2024 In & Outs- Interior Design Edition

Kelsey Easton January 1, 2024

Hey there, stylish souls and interior aficionados! As we stride into 2024, it's time to revamp our living spaces with the latest trends and bid farewell to outdated decor. Whether you're an avid trendsetter or you are looking to spruce up your home before listing it for sale, allow me to guide you through what's IN and what is OUT in 2024.
 

Out with the Old, in with the Bold

Minimalism, we adore you, but it's time to make room for the maximalists! The all-white trend is losing its appeal in 2024. It's seen as sterile and lacking personality. This year say hello to bold patterns, vibrant hues, and statement pieces that demand attention. Think "dopamine decor" that triggers happiness and delight.
 

Green is the New Black

In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, there's a growing appreciation for reconnecting with nature. Bring the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements like wood, stone, organic shapes, and textures into your space. Say yes to plants! Not only do they add a pop of color and life to any space, but they also purify the air and promote a sense of well-being. Whether you're a seasoned plant momma or a novice green thumb, incorporating botanical beauties into your decor is a surefire way to stay on trend in 2024.
 

Quiet Luxury

Lean into sensual and moody spaces with a metallic shine. Looking to revamp your kitchen this year? Opt for a midnight blue or Windsor green color for your cabinets. If you're not quite ready to commit to a bold color, look to accessories and furniture pieces in the same rich shades to add depth. We'll also see spaces reflecting rich browns that reflect the quiet luxury trend. Functional storage is also highly desired in the modern kitchen. From hidden spice pull-out drawers to appliance garages in butler's pantries, hiding things away in cabinets is OUT in 2024. Adventure out to The Container Store and get creative simplifying your kitchen storage.
 

Vintage Vibes

Everything old is new again in 2024 where vintage-inspired decor takes center stage with a modern twist. Embrace the nostalgia with retro furniture, mid-century accents, and wallpaper to add depth and character to your space. But listen- don't get too crazy now. Pair your eclectic finds with contemporary elements to create a curated look that's both timeless and on-trend. Mix and match different eras, textures, and styles to tell a story that's uniquely yours.
 

The Rise of Curves

Sharp lines and rigid structures are making way for softer, curvier designs. From sinuous sofas to rounded coffee tables, curved elements inject a sense of playfulness and fluidity into spaces. This trend not only brings a touch of glamour but also encourages a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
 
Until next time! Happy decorating!
