We’ve all had it with stage set interiors, with wafer-thin bricks and uncomfortable furniture designed to look good only in an image. Our clients are craving real places not just photo ready. There is a movement away from flawless. The emphasis is now on creating interiors that not only withstand daily life and connected to those who live there. –Vicky Charles
Ivory Boucle
Love the texture, but it’s time to bring some richness back with colors and patterns. –Heidi Caillier
It was so ubiquitous for a couple of years that it was inevitable that it would go out of fashion. –Timothy Corrigan
Boucle will be used less. Still a wonderful textural fabric, but other types will become more prevalent. –Brigitte Romanek
Fast fashion furniture
Clients want to invest in pieces they can keep forever, and there is a continued eye towards sustainability. –Heidi Caillier
No more cheap imitations and instead the designer piece that’s built to last as an investment vs. good for now and disposable. –Vicky Charles
Homeowners are growing weary of mass-produced furniture that quickly falls apart or looks generic and dated. –Timothy Corrigan
Fake Fur Throws
No more fake fur throws! Instead woven textures and knits… anything that shows the hands of the craftsman, always. –Vicky Charles
Wicker Lamps
For 18 months wicker lighting fixtures were being sold at every price point from high-end UK furniture maker, Soane, to mass marketers like Pottery Barn. They came and went. Goodbye. –Timothy Corrigan
Ruffles
Anything with a ruffle edge and skirted tables… all are so dated! –Kathryn M. Ireland
Minimalism
Bland uniformity and minimalism are out. –Robin Standefer
Neutral minimalism has about run its course. The palette isn’t what is necessarily going out of style, moreso its application. Layered implementations of neutrals make a confident design statement and tell a much bigger story. *–*Alfredo Paredes
2024 is the year to banish sterile environments and embrace things that really reflect you and your loves. –Martin Brudnizki
Ultra minimalist interiors—bring some soul in! Warm the space up, and create a happy medium
between minimalism and maximalist spaces. Balance is good. –Joy Moyler
Mid-Century Modern Angular Furniture
We’re seeing the absolute death of angular mid-century-looking pieces. –Timothy Corrigan
All-White Kitchens
The all-white cabinetry kitchen is giving way to color—every shade of green is very strong, along with pastel shades and bold blues. 2024 will see more color, more adventurous choices, and bolder kitchens that feel more like living rooms than kitchens. –Martyn Lawrence Bullard
