Are you ready for a refresh? If it’s been a while since you last changed up your home interiors, now is the perfect time to reimagine the space.
With fresh new colours trending and plenty of design techniques on offer, there are plenty of styles that could be perfect. To help you, here are some areas to focus on.
Choosing your colours
The colour palette you have in mind is a great starting point. If you’re thinking of introducing new, big-ticket pieces of furniture like seating or sideboards, it’s worth thinking about the overall aesthetic.
To achieve balance, consider mixing neutral tones with bolder, standout shades. Trending neutrals in 2024 are a move away from the cool greys we’ve seen in recent years. Earthy stone tones and golden honey shades are warming up everything from living rooms to kitchens and this forms a beautiful base colour for walls that can be easily complemented by furniture in bolder shades.
Adding decorative accents
You might want to keep everything on a minimalist, neutral level throughout and allow the details to inject some personality. Cushions, curtains, lamps and rugs all provide the perfect opportunity to revamp a room.
Again, the colour palette is the perfect springboard here. For a sense of fun, Peach Fuzz is still trending and adds energy to the home, while lavender-coloured accents could work beautifully against a warm honey shade or pops of green and burgundy can create an elegant effect in a larger space.
Using the space
Maximise the space you have with clever storage solutions. Built-in designs can help you free up floor space and help reduce clutter levels.
Assess the room and see if there might be any opportunities to add shelving, cupboards or other additions that might work well. If you’re thinking of making some significant changes like introducing understairs storage or built-in furniture, it’s worth speaking to an expert so that they can measure up and fit the furniture to a professional standard.
Incorporating textures
Thanks to the ‘quiet luxury’ trend, inspired by the understated opulence in TV shows like Succession, there’s a move towards introducing investment pieces it the home and offsetting these with luxurious fabrics and rich woods.
Textiles are a combination of soft materials and polished surfaces and these work for this trend but also across other designs. Take the time to mix and match looks and play around with styles to suit your taste.
Whether you’re introducing small details or statement pieces, spend some time planning what you want before you dive in. This is going to be a move away from what you have in place right now, so research the trends, colours and textures that you feel could be perfect for your home.
