FURNITURE I HOME I INTERIORS
As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time to revitalise our living spaces with the latest trends in home design. 2024 promises to be a year where innovation, sustainability, and comfort take centre stage. Let’s explore the top home trends that will redefine our living spaces and create homes that are both stylish and functional.
Colours which will trend :
Pantone has declared peach fuzz as the colour of the year which ties in to the ongoing trend of earthy tones – in the pastel range. Greys, blues, light greens, hues of peach and rust along with solid browns and vivid greens will continue to dominate the home space.
Comfortable Luxury :
Trends or fads are fleeting but investment in furniture can last a lifetime. This sentiment will reflect in furniture choices in the coming year namely dark woods – from chocolatey browns to dense wooden hues, a greater affinity to warmer wooden finishes will be witnessed. Luxury also means dominance of plush fabrics, oversized furniture and cosy textures
Maximalist Magic :
While minimalism has had its moment, 2023 sees the rise of maximalism. Embrace vibrant colours, bold patterns, and an abundance of textures. Don’t be afraid to mix and match, creating a visually rich and expressive environment that exudes personality and charm. Homes are becoming an extension of one’s personality so statement pieces, eclectic choices and bold colours amongst versatile pieces will be visible especially in terms of fabric choices.
Multifunctional Mastery:
The rise in India’s middle class directly conflicts with the land mass available – with houses becoming more expensive and smaller, at least in urban cities there’s a real need for multi-purpose furniture. Beyond the utility, it’s also the design and lifetime value of each purchase which hold maximum stock in buyers’ minds. People will truly embrace modular solutions, adaptable pieces that transform as per their needs and enhancing functionality while maximising every square foot of their homes
Vintage Revival:
Almost everything being classified as a trend in today’s time has its roots from yesteryear’s influence. Mid-century modern continues to dominate furniture styles but with a modern twist. Dark woods, earthy tones such as rust, greens, browns, terracotta are huge influences from the 70s. Velvets, rattan, and art deco elements are also examples of inspiration from the past. And lastly, gold and brass are an ode to the past which isn’t going away for a long time.
Biophilic Bliss and Organic Shapes:
Bringing the outdoors inside is a trend that’s been gaining momentum. Biophilic design focuses on connecting people with nature, emphasising natural light, indoor plants, and organic materials. Integrate greenery into your home, use earthy colour palettes, and create spaces that promote well-being and tranquillity. Additionally, we’re moving away from sharp straight lines towards more organic shapes. Softer, curved silhouettes are here to stay and will extend across all subcategories of furniture but more so in plush seating options.
Artisanal Appeal:
Handcrafted and artisanal pieces are gaining popularity as homeowners seek unique, one-of-a-kind items that tell a story. Incorporate handmade ceramics, woven textiles, and artisanal furniture into your decor to add character and authenticity to your living spaces.
Conclusion:
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of home design, 2024 offers a plethora of exciting trends to experiment with. Whether you lean towards sustainable choices, embrace softer tones, or opt for a maximalist approach, the key is to create a space that feels uniquely yours. So, let the trends inspire you, and embark on a journey to transform your home into a haven of style and functionality in the coming year.
