10 Design Trends You Should Try in 2024

Looking to take your home to the next level or just want something new? If 2024 is the year you’re planning to renovate or refresh your home, it’s a good idea to start planning now. From the latest trends to aesthetics we predict will be popular long-term—here are ten design trends you should consider trying next year, according to interior designers. 

Go Green

Interior designer Kate Dawson has always loved color, especially green. In 2024, she sees this color finally getting its due. “I feel like the interior design world has been pushing the color green for about four or five years and it is finally getting the notice it deserves. I’m not talking about the 1990s hunter green, I’m talking about emerald green, olive green, and in some settings even Kelly green.”

In a satin finish, it looks especially great on cabinetry and bookshelves.”

Maximalism

Maximalism made a big splash in 2023, and Cortney Bishop, principal and owner of Cortney Bishop Design, thinks it will only grow more popular in the coming year. “We’re witnessing a delightful resurgence of maximalism, where every inch of space is seen as an opportunity for artistic expression. In the new year, we encourage people to fearlessly mix colors and textures in a way that makes spaces feel alive and exuberant.”

Vintage Vibes 

According to Dianne O’Connor, founder and CEO of Weston Table, what’s old is new again. Yes, vintage is back and it should be celebrated. Vintage pieces aren’t just a great way to incorporate unique pieces into your decor scheme, but they can also be a smart value. “Buying mid-century modern furniture with their classic 1950s simple design aesthetic and reupholstering it with luxurious, unexpected splashes of color and texture creates a kitten and string playful moment that is…
