Love 'em or loathe 'em, it's that time of year when the annual interior design trends get trotted out as something we should all be following.
To me, the biggest design mistake you can make is ignoring your own personal taste in favour of what you think should be your taste. It’s better to look at interior design trends and see how to make them your own, for a truly timeless look.
So let’s take a look at which interior design trends 2024 I think are actually worth taking note of.
1. Bold colours
If you know me at all – which hopefully you do by now! – this was obviously going to be my number 1. People often come to me asking to inject more colour, but they’re afraid of how to use it. If colour drenching an entire room is too much for you, dip your toe in this trend with coloured architraves, skirting boards and window reveals, or even just a few pops of coloured decor pieces.

2. Artisanal + Vintage Finds
We are so lucky to be surrounded by skilled artisans and makers. Search out your local makers and support them, now more than ever. Yes, it will cost more than a mass produced piece. But it will be made by hand, be unique and stand the test of time.
3. Alternative Materials
Interiors have gone futuristic with innovative materials like recycled plastics and fibres grown from fungi and seaweed.
Not to mention a personal fave of mine, cork. They’re sustainable and will literally help you breathe easier.

4. Stripes
Who doesn’t love a stripe? No-one I know. Despite it being the ubiquitous uniform of middle class mums everywhere (I have no less than 15 tops in my collection, shhh), it has also crossed over into interiors.
Look for striped tiles, upholstery and floor coverings, and make rooms appear bigger with painted stripe effects.

5. Colourful Kitchens
No more all white kitchens. People are eschewing the clinical all white look and leaning towards more colour, with all shades of green having a big moment, as well as pastels and bolds.
We’re craving warmth and comfort, and 2023’s biophilic trend is still big for 2024. Expect to see kitchen designs feel more like living room spaces.
