Wicker furniture, terrazzo tile, wooden d\u00e9cor and vintage kitchenware will all make their way into homes in 2043. But if you\u2019re investing in only one thing in your home next year, it should be color.<\/p>\n\n

Color doesn\u2019t just transform spaces; it also transforms lives. Some designers predict tranquility will reign supreme with warm whites, earth tones and pastels taking center stage. Other designers are embracing fun and energetic color palettes that just might push you out of your color comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pantone Color Institute\u2019s Color of the Year (COTY) is Digital Lavender<\/a>. The light purple hue is described as \u201ccalm and optimistic\u201d and is often associated with peace and serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behr Paint\u2019s 2023 COTY is Blank Canvas, a hopeful and welcoming warm white meant to inspire tranquility and renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Moore selected Raspberry Blush, \u201ca confident and charismatic shade of red-orange\u201d that energizes a room and commands attention, the brand reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulux by PPG\u2019s COTY is Vining Ivy, a blend of blue and green. The bold and expressive hue reflects an \u201coptimistic mood as we emerge ready for the next normal,\u201d the brand explains.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever mood you want to create in your home through color, it will serve as the perfect backdrop to 2024\u2019s home d\u00e9cor trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are eight home d\u00e9cor ideas you\u2019re likely to see a lot more of; and expert advice for making them work in your own space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Flexible Furnishings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A hallmark of furniture design in 2024 will be customization, according to Cini. \u201cWhen more people are using a space, having flexible furniture is key,\u201d she says. That includes everything from coffee tables that raise up and convert to a worktable to dining tables that expand from accommodating four to having eight for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, she says, \u201cThe old tried and true Murphy\u2019s bed<\/a> is back and better than ever before, allowing you to have a full bookcase on the front, a dining table, and with a simple turn and fold down (not having to remove anything on your bookshelves), it converts to a full bed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this furniture design trend maximizes your design options, it also means you need to be careful about planning your room layouts to accommodate multiple possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Earth Tones <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

White walls and neutrals with occasional pops of bright color dominated home d\u00e9cor for years. But now, Benjamin Stenson, from The Norsemen<\/a>, says there\u2019s a return to rich earth tones. \u201cI\u2019m seeing a lot of this lately in dining rooms, living rooms, and kitchens,\u201d Stenson says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDark earth tones look best in large open spaces or areas with high ceilings. You want to make sure that there\u2019s enough room for the color to breathe and appear as intended.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Benjamin Stenson <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, new interior design trends will use these shades as the main color in one room and pull an accent color from one or two pieces of furniture. \u201cRoom layout is extremely important even when you are matching colors,\u201d Stenson says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners can pair dark earth tones with deep, rich shades of blue and green, or complement them by adding bright, colorful area rugs and textiles. According to Stenson, \u201cDark earth tones are the perfect way to showcase your personality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Eco-friendly Designs and Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular interior design trends in the last several years has been a push for all-natural and eco-friendly materials, says Marco Bizzley, from HouseGrail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Repurposed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are choosing materials that have been recycled, reused, or made from reclaimed wood,\u201d he says. \u201cEco-friendly designs will become more and more popular as people become educated about the environmental impact that their choices have.\u201d Plus, eco-friendly materials are often less likely to provoke allergies or health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Natural Stone Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In line with the trend of people seeking natural influences in their home d\u00e9cor, materials like stone will be prevalent in interior design in 2024, predicts interior designer Sherry Hope-Kennedy, from Studio SHK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kitchen<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom bathrooms awash in moody marble to kitchen backsplashes and countertops brimming in variegated swirls, natural stone will make a statement in 2024,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is both art form and functional, and works well in modern, contemporary, and traditional design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Organic Silhouettes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hard edges, sharp angles, and geometric patterns are among the decorating trends that are phased out in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bedroom<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead, soft, flowing shapes and designs take center stage, says Vanessa Deleon, senior designer at Vanessa Deleon Associates<\/a>. \u201cCreating a Zen-like environment that encourages mental clarity and productivity with just a few changes can make a big difference,\u201d she says, particularly in these anxiety-ridden times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. \u201980s D\u00e9cor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mid-century modern style has been one of the prevalent trends in interior design for a while now, but more adventurous homeowners may gravitate toward bolder designs in the coming year, says Stacy Lewis, interior designer at EternityModern<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, interior design trends focused on bold colors and playful shapes and patterns, but this would be a slightly toned-down version of that, she says. The contrast is \u201cengaging to the eye\u201d and a refreshing change from the home d\u00e9cor trends we\u2019ve seen for the past several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Textured Layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As more people look to create cozy and comforting spaces in their homes, a technique previously only used by design pros is gaining attention. Andra DelMonico, lead interior designer for Trendey<\/a> predicts that the layering technique will be one of the top interior design trends for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis practice was once a carefully crafted art and well-kept interior design secret,\u201d she says. \u201cNow, everyone is looking for complementary textures to create depth and visual interest in a room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Textured<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This technique can be accomplished by hanging textured art on the walls like macram\u00e9, adding tactile fabrics in the form of throw pillows and blankets, and spreading a rug on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Wellness At Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurating your space to suit all your needs in functionality and aesthetic has never been more crucial than it is today,\u201d says Karen Gutierrez, an interior designer from Mackenzie Collier Interiors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne thing I have noticed is starting to pop up more is that homeowners are wanting a space where the interior design focuses on supporting wellness for mind, body, and spirit\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wellness<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One simple way to carry out this interior design trend is to incorporate greenery. In addition to helping purify the air, \u201cplants can provide a calming aesthetic,\u201d Gutierrez says. Positioning them for maximum impact while still allowing them to meet their sun and other needs is important, and an open, simple layout can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with high-functioning design, people want their home d\u00e9cor to look like the inspirational photos they scroll through on social media. We hope that these eight interior design trends for 2024, given to you by experts in the field will inspire you to update your home d\u00e9cor in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
