Whether you're planning a new build or a remodel, here are the top design trends for 2024 to inspire your next project.
So what’s in for 2024?
Biophilic Design
Biophilic design focuses on integrating natural elements into your living space, creating a harmonious connection with the outdoors. This trend promotes well-being by incorporating natural light, greenery, and organic materials, fostering a serene and rejuvenating environment.
Key Elements:
Natural Materials: Use wood, stone, and other natural materials to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Indoor Plants: Incorporate a variety of indoor plants to bring life and freshness to your space.
Natural Light: Maximize natural light with large windows and open spaces.
Pro Tip:
Feature Walls: Use dark wood panels to create a striking feature wall.
Furniture: Incorporate dark wood furniture for a cohesive look.
Accent Pieces: Use dark wood in small accents like frames or decorative items.
Artisanal Craftsmanship
In 2024, there is a growing appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship. Clients are increasingly valuing handmade, bespoke pieces that add a unique, personal touch to their homes. This trend emphasizes quality, authenticity, and the beauty of imperfection.
Key Elements:
Handcrafted Furniture: Invest in bespoke furniture pieces made by skilled artisans.
Unique Textiles: Use handcrafted textiles, such as rugs and throws, to add texture and warmth.
Personalized Decor: Incorporate one-of-a-kind decor items that reflect your personal style.
Tech, Innovation, and Sustainable Design
The integration of technology, innovation, and sustainability continues to shape home design. From smart home systems that enhance security and convenience to eco-friendly solutions that reduce your carbon footprint, these elements are becoming essential in modern homes.
Key Elements:
Smart Home Systems: Implement smart technology to control lighting, heating, security, and more.
Eco-Friendly Materials: Use sustainable materials and energy-efficient appliances to create an environmentally conscious home.
Innovative Design: Incorporate cutting-edge design solutions that enhance functionality and comfort.
Embracing Quiet Luxury
Quiet luxury is all about understated elegance and quality. This trend focuses on high-end materials, subtle details, and sophisticated design elements that create a serene and luxurious atmosphere.
Key Elements:
Natural Materials: Use materials like marble, dark wood, and high-quality textiles.
Elegant Simplicity: Opt in for designs that emphasize clean lines and timeless elegance.
Subtle Accents: Incorporate discreet luxury items, such as marble accessories and glass bricks.
Fashion Colors for Home
2024 sees a shift towards bold, fashion-forward colors in home design. These vibrant hues can breathe new life into any space, adding personality and flair.
Key Elements:
Rich Tones: Experiment with deep blues, forest greens, and warm terracottas.
Accent Walls: Create a statement with a bold accent wall or colorful furnishings.
Mix and Match: Combine different shades and textures to add depth and interest.
Pro Tip:
· Subtle Patterns: Incorporate more delicate, muted toned patterns for a softer look.
· Versatile Applications: Layer rugs and curtains to add texture. Think outside the box to create a bold design to your space.
Monochromatic-Rooms
Mono-rooms are multifunctional spaces that adapt to various needs. These versatile rooms can serve as a home office, guest room, or leisure space, offering flexibility and efficiency.
Key Elements:
Smart Storage: Incorporate built-in storage solutions to keep the space organized and clutter-free. This will keep the eyes from being distracted by unwanted, but practical clutter laying around.
Flexible Furniture: Use furniture in the same color palette as the room and pieces that can be easily reconfigured.
And what’s out for 2024?
Instagram and Pinterest Designs
Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest continue to influence home design trends. These platforms showcase aspirational and aesthetically pleasing designs that homeowners want to replicate.
Key Elements:
Trendy Decor: Our clients are searching for spaces that are curated to both their design style and lifestyle. We see that the trendy décor doesn’t give our clients the feeling and visualization of “their home”, rather just shows a home. This does not connect our clients to all their hard work and dedication they have put into designing their custom spaces.
Examples of Trendy Décor: Ivory boucle, fake fur throws, wicker lamps, and Pampas grass. We are not saying we don’t like these design elements, but we are seeing these are repeated and not unique to each individual client—therefore we have to advise our clients to stay away from these elements.
Fast Furniture and Minimalism
Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest continue to influence home design trends. These platforms showcase aspirational and aesthetically pleasing designs that homeowners want to replicate.
Key Elements:
Fast Furniture: Clients are moving away from getting all the “trendy” Pottery Barn and Amazon pieces and gravitating towards one-of-a-kind pieces or collectibles.
Minimalism: Although the minimalist approach provides clean lines and uncluttered spaces, we see that this also sets a regularity amongst end products. KDH firmly believes adding your personality to your spaces.
All White Kitchens: We have all seen the rise in green cabinets in recent designs. But we personally cannot get enough of the timeless, raw wood tones for kitchens. All white designs are clean, but here at KDH, we can make any design both clean and personalized to have character.

Client Testimonial:
" I worked with Kevin and his team to custom design my lake house and they are literally amazing. From communications through the sealed plans they were a dream to work with. My lot was an odd build plot and Kevin came up with a fantastic design to take most advantage of the lake view. His team is also so great to work with…especially the office manager Caity, so lovely! Thank you so much KDH!” – Jeannine Edwards
