• A Show of Restraint. Remove anything that feels unnecessary to ensure each item makes a statement and impacts the general aesthetic.
• Warmer Hues. Painting rooms, including trim, ceilings, and walls, in earthy tones like rich browns, mossy greens, raisin, amber and sunny yellows is in for 2024.
• Classic Details. Pleated upholstery details on furniture is a twist on traditional style that looks crisp and fresh.
• Layered Furnishings. Eclectic found pieces and beautiful antiques paired next to a modern object create interest in a room.
• Durable materials. There is a trend toward investing in furnishings and finishes that will stand the test of time, children, and pets. Performance fabrics and rugs, as well as indestructible flooring and countertops, will become even more popular this year.
• Outside Influence. Windows are getting bigger with the view and natural light becoming a focal point of the room, creating a comfortable and cozy environment.
