Luxury Defined surveyed the experts, the architects, the designers, and even the influencers on glossy websites and magazines to glean the top trends emerging for interior design in 2024.
Change is afoot, according to Houzz, whose design experts predict a shift away from cool, pure-color hues and toward the warmer tints and tones of cream, beige, and, in particular, shades of brown, “to provide a calmer, more welcoming environment.” Last year, the online marketplace and interior design site 1stDibs predicted brown would make a bold statement in 2024.
The past is ever present, especially in 2024’s trend to fuse design elements from different time periods. Yes, indeed, the Seventies are back—if we’re carefully pairing iconic decor from the 1870s with 20th-century counterparts. These blended period revivals, according to Elle Decor, bring the “appeal of handmade furnishings” into the 21st century.
Which takes us to another hot trend: dark wood paneled walls to create warmth and intimacy. Vogue quotes designer Robin Standefer: ”It is a typology that instantly takes you from traditional to modern…”
In stark contrast to the evocation of nature, 2024 designs will highlight the top tier of the period table of elements: the metals. Their many dazzling forms—glistening chrome and silver accents, the sheen of ductile aluminum, the rectilinear strength of structural iron and steel. … Is this a nod to Art Deco? Bauhaus? Retrofuturism?
As Architectural Digest so archly observes: “That’s So Metal.”
Luxury Defined thus modestly proffers a portfolio of homes that showcase five of 2024’s hottest trends in interior design.
