As we begin looking toward a new year, it’s always exciting to see what the world of interior design has in store for us.
And this year is no exception.
We’re bringing you the inside scoop on the top furniture trends to watch out for in 2024.
So, whether you’re a design enthusiast or just looking to spruce up your space, read on for the latest and greatest in home furnishing trends.
A Nod to Nature
One of the most dominant themes from the show was the continuation of nature-inspired motifs and materials.
From oceanic blues to forest greens, nature’s palette is making a big splash in home interiors.
The Ripple credenza from BDI, for instance, beautifully captures the essence of the ocean with its deep teals and green-blues.
And speaking of blue, it’s undoubtedly the hue of the moment, with Sherwin-Williams even naming a light blue shade as their Color of the Year for 2024!
Green’s Still in the Game
While blue tones are forecasted to dominate our homes in the coming years, green isn’t going anywhere.
The newest shades of green are leaning more toward teal, offering a fresh and vibrant look.
A prime example? The Danza chairs from Precedent Furniture.
And it’s not just about the color; it’s also about the details.
These chairs, for instance, have leather-covered legs, a design detail that was prevalent in many showrooms.
Pastels with a Punch
Pastels have undergone a transformation.
Gone are the days of muted, sweet pastels. This season, they’re vibrant and bold, often paired with contrasting backdrops of black, white, or sandy tones.
The burled wood Brenne desk from Lemieux et Cie by Precedent perfectly embodies this trend, showcasing how pastels can be both powerful and elegant.
Warm Neutrals Take Center Stage
The shift from gray to colorful interiors has been seismic.
However, neutrals are far from out.
Today’s neutrals are warm and inviting, with shades of taupe, caramel, and chocolate taking the lead.
And for those who still love their grays, the new shades lean towards taupe and sage, offering a fresh perspective on a classic.
Patterns and Textures Galore
From retooled toile patterns that offer a modern take on traditional designs to the tactile allure of tweeds, patterns and textures are having a major moment.
Geometric patterns inspired by midcentury modern and Art Deco styles are also making a comeback, with pieces like the Memphis credenza by Currey & Co. showcasing a beautiful blend of natural oak and black Macassar ebony.
Materials that Shine
Metallic finishes, especially gold and brass, are shining bright in the world of furniture.
Whether it’s a subtle brass inlay or a statement piece like the Cosmo credenza from Universal Furniture adorned with pyrite squares, metallics are here to stay.
Stone and Hide: A Match Made in Heaven
Stone, especially colorful marbles and travertine, continues to be a favorite material for tables.
On the other hand, hair-on-hide leather, once associated with rustic decor, is now making waves in contemporary designs.
The Brooks bench from Regina Andrew is a testament to this trend, blending functionality with style.
Looking Ahead to 2024
As we look ahead, it’s clear that 2024 is set to be a year of innovation and creativity in the world of furniture design.
From nature-inspired motifs to bold patterns and textures, there’s something for everyone.
So, which of these trends has caught your eye? Do you see any of them making their way into your home?
Until next time, happy decorating!
