Home Trends for May 2024: A Casual Look into the Future
Hey there, design enthusiasts! We’re almost halfway through 2024 and it’s time to talk about the latest and greatest in home trends.
The Rise of the Underestimated Spaces
Gemma Riberti, head of interiors at international trend forecasting agency WGSN, observes that previously underestimated areas of the home such as the hallway, pantry, utility room, and laundry room are coming center stage. So, don’t be afraid to give these spaces some love!
Handmade and Eclectic
Searches for ‘handmade’ and ‘eclectic interior design vintage’ are growing steadily. It’s all about objects that show who you are. So, go ahead and display that quirky piece of art you picked up on your last vacation. Your home should tell your story.
Bling It On
Our furniture is about to get blinged-out. In Milan, some of the biggest names in Italian design went all-out on gold bling. So, if you’re ready for some 24-karat magic, now’s the time!
Timeless Style and Handmade Features
Many homeowners are requesting traditional details and materials that create a timeless style. Accompanying this trend is an embrace of handmade features and details. So, if you’re looking for something truly unique and special, consider incorporating handmade tiles or custom bathroom vanities.
Wood is Booming
While always classic, wood cabinets and other details are booming right now. So, if you’re thinking of a kitchen remodel, consider going with wood cabinets for a warm, timeless look.
