In our fast-paced daily lives, the search for serenity within our homes has grown more essential. Many of us seek to craft spaces that reflect our unique style and personality.
As we’re getting settled into 2024, let’s take a look at the best of current design trends.
Art Deco Resurgence
The Art Deco trend remains relevant going into 2024; a style characterised by geometric patterns, rich jewel tones, and luxurious material palettes. Without treading too far into sophistication and opulence, art deco design echoes a Bauhaus simplicity, often crafted in more natural materials such as wood.
This trend finds us in the aftermath of 2020’s maximalism; a phase which embraced colour, patterns and their overlap.
2024’s art deco trend finds balance, placing quiet moments amongst these louder design features. In the overhang from the pandemic, DIY and home-crafts have remained relevant and revered within many online communities. Hobbies have developed, grown and settled into their own styles and strengths. The ‘maximalism’ of 2024 represents a sense of balance that much of 2020’s extravagance lacked.
Australian Coastal Hamptons
In an evolution of the classic Hamptons style, this trend embraces the Australian coastal lifestyle, with whites taking centre stage.
Incorporating natural materials like wood, rattan, bamboo, and linen creates a warm, organic feel that complements the coastal theme.
Indoor plants, native florals and sweeping windows blend boundaries, creating serene spaces and embracing airflow.
Scandinavian designs blend seamlessly with these sorts of homes, introducing modern shapes and metal amongst the otherwise classical and wooden pieces typical to these styles. Scandi homewares can bring fresh peppered pops of colour throughout, and when paired with Australian natives imbue a contemporary balance to shared spaces.
Mid-Century Revival
Clean lines, organic materials, and vibrant colours define the mid-century trend, blending minimalism with a retro aesthetic.
You’ll fall deep into the world of secondhand furniture and restorations with this aesthetic; it encourages a space to appreciate those older relics of design, and interplay with the aesthetics of various time periods.
Biophilic Design
With an increased focus on sustainability and wellness, biophilic design is set to soar in popularity this year. This approach incorporates natural elements like wood, stone, and plants into interiors, creating a harmonious and calming environment.
Philosophies behind biophilic design boast how having plants in the home and a good source of natural light can increase productivity and overall mental wellbeing. This design approach is one for the green-thumb, and can be a great way to spruce up an otherwise-uninspired rental, or older home.
