Biophilic Design: Bringing the Outdoors In

Ever since the start of my career as an interior designer, I have always created designs that encompass the idea of bringing the outdoors in. Maybe it’s the inner gardener in me (my second passion!), but in my view, a house is not a home until you bring in lots of greenery. Biophilic design continues to gain traction in 2024, emphasising the connection between humans and nature within indoor spaces. Incorporating elements like plants, natural light, and organic materials not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes well-being. Consider introducing potted plants, large windows, and wooden accents to infuse your home with the calming essence of nature.
Multifunctional Furniture: Maximising Space and Utility

With space becoming increasingly precious, multifunctional furniture has become a lifesaver for many homeowners. Pieces like sofa beds, storage ottomans, and extendable dining tables offer practical solutions without compromising on style. My favourite go to shop for this kind of furniture is Loaf - they are so creative!
Earthy Colour Palettes: Embracing Warmth and Serenity

2024 heralds the reign of earthy colour palettes, with hues like terracotta, olive green, and ochre taking center stage. These warm and grounding tones create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether through painted walls, upholstered furniture, or decorative accents, infusing your home with earthy colours adds depth and character to any space.
Sustainable Materials: Eco-Friendly Choices for a Greener Home

Victoria Pine and Vinterior have some truly beautiful antique pieces and if you love mid-century modern then check out Galf Retro Furniture - stunning pieces at affordable prices.
As sustainability takes precedence in design considerations, eco-friendly materials are gaining popularity. Opt for sustainable options such as bamboo flooring, reclaimed wood furniture, and recycled glass decor to minimize environmental impact while elevating your interior aesthetic. Explore selections from ethical home decor brands committed to eco-conscious practices such as Nkuku , Barker and Stonehouse, and Tikamoon.
The interior design trends of 2024 reflect a harmonious blend of style, functionality, and sustainability. Whether you're revamping your living space or simply looking to refresh its ambiance, these trends offer endless inspiration for creating a home that's both on-trend and eco-conscious.
