One of the most appealing characteristics of a new build home is that it's a blank canvas you can adapt to suit you and your family's lifestyle with every room ready and waiting for you to make your mark.

However with infinite possibilities, how do you make the right choice when choosing your home's style? In today's post – we're going to be looking at the Top 10 interior trends coming in 2024 to help give you some inspiration.

1. Fluted Wooden Panelling

Since the beginning of 2023, wooden panelling has become more and more popular with the DIY'ers and the trend is showing no sign of dissipating in 2024. As a relatively easy and low cost way to add interest to your walls at home, it's an obvious choice when revamping your interiors.

One update to the trend for this year is the switch to fluted panels seeing a rise in popularity. Instead of creating large framed areas with beading and caulk – fluted panels are made up of thinner slats of wood creating the perfect neutral backdrop to add some style to your room.

2. The New Utility

2024 is going to see a rise in people investing in utility areas for their homes so naturally there'll be a call for space saving solutions and hardier materials. To help boost space, why not invest in an overhead clothes airer? It's an easy way to combine functionality with style while also making the most of your space.

If you're looking for a stylish flooring material that can handle the high traffic, opt for something like tile or laminate flooring. These are also easy to clean meaning any marks or scuffs can be simply wiped away.

3. Feature Furniture

Gone are the days of picking a sofa that will blend into the background of your living space – next year will be the year of feature furniture. With more neutral backdrops, rooms will be ready for a statement sofa or chunky coffee table and bold pops of colour. Using furniture is an easy way to install your own sense of style into a space without committing to a new wall colour or flooring.

If you're nervous about having one bold splash of colour in a room, consider using smaller features such a cushion covers and pictures frames to help tie it all together.

4. Show Stopping Mirrors

Mirrors are an easy and effective way to make a statement in your home whilst also providing a myriad of benefits. If your room is looking too gloomy for your taste, a mirror will help to bounce light around and make it feel bigger and they can help fill blank walls without limiting yourself to one style of artwork.

Searches for mirror installation on Yelp increased by 34% this year and they aren't showing any signs of slowing down. With so many style and size options, there's a mirror out there for every home, including yours.

5. Home Hotel

With the staycation trend still on everyone's mind since the pandemic, more and more people are turning to a vacation in their most familiar place – their home. As a result of this, different trends are popping up to help people get that hotel feeling at home. Two easy ways to do this are to consider materials and lighting. By opting for more luxurious materials that the rest of your property, you can help turn your bedroom into a luxury escape from the day to day.

This can be further enhanced by investing in some mood lighting. Swap your harsh overhead lighting for the soft glow of some stick on LED strips behind your headboard and a few well placed lamps.

6. Green Living

With a big focus continuing on eco-concious living and renewable energy, people are turning their attention to plants and the effects they can have on a home. As well as being a stylish option for a coffee table or sideboard, there are many ways in which plants can support your health and wellbeing.

These can include things such as relieving stress and anxiety and boosting your mood all the way up to purifying the air while you sleep. With so many options and each plant doing a different job, make sure you do your research and pick the right plant for you and your room.

7. Warm Minimalism

When it comes to creating a tranquil and peaceful space at home, nothing can take the place of a simple and organised area. Spaces and homes that are devoid of clutter remain a timeless choice and for 2024, this trend is adopting a warmer personality.

Warm minimalism embraces soft smooth shapes and warm tones, emitting a sense of comfort that enhances your space's natural aura. Opting for comforting materials such at boucle and cotton will also help to set your home's tone and keep the mood comforting.

8. Long live the Home Office

Say goodbye to the dining room desks and laptops on the sofa – with remote working going nowhere in 2024, a home office is set to become a permanent addition to your home. Keeping your office separate to other living spaces will not only ensure that it remains a productive area but also allow you to put a different style stamp on it.

No longer a hastily thrown together area, your office can be used as an extension of your home style with a few added extras thrown in. Don't forget to consider details like lighting and storage to keep productivity at a high.

9. Pop Art Florals

Whilst florals have appeared throughout the home over the years, 2024 will see the return of the bold colours of the 70's and 80's. Taking the sugary sweet edge off and turning it into something modern and chic, pop art florals can be used in a number of different ways to make their own statement on your décor. As well as in bedding and soft furnishings, why not consider a retro style print to brighten up your hallway or fully commit and try a floral wallpaper in a downstairs bathroom.

10. Spa-throom

Similar to having that hotel feeling at home, more and more people are turning to their bathroom as their escape from the outside world. With the cost of living affecting holiday plans and requiring a closer eye on budget, creating your own spa experience is an easy way to get the benefit of a luxury trip from the comfort of your own home.

Creating a spa style bathroom doesn't have to break the bank – consider small details like candles and scented candles to create a calming atmosphere. Got slightly more budget to play with? Consider upgrading your shower and bath to include spa elements such as whirlpool fittings and rain effects.
