Content:
Furniture and interior design offers new trends and styles every season that reflect people's changing tastes and lifestyles. This year, designers are coming up with fresh ideas, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. In this article, we'll look at the interior design and furniture trends that will be popular this year, including colors, materials and shapes, as well as offer photos for inspiration.
Fashion styles
In 2024, interior design adheres to established styles, but with a rethinking of their principles. An interesting feature is the popularity of design trends that contradict each other. So everyone will find something to their liking.
Scandinavian
This style is simple and functional. It is dominated by light colors, a lot of light and free space. The furniture chosen is comfortable and practical, without unnecessary details. The decor is minimal but bright.
An unexpected style twist in 2024 is adding warmth and atmosphere to the restrained and slightly cold Scandi. This can be achieved with the help of textile elements in pastel shades - wicker rugs, soft plush blankets, curtains made from natural materials.
Furniture and accessories - with a predominance of warm colors, a combination of natural wood and stone is welcome. Add accessories that have a calming effect, such as flower pots.
Minimalism
Another direction that has undergone changes in 2024 is minimalist interior. We are still inclined to laconicism and the presence of air and open space, a minimum of decoration and accessories, and the absence of visual noise. These are the main style features that should prevail in the interior.
Modern trend: as with Scandi, minimalism is becoming softer. The color scheme is dominated by light brown and beige shades. Accents of muted blue or green are allowed. Accessories are of simple geometric shape, without frills in design.
Maximalism
The surge in interest in beige minimalism has created a backlash that will peak in 2024. We are talking about maximalism - a trend in design that contradicts the laconicism of Scandi and minimalism. It is similar to eclecticism: in the interior you can find incompatible things.
This style involves the use of a large number of decorative elements, textiles, plants and accessories. It is suitable for those who love rich colors and patterns and are ready to experiment with shapes and materials. In maximalism there are no strict rules for interior design; the main thing is to create a cozy space that reflects the individuality of the owner.
Quiet luxury
'Quiet luxury' has taken over fashion this year, with the phenomenon flourishing in personal style, clothing and interior design. This style strives for comfort and coziness, but at the same time looks expensive and sophisticated. The main feature of the direction is that it does not shout about its cost, but focuses on functionality and quality.
This style uses natural wood, stone, metal and glass. The color palette consists of neutral shades: white, gray, beige and brown. Furniture design places an emphasis on expensive but practical options such as leather. Luxury items are used as accessories, but there should be few of them so as not to create a feeling of excess.
Modern retro
Modern retro is a design trend that is inspired by the past, but adapts to modern realities. A distinctive feature is eclecticism: elements from different eras and countries can be combined in one space. In Russia, this style is inspired by the Soviet era: the interior combines distinctive features from the times of the USSR.
It is not so rare to notice vintage items in modern interiors, which just a few years ago were considered signs of bad taste. Now at the height of fashion are colorful carpets and massive chandeliers from the 50s, laconic furniture from the 60s, mosaic floors and colored glass partitions in the style of the 70s, etc. Household items from those times are used as stylish accessories. If an excursion into the past of the USSR does not interest you, feel free to plunge into the history of other countries.
Current trends
Current trends for 2024 continue and complement the trends of last year. It is noteworthy that practicality fades into the background, the main goal is the expression of personality and individuality. Here are some of the main trends that this year will be remembered for in the history of interior design:
- Interesting textures
Smooth walls are going out of fashion and are being replaced by textured, uneven surfaces. Accent walls made of raw brick and natural stone are at the height of fashion, as well as rough-hewn concrete or cement finishes.
If you prefer plaster, choose voluminous texture options. In textiles, including trim and upholstery, preference is also given to the most textured options, for example, linen.
- Environmentally friendly and natural
Caring for the environment is becoming a trend in 2024. This is reflected in the fact that many designers are beginning to use recycled and artificial materials in their work that do not harm humans and the environment. Aloe silk is gaining popularity - it is created with minimal harm to nature.
If this option is not for you, you can pay tribute to fashion by focusing on natural materials. At the height of fashion - wood, rattan, glass, metal, stone. The lighting is natural, so the trend will be apartments and houses with large windows that let in maximum daylight. Plants and greenery become the main accessories and fit organically into the interior.
- Warm colors
Most of the fashion styles of the year are based on peace, comfort and relaxation. Warm colors are ideal for this. Forget about cold white - if you choose neutral shades, then these should be pastel colors: ivory, soft pink, nude, beige, light brown. And the main color (according to experts from Pantone) is peach.
- Smart technologies
Technology is becoming part of interior design. Smart home elements are built into appliances and furniture and used as accessories. Voice assistants are responsible for safety, help with cooking, and independently adjust the lighting. Artificial intelligence is becoming more accessible and will soon become a mandatory part of every home.
Furniture design 2024
Furniture design and its features depend on the style of the home. However, there are several common features that household items in 2024 have in common.
- Smooth lines. Clear lines and sharp corners disappear even from minimalism. The current feature of furniture this year is soft lines and streamlined shapes. Everything is smoothed out as much as possible - oval tables, rounded sofas, semicircular arches - which creates a safe, calm atmosphere.
- Convenience and versatility. Comfort and practicality are becoming the main trends in design. Mobile furniture modules and transformers are relevant. Vivid examples are sofas made of several sections that can be swapped; a Murphy bed that stows away in a closet; a spacious chest that can be used as an ottoman.
- Personalization As with mainstream design, interior furniture in 2024 should be a reflection of individuality. It’s great if you have the opportunity to order household items according to your personal design. If you can't afford it, flea markets and manual restoration will come to the rescue.
As for the color scheme, the furniture design follows the trends that are noticeable in the main styles of the year: the main range is warm shades - combinations of beige, peach, apricot. If you prefer brighter solutions, then designers advise giving preference to muted options: for example, instead of bright green, choose grassy, and replace bright blue with indigo.
Interior decor and accessories
Interior design is a single picture that consists of many little things. Let's talk about such necessary little things as decor and accessories that will help complement the interior.
- Since monochrome options predominate among the main styles of the year, do not forget about the trendy monochromatic look. This year it is more complex and deeper: instead of one or two shades, we use multi-layer solutions that consist of several half-shades of one main color. If you want to diversify the monochrome, you can add contrasting details.
- As for the details, this is exactly a trendy feature of recent years - small accents in interior decoration and furniture. For example, a light switch can be painted metallic, and chair legs can be highlighted with gold or silver paint. Matte black is also trending – a variety of little things look great in this color scheme.
- Suddenly, large checks and wide stripes come to the fore in the decoration. Pillows, rugs, carpets, lampshades with checkerboard patterns will instantly add zest and freshness to the interior. Stripes are a good solution for finishing walls, floors, and curtains.
- Another sudden trend solution for 2024 is accent black ceilings. In spacious rooms this can create a cozy intimate atmosphere. But for owners of a small apartment, it is better to refuse such a move - you will get a small and gloomy room in which it will be uncomfortable.
So, we looked at the main trends in furniture and interior design this year. As you can see, this season the emphasis is shifting from mass and impersonality to personalization and comfort. In our store you can choose furniture and decor in Art Deco and Neoclassical styles, which will help you bring individuality to the interior and create a personal style.
