Tips from a Design Expert!
Hey! I’m Steve Smith, of Irish Realty, and I’m here with my wife Vanessa, owner of flourish Interiors, to talk about 2024 Design Trends.
It’s always exciting to see how Design Trends evolve over time! I’ve got three trends to tell you about today.
The first Design Trend is color! We are so excited to leave the era of light, bright, gray, neutral behind us. Don’t get me wrong, I love a big open, light, bright space, at the same time having a little moodiness and a little color in some of our designs is exciting. Even colors like red, obviously things like blue, or green are trending. If you’re a little bit afraid to try it, start small, maybe like a powder room or a smaller space like that, but don’t be afraid to try color.
With that in mind, my second trend is wallpaper. Not the wallpapers from the ’90s or anything like that but, we are seeing some really fun patterns and wallpapers. Again start small, maybe a powder room; also I’m seeing them on ceilings, which is really exciting if you have a smooth ceiling. Even in a small space like pantries or a closet, don’t be afraid to use wallpaper!
And then the third thing that I want to talk about is curves. Usually you see things with very straight lines, much like the kitchen I’m standing in today, but we’re seeing an introduction of curves in everything from sofas, to countertops. Examples include an island that might have a round pillar supporting it or a curved line, as well as things like curvature on light fixtures or furniture. Lots of curves and organic shapes are finding their way into the design trends right now. So there you have it, there’s my top three design trends!
