Warm Browns
“Our favorite decorating trend of 2024 has been the use of warm browns as a dominant color in a home palette! We love the sophistication, warmth, and interest that brown adds to a space. Brown has an elegance and fee; effortlessly chic feel, in particular when layered with tonal colors. We strive for our spaces to feel restorative and easy to be in and brown is such an inviting and friendly color that truly levels up any space. We have been loving bringing in more red/purple-based browns into our daring clients' spaces, in particular dining rooms.” —Carly Shafiroff, Owner and Principal Designer, Carly Jane Design
Textured Walls
“I love the return to wallpaper and wall texture. For a while, the world was all about neutrals and safe beige looks and I'm excited to see that people are embracing wallpaper and different paint textures again. In 2025, we plan to do a lot with limewash, Roman clay, and wallpapers. There are so many great options and products out there and we are making it feel current by experimenting with new patterns, murals, and color combinations.” —Hema Persad, Founder & Principal Designer, Sagrada Studio
Silver Accents
“We’ve seen a major shift toward all brass in recent years, but in 2024, people began reintroducing silver accents into décor and architectural finishes. It’s a great way to balance the warmth of brass while adding an unexpected pop. As a designer, I particularly love how silver strikes a balance between modern and traditional, and has so much versatility.” —Lindsie Davis, Founder and Principal Designer, Blueberry Jones Design
Colorful Furniture and Upholstery
“I absolutely love the fact that people are finally shifting away from bright white for walls or just neutral for furniture and fabric, and leaning more into moody and rich colors and patterns. Keep this up for the next year by experimenting more with unexpected color combinations and bold contrasts.” —Linette Dai, Founder & Principal Designer, Linette Dai Design
Mahogany and Dark Woods
“Darker, warm tones have come back in 2024, like walnut wood and chocolate brown. I love this because there's a coziness that lies within its depth. I think utilizing darker tones while balancing with complementing yet contrasting colors with similar undertones makes you want to stay in a space longer and relish it.” —Laura Williams of ATX Interior Design
All Things Burgundy
“My favorite interior decorating trend of 2024 has to be the use of dark burgundy paint hues. I’ve been drawn to this color for years and have used it extensively in my interiors, as well as in personal touches like my favorite flowers and even my nail polish. It’s been exciting to see others embracing this shade, too. To keep it feeling fresh and current, I like to incorporate it with a mix of materials and lighter accents—think natural wood, textured fabrics, and metallic details. This approach creates a balance, making spaces feel modern yet grounded and bringing warmth and richness without overwhelming the room.” —Becky Shea, Creative Director and Founder, Becky Shea Design
Layered Interiors
“The art of mixing textures and patterns brings an incredible amount of visual interest to a home. In my opinion, there’s nothing quite like a space layered with depth and character—it’s such an effortless way to create dimension and intrigue. Neutral minimalism has definitely had its moment, but this year, it’s been refreshing to see people embrace richer, more saturated colors, bringing personality and warmth back into their homes. I am all about continuing to embrace rich expressive colors while incorporating vibrant color pops in a variety of textures and patterns. It's the perfect way to push boundaries with a modern twist.”—Lindsie Davis, Founder and Principal Designer, Blueberry Jones Design
Stained Glass
“I’ve always been drawn to color—the richer the better. I am the great-great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany Studios and Glass, and Tiffany glass is full of classic gem tones and deep concentrated colors and those color palettes have been an inspiration for me throughout my career. Colors may come and go, however deeply saturated gem tones seem to always look chic. I have always believed and continue to believe that you cannot go wrong with the right mix of old and new. That perfect vintage item mixed in with modern and sleek.” —Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design
Mixing Metals
“I’m loving the mix of metals to keep it fresh, throwing in a little brass here and a little nickel there. It’s all about creating layers that feel intentional but still a little bit unexpected.” —Linda Hayslett of LH.Designs
