It is shaping up to be a wild year already! A year where the interior design space is dying to break the mould and kickstart the new year in a big way. We have collected 4 of the most searched new trends of the last few months to determine what’s kicking down the door of 2024.
Metallics: Versatile Elegance
In the ongoing war between Beige Mums and Polychromes sit the Metallics. They bridge the gap, the chameleons of interior design, they complement a spectrum of colours. With metallics, you can create an almost monochrome feel with neutrals and gold or fit the contrast with a cool colour and silver or chrome.
You can bring these metallic elements into the kitchen with copper or gold trim to the ultra-modern vanquish handless kitchen. Or choose sleek bar handles with some shine for your drawers and cupboards. You can even find some Silestone worktops with a subtle but shining metallic vein. Consider subtle touches such as metallic lamp shades, blinds or curtains that can be a modern and classy addition to any room.
Kitsch: Nostalgia Meets Modernity
Kitsch seems to make its way back to our style guides every so often, it’s a style that has been oft ridiculed yet remains a memorable style with staying power. The recent nostalgia trend is bringing back the love of everything that reminds us of our childhoods. This includes your grandma’s ‘best plates’. With a new sleek modern twist, these ‘kitsch’ items can become a bright feature in your kitchen.
Also referred to as ‘eclectic’, think Cath Kidston-inspired charm- China crockery, vibrant florals, and retro-look appliances. When you think of a retro appliance you often think of SMEG kettles, toasters, and coffee machines. But their classic range in Portofino and Victoria, vintage-inspired ranges, fridges, and cookers are making a comeback to create that cottage core dream.
Western Gothic: Modern Cowboy
One of the newest trends we have seen is Western Gothic. This is also the one we know the least about, as it begind to emerge only this year.
Usually comprised of a modern edge on your Country Western with a black palette against neutral backdrops. Incorporate natural elements like wood, faux fur, and leather for a subtle cowboy aesthetic. Whether it’s a rug, chair, or a full country-inspired touch, Western Gothic is the new dramatic trend, breaking out of its bonds in the southern US.
Café Core: Be Your Own Barista
Cafés. A place away from home that can offer a refreshing but comforting feeling. Home of dream-filled writers, tired office workers and even more tired baristas. Many people are bringing barista-level coffee skills home with them, with coffee machines, French presses, drip coffee and cold brew contraptions available.
So why not make your own café in your very own kitchen diner? This is easily achieved with shaker cabinets with bi-folding pantry doors to hide your little café whenever you need to.
Have you seen any cool, strange, or shocking trends making
their way onto your Instagram feeds, Pinterest searches or maybe your own home?
These are just a handful of trends we have seen emerging so
far this year, with so much of it left to go, we are looking forward to seeing
what the new designers are coming up with to shake up the industry.
