Not every trend is timeless. 2023 trends featured lots of bold colors and maximalism full of styles that have now been blacklisted for the crime of shining too brightly and entered the realm of overuse.  

While in 2024, we expect to see cozy, layered materials with natural inspiration, ready to steal the spotlight in 2024. As you begin to plan your home improvements for the spring, we hope new trends and styles inspire you along the way! 

First, the Outs

  • Maximalism: Less is more, and maximalism has had its peak. Simplify your space and daily rituals without the hassle of excessive decor. 
  • Open Concept Living: The era of open concept living is officially closed. Homeowners now crave privacy and intentional spaces for specific needs within their homes. 
  • Rattan Everything: Rattan’s popularity may have reached its peak. It’s time for it to become more of an accent than a focal point. 
  • White and Gray Monochromatic Schemes: The trend of white and gray color schemes is fading. Creamier neutrals, layers, and textures are making spaces more inviting. 

As we transition from the outs to the ins, it’s evident that as homeowners are making home improvements, they are seeking a balance between simplicity and warmth. The focus is shifting from excessive decor to intentional design, where practicality meets aesthetic appeal. 

Now, the Ins

  • Blending Backsplashes: Breaking away from traditional tile backsplashes, designers are incorporating slabs of stone or quartz for a visually striking and easy-to-maintain focal point in kitchens. 
  • Timeless Style: Syles featuring traditional details like brick, handmade clay tiles, arches, and rustic wood elements continue to be a homeowner favorite. 
  • Dark Wood: The shift towards warmer, dark wood tones is underway, with materials like shou sugi ban and smoked oak gaining popularity in furniture and beyond. 
  • Tiled Brick: Tiled brick makes a big comeback in 2024, adding texture and interest to patios, kitchens, and feature walls. 

It’s clear that 2024 is predicted to be a blend of practicality, warmth, and visual appeal compared to 2023’s bold and maximalist style. As you begin your home improvements and renovations, we hope you have fun as your home reflects the evolving tastes and preferences of the times!
