Changes in interior design trends are to be expected. Lately it seems change is occurring at lightning speed. In response, people are looking to slow life down by creating nurturing homes with warm, neutral colors, natural materials, and a style that will last. In this article, you will find ideas for home design and remodeling trends for 2024.
Wood Cabinets, Flooring and Details
While always classic, wood cabinets and other details tend to ebb and flow in popularity. Right now the material is booming. There is a lot of interest in natural and stained wood cabinetry lately — walnut, quarter sawn oak, and rift sawn oak. Also, designers are using wood accents in painted kitchens. It’s a nice change from the endless white-painted kitchens.
Statement-Making Island Countertops
Islands have long been considered the hub of the kitchen. Lately, homeowners and design and remodeling pros are turning the feature into a focal point by incorporating
dramatic stone countertop styles and colors with waterfall details that put the slabs on full display.
Amazing Showers
A spa-like bathroom is the goal of many homeowners. Few things deliver that feel quite like a beautifully designed shower. We expect attention on lavish shower features and materials to continue to rise in 2024. Things like bold, focal-point tile walls, wet-room setups, multiple shower heads, steam options, low-curb and curbless designs, heated benches, and other luxurious details will continue to turn showers into the most relaxing spots in a home.
Wood Bathroom Vanities
For years, white bathroom vanities were the preferred choice among homeowners. At the same time, wood vanities were steadily increasing in popularity. But in 2023, wood became the top choice for bathroom vanities and we expect that trend to continue. Designer Sara Bass says that, “This bathroom shows an unexpected combination of finishes and lighting that gives the bathroom a warm, organic feel.”
Warm Neutrals
Perhaps the most talked-about trend happening now is the move away from cool grays and stark whites to warmer neutrals like beiges, creamy off-whites and rich browns. We first predicted this infusion in the kitchen, but the look is beginning to dominate throughout the home to provide a calmer, more welcoming environment. Designers recommend incorporating different tones, textures and patterns to create
