21st Feb 2024
Interior design trends are constantly evolving, reflecting the shift towards comfortable, livable spaces that blend style and functionality. In 2024, several key trends are poised to dominate the scene, offering exciting possibilities to transform your home.
Quiet Luxury: Timeless Refinement
Gone are the days of loud, flashy design. 2024 embraces understated elegance and quality craftsmanship. Think classic silhouettes like the Pitcher Dining Chair in fully black velvet fabric, radiating subtle luxury, or the Parq Barstool with its natural round form, adding a touch of organic warmth. Muted color palettes create a sense of calm and sophistication. Imagine the Anders Tallboy anchoring your bedroom with its sleek lines and rich color. This trend is perfect for achieving a timeless look that never goes out of style.
Monochromatic: A Feast for the Eyes
The all-black-everything trend remains strong, but 2024 expands the monochrome palette. Embrace earthy tones like brown, creating visually complex spaces through layering different shades and textures. Picture the Nora Chair paired with a walnut brown couch and complemented by scattered cushions in varying shades of brown for a cohesive yet dynamic feel. Black oak furniture like the Fuji Barstool adds a touch of modern elegance. Don't be afraid to experiment with other monochromatic palettes like green or blue, injecting personality while maintaining visual harmony.
Local is Key: Supporting Kiwi Artisanship
More and more, people are looking to support local businesses and artisans. This extends to interior design in 2024. Opt for furniture, decor, and artwork crafted right here in New Zealand. Explore brands like Hawthorn Collection, known for their handcrafted furniture, or Alfred Street, renowned for their customizable sofas made with locally sourced fabrics. Coastwood Furniture offers beautiful pieces crafted with locally-grown timber, adding a touch of sustainability to your home. Discover unique and beautiful pieces while supporting Kiwi artisans.
Nature Inspired: Bringing the Outdoors In
Embrace the calming influence of nature by incorporating textures and prints reminiscent of the outdoors. Think organic shapes like the Riviera Side Table or the Crusoe Slab Side Table, both adding a touch of natural beauty to your space. Soothing colors like lush greenery and earthy tones create a tranquil atmosphere. Imagine the Karel Sideboard with its organic wood grain becoming a statement piece in your living room. This trend is perfect for creating a haven of peace and relaxation in your home.
