Brown Renaissance
“For 2024 we will continue to see designs trending out of grays and into browns. Not only will this be seen in fabrics and textiles but also in cabinetry and casegoods,” says Next Wave Designer DuVäl. This wave of chocolate neutrals has also been noted by a survey on design trends the New York Design Center conducted. Over 90 percent of respondents predict that brown will be the colour of choice in 2024. Here, designer Katie Rosenfeld painted the trim and ceiling in Setting Plaster by Farrow & Ball, what she calls a nude pinky tone to offset the browns and olives in this bathroom’s Michael S. Smith wallpaper.

Sculptural Art
“Wall-mounted sculptures offer so much depth and dimension. Prints behind glass can feel so flat. I like to mix artworks in a variety of finishes, textures, and shapes,” designer Tara McCauley explains. She also notes that the work of creating an attractive “Zoom background” for your colleagues to see is just as important as having a beautiful view when you’re facing the computer. McCauley brings inky dark walls to life in this hardworking corner with a black and white sculptural piece above the desk. It’s a blank slate for your ideas to come to life!

Dynamic Range Hoods
“Hood vent covers often fall to the back burner during the kitchen design process, but I anticipate a greater focus on them in 2024. We will see bolder designs incorporating distinct textures on the hood, like plaster or wood fluting. I always like to pair a dramatic hood vent with a beautiful eye-catching range, like the iconic models offered by Wolf,” says New York City-based designer Hilary Matt. Here, a deep olive green hood is the center of attention. The design of this unit is contemporary, masking itself in the heavy industrial look found in most kitchen hoods.

A Pause From Technology
“What I think will be a big turnabout in design for 2024, is that more and more of my clients are actually wanting to return to ‘dumb homes’ at least that’s what I’m calling the opposite of a smart home! Harsh blue lights and bright touchscreens that illuminate when you walk by at night are starting to give way to a love of mechanical controls: old-school buttons, switches that toggle up and down, and simpler toilet washlets!” says Nozawa. Self-care sessions in the bathroom can have a refreshing start without the buzz of tech. This bathroom window invites nature in as you start your day renewed and focused.

Bold Colours
Leah Alexander of Beauty is Abundant says this will be the year of investments in vibrant and audacious colour choices. “I see the appeal of gray and white kitchens and endless beige bouclé tapering off in favor of vibrance, saturation, and increasingly edgy colour combinations,” says Alexander. “While I’m still obsessed with zellige tile I’m seeing stronger staying power in simple shapes in unique hues.”

Surprising Murals
Take your home’s design to the next level! Often ignored but frequently used, your stairway is the perfect place to hint at the beauty to come within your home. Take note of this stairway designed by Andre Hilton of Jordan Hilton Interiors that adds intrigue to the walls. “You will start to see murals appear in unexpected places such as foyers and stair halls,” Hilton says. “No more boring, neglected stairwells. They deserve just as much attention as any other room in the house. It should definitely be a journey from one floor to the next, and this trend is sure to make people fall in love with every inch of their home.”

Innovative Materials
Design duo Joel Wong and Amanda Gunawan of OWIU Design anticipate a rise in sustainable materials in both design and building. Think unique pieces like seaweed lamps, features made out of mycelium, or Japanese shikkui plaster made out of natural seaweed fibers. While designers and homeowners have been open to more intentional sustainable choices, next year will become an overarching goal.

Inviting Living Rooms
So long to cold, white living rooms! Embrace a living room you can actually enjoy without worrying about accidental wine stains. Alexis Pew of Kaminski + Pew shares, “Minimalism, but it’s evolved into a look that is less rigid for a more organic and inviting feel. Warm, textural spaces with natural materials in moodier, earthy colour palettes. We’re moving away from bright whites and grays toward more creams, browns, rusts, and muted greens.”

Personalized Eclectism
According to designer Kerri Pilchik, 2024 will be a year of putting decor with character and stories first. “I think in 2024 we are going to see more highly personalized spaces and rich colour palettes,” Pilchik shares. “Interiors will be more eclectic as people use antiques and pieces that have been passed down from family alongside new pieces that range from bespoke to CB2.” In line with the uptick we’ve seen in antique and vintage shopping, homeowners have the desire to create a connection to their past. This pattern-clad bathroom cleverly displays a colourful and layered personality, from the scalloped shower curtains to the monogrammed towels.

Cozy Quiet Luxury
“Maybe it is the ‘quiet luxury’ effect, but I anticipate a trend toward relaxed and casual luxury, specifically when it comes to furniture,” says Jen Samson of Jen Samson Design. “Clients will lean more towards comfortable, lived-in furniture rather than smooth clean, and sterile looks.”
