2024’s Hottest Interior Design Trends: Transform Your Space With Timeless Elegance

  • Living Space is committed to creating contemporary interiors that are luxurious, comfortable and practical. 

    Whether you love a traditional look or are a trendsetter, our interior designers are in touch with the latest design trends.

    Living Space appreciates the world of interior design is constantly evolving, with every year bringing fresh ideas. However, most of us want a space which is timelessly elegant and won’t go out of style quickly. Having been in this industry over 25 years, we’ve seen many trends come and go over the decades!

    While it makes sense to take inspiration from trends, it’s important not to let them dictate the design for your space. 

    So, what were the hottest interior design trends of 2024, and what should be expected in the year ahead? Here are just a few of the trends that have been most popular this year:

    Eco-Friendly Designs

    The sustainability movement is more popular than ever, with increasing numbers of people mindful of their environmental impact. Perhaps you want an interior that makes use of sustainable materials and furniture. 

    Another way to make a space more eco-friendly is switching to energy-efficient appliances. 

    Vintage and antique furniture is also increasingly popular, along with great recycling. 

    Supporting local artisans and using regionally sourced materials will become more popular, reducing carbon footprints and encouraging sustainable design practices.

    Bringing the Outdoors Inside

    The practice of integrating nature into interior design is known as ‘biophilic design’. It’s a great way to create a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors. Using natural features is a wonderful way to create harmony in a home. 

    Popular interior design trends in 2024 have included vertical gardens and potted plants. These inject greenery into a space, without compromising on floor space. One way to transform a space is to let more natural light in, whether using larger windows, skylights or mirrors. 

    Curved Furniture and Soft Lines

    Straight, angular furniture isn’t as popular this year. Instead, curved sofas, rounded tables and arched doorways are in. These help to make a space feel more inviting and cosy. Rounded mirrors have been part of the desire for a natural vibe this year.

    Striking Accent Walls and Colourful Kitchens

    Interior design is all about expressing yourself within your home. While 2023 was dominated by neutral tones, this year has seen a resurgence of bolder, more eye-catching colours. You don’t necessarily have to go wild with colour: many people like to have an accent wall to add more depth and interest. 

    Statement Lighting as Artistic Expression

    Thinking of updating your lighting this winter? During those dark, cold evenings, lighting can make all the difference to the ambience in your home.

    This year lighting has been making a real statement; it’s long become more than merely practical, but centrepieces which double as a form of art. Popular interior design trends in 2024 that have helped transform spaces, include:

    • Sculptural Lighting: Pendant lights in particular have never been more sought-after and are ideal for creating timelessly elegant spaces. 

    • Layered Lighting: Using different types of lighting creates a warm, layered effect that can be adjusted to suit different moods.

    • Smart Lighting Technology: Integrated lighting systems allow homeowners to control the ambience of a room with ease, catering to different times of day and activities.

    What is 2025 Likely to Bring in the World of Interior Design? 

    Next year, what’s known as ‘hyper-personalisation’ is only likely to increase. Most of us want a space where every element is chosen with our preferences and lifestyle in mind. Our interior designers at Living Space are highly experienced at creating rooms which will be crafted to reflect individual routines, tastes, and hobbies.

    For instance, customised furniture is likely to become more popular, especially in cities where space is more limited. Custom textiles and wallpaper will also rise in popularity, as we all want to make our stamp on a space. 

    Technology will continue to transform interiors. Smart home technology will evolve, giving us greater control over lighting, temperature, and entertainment systems. 

    Immersive Experiences through Texture

    2025 will see an increased interest in interior schemes where touch and texture play a central role. This trend aligns with us taking a more holistic approach to interiors. Ways to do this include:

    • Textured Walls and Floors: Along with smooth paint and flooring, textured wall coverings, cork floors, and woven wall hangings are great for bringing depth to spaces.

    • Tactile Decor: Soft, plush fabrics like bouclé, velvet, and textured linens will make rooms feel inviting, especially in living rooms and bedrooms.

    • Interactive Design Elements: From weighted blankets to modular seating, more of us want a space that helps us relax and enhances our wellbeing.
