Woodgrain Millwork: A Return to Authenticity

Homeowners are increasingly drawn to the authenticity of original wood millwork, prompting a boom in demand for paint stripping services. Additionally, new builds are opting for rich woods like walnut, maple, and mahogany, bringing a touch of natural warmth and timeless elegance to modern interiors.
Brass Accents: Timeless Sophistication
Paul Kropp from Bakes & Kropp foresees the continued rise of brass accents in 2024. This versatile material exudes classic and timeless appeal, seamlessly fitting into both traditional and modern design environments. Its ability to create visual interest and contrast, allowing other key design elements to shine, makes brass a popular choice for those seeking a touch of sophistication in their homes.
Understated Opulence: Effortless Elegance
Shea McGee of Studio McGee introduces the concept of understated opulence, where touches of luxury seamlessly blend with a relaxed ease. This trend emphasizes the integration of opulent elements without compromising the overall clean and effortless feel of a space. From character-driven edge profiles to detail-oriented plumbing fixtures, this trend brings a touch of fanciness to everyday living.
Saturated Colors: Energetic Interiors
Patrick Dragonette of Dragonette Ltd predicts a shift from neutrals to bold and saturated colors in 2024. Energized hues, like vibrant orange and cobalt blue, will take center stage, transforming interiors and infusing spaces with a renewed sense of vibrancy and energy. The move towards color promises to be a key design element for the year ahead.
Quiet Luxury: The Intersection of Innovation and Timeless Elegance
Adam Hunter introduces the concept of "Quiet Luxury" as the hot trend in interior design for 2024. This trend sees the merging of innovation and timeless elegance, resulting in spaces that inspire and elevate everyday living. Expect interiors that feature sustainable materials, discreetly integrated smart technology, and a revival of classic design elements that evoke nostalgia while embracing the modern era.
Wallpaper in Unexpected Places: Fun and Surprises
Linda Hayslett of LH.Designs brings forth the resurgence of wallpaper but with a twist – its use in unexpected places. Closets, often overlooked, get a glow-up with wallpapers in spaces like coat closets, linen closets, and even small bars. Every corner of the home is envisioned to feel special, even those areas not seen every day.
Mixed Metals: Playful Elegance
Lisa Adams from LA Closet Design challenges the conventional wisdom of sticking to one hardware finish throughout the home. In 2024, mixing metals is in vogue, allowing homeowners to layer different finishes just like they might layer jewelry. This approach provides an avenue for creating playful, modern, or masculine spaces, setting the tone for a more diverse and personalized design narrative.
The interior design trends of 2024 promise a canvas of creativity and innovation. Whether you're drawn to the authenticity of woodgrain millwork, the timeless appeal of brass accents, the effortless elegance of understated opulence, the energetic infusion of saturated colors, the quiet luxury of innovative design, the surprising use of wallpaper, or the playful embrace of mixed metals, these trends offer endless possibilities for transforming your living space. So, whether you're contemplating a full makeover or a simple upgrade like a change in hardware, paint, or furniture, let these trends guide you in crafting a closet that reflects your style, personality, and the spirit of the times.
