that balance old and new, giving the feeling of an evolved space. We're seeing a resurgence in some classic patterns, details, and materials that are being used freshly.

Herringbone is an ancient pattern dating back to the Roman Empire, where it was used as a stable and durable interlocking paving system for roadways.

This graphic pattern is now experiencing a renaissance, creating movement and adding texture in a classic yet contemporary way.

The square shape and varying shades of white are super popular because of their versatility in coordinating with modern, neutral, and natural interiors.

But they come in a variety of shapes, and for those who love more color, there are some really deep and bold choices that create a lot of visual impact.

Blue Nova

Benjamin Moore decided to go with Blue Nova for their 2024 color of the year. It's a deep blue-violet shade that's great for creating visual excitement, especially when accented with orange tones.
