In 2024, interior design trends will decisively encourage us to cultivate well-being and comfort at the heart of our spaces. An approach rooted in nature is manifested through earthy colour palettes, curved lines, organic forms, and the adoption of sustainable design. For the more extroverted, maximalist style and flamboyant colour palettes will also be on display, accompanied by decorative elements with metallic and chrome accents.
Earthy tones and quiet luxury
This year, white gives way to a variety of earthy tones, marking a transition towards hues such as beige, greige, taupe, and terracotta. This diverse palette offers a variety of carefully integrated tones to create a warm and comforting atmosphere in our homes. The use of this assortment of neutral colours aligns with the quiet luxury trend, which, as the name suggests, denotes a style that is both luxurious and discreet. Quality is thus the core of our living space, integrating elements with timeless appeal and high-quality craftsmanship. Due to their durability, quality, and a varied range of earthy tones, hardwood floors align wonderfully with these trends.
Vibrant colours and maximalism
In contrast to earthy tones and discreet decor, an opposing trend emerges: the rise of vibrant colours. Avocado green, mustard yellow, eggplant, and, of course, the Pantone colour of the year, Peach Fuzz, will indeed be prominent on Pinterest and Instagram. In addition to these colour palettes, extroverted personalities will be pleased to see the rise of maximalist design, a trend where the keywords are "diversity" and "quantity." This style cherishes eccentricities, mix-and-match decoration, patterned wallpapers, and collections of various objects. It creates decor that is unapologetic, energetic, and rooted in the present, with no constraints on originality and creativity.
Metallic and chrome accents
The trend of metallic accents, particularly chrome, has conquered the world of interior design, bringing a contemporary and sophisticated touch to residential and commercial spaces. Chrome has become a popular choice to add shine and modernity to various pieces. It is easily integrated into furniture and decorative elements such as mirror frames, cabinet handles, chair legs, and lighting fixtures. Chrome adds a modern touch while maintaining a certain neutrality, making it easy to pair with other types of materials.
Natural curves and rounded shapes
This 2023 trend remains firmly grounded in 2024, much to our delight. Curved lines and organic forms continue to infuse comfort and well-being into our interiors. This influence harmoniously unfolds in various aspects of interior decoration: furniture, windows, lighting, accessories, and even architecture. A design characterized by curves gives our home an elegant liveliness, enveloping us in a soft and comforting atmosphere. The integration of these elements into the design of our spaces becomes an essential part of contemporary interior design.
Eco-friendly design
Eco-friendly design is an approach that prioritizes the use of durable, non-polluting, recycled and/or recyclable, and reusable materials. Spaces are designed by choosing each element with the purpose of extending the lifespan of products and preserving our natural resources. This trend, or rather mindset, embodies a commitment to conservation and sustainability, reflecting a responsible vision for future generations. Hardwood floors perfectly illustrate this concept: made from a natural, renewable material, produced through environmentally friendly practices, and offering the possibility of being refinished up to seven times through sanding. They have a significantly longer lifespan compared to most flooring options.
In conclusion, interior design trends for 2024 offer inspiring diversity, ranging from earthy tones to exuberant maximalism. Expressing personality through space planning revolves around aesthetic and sustainable choices, merging creativity and environmental responsibility. By embracing these trends, everyone can create an interior that fully reflects their style while contributing to a sustainable future.
