Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the seasons are changing, yin and yang are in decline, and qi is in rotation. Trends are the laws of the development of all things, constantly evolving in demand and aesthetics, fleeting but eternal. The field of interior design continues to develop with the changes of the times, and the demand for living quality is also updated and iterative. WGSN, a global authoritative trend research organization, pointed out that consumers' anxiety is intensifying, and people are more yearning for a comfortable and comfortable lifestyle and time. Therefore, the home improvement trend in 2024 will also revolve around the themes of nature, minimalism, intelligence, sensory, safety, and health, with more emphasis on comfort and functionality.
Trend 1: Rattan natural elements
Green living is not just a trend, it's a way of life. 2024 Eco-conscious interior design will be in the spotlight and encompassing many other popular trends, with bio-elements, sustainable materials and plant walls gradually being brought from outdoor spaces to indoors. Nowadays, more and more designs show a tendency to find intimacy with the natural environment, that is, to blur the boundaries between the outdoor and the indoor, the architecture and the nature.
For example, rattan elements are everywhere. Even in home renovation where there is no style to speak of, rattan elements can play a role.
You've seen rattan on headboards, lampshades, benches, bar counters, chairbacks, and next year we'll see more and more rattan elements used in wardrobes or derailed frontal doors.
And who doesn't love this natural element?They offer a rich texture, are more sustainable than wood, are extremely diverse, and adapt well to the humid climate of southern our country.
Trend 2: Coffee bars
Coffee has gradually become a necessity for modern urbanites, and more and more people are starting to take making coffee seriously. It's time to give your coffee maker a place in your home that costs thousands of dollars.
Ideally, the coffee bar should be prominently located in your home to showcase your expensive coffee maker and beautiful cups, usually between the living room and the kitchen. In addition, sinks and water filtration systems are also necessary.
Trend 3: Small office areas
As more and more people no longer need to work from home, a separate study room may no longer be reasonable. Conversely, it is more appropriate to create a small office area in the corner of the living room, dining room, and bedroom.
Multi-functional furniture and custom-made furniture can meet your creativity of hiding the office area, so that you can still make full use of the space function during non-working hours.
The WFH Stations are gradually transforming into small, discreet installations that look like a drink cabinet, a writing desk, or a wardrobe, but hide all the stresses, documents, and fragments of your life.
Trend 4: Technological aesthetic trends
One-click switch or even contactless interaction is applied in the home space, bringing great convenience and becoming more and more favored by people, which also means that the home in 2024 will be more intelligent. After all, who doesn't want their house to look good and be "smart" at the same time!
With the development of technology in recent years, our way of life has changed completely. The pursuit of a more convenient life in the fast pace has led to a new round of "lazy economy" boom.
Smart home technology will be a big trend in interior design in the coming years. With the development of IoT technology, our home devices will be able to communicate through IoT interconnection to achieve automation and automated control. For example, we can control lighting, temperature, security systems and other devices through mobile phone apps to make living spaces more convenient and comfortable.
Trend 5: Natural lighting
Light plays a vital role in interior design. The trend for 2024 will further emphasize the use and maximization of light.
Designers will be more likely to use design elements such as large windows, lighting, and luminous materials to increase the amount of natural light that can make the space brighter, more open, and more comfortable, while also helping to improve the mood and quality of life of the occupants.
The existence of light allows people to perceive the evolution of the form and texture of objects. In the field of design, especially in space, light is not only a kind of lighting decoration, but also participates in the creation and reorganization of space.
Trend 6: Multi-functional layouts
In 2024, people's needs for living spaces will be more diverse and multi-functional. Due to the acceleration of urbanization and the limited nature of land resources, people need to use limited space to create more functions.
Therefore, the multi-functionality of furniture and multi-functional space layout will become the trend of interior design. For example, stowable furniture, foldable walls, and movable partitions can change the function and purpose of the space at any time as needed.
