As we enter a new year, the world of interior design is brimming with creative concepts. At Impact Interior Design Services, we look forward to our annual review of industry publications and news, and we’ve curated a selection of our favorite trends for this year. We predict these are poised to make a significant “Impact!” in 2024.
The overall theme for 2024 is a welcome combination of coziness, wrapped in sophistication and modern allure. Anticipate a transformation in living spaces as these trends take center stage in the coming year.
TRENDING: Cozy Spaces
While open-plan living has been popular for a while, consumers and designers are discovering that walls aren’t necessarily evil and people do need their personal space. The result is a trend toward more intimate layouts in which to socialize, read and relax.
For maximum coziness, we recommend deeper colors on the walls, drapery panels and bookshelves. In larger rooms, floating furniture away from walls creates smaller, more intimate seating areas that are conducive to cocktails, conversation and cuddling.
TRENDING: Rich color (and blue!)
In with the bold! Rich hues are in and anything gray is out. In 2024 you will see earthy browns, rich terracotta and deep oranges shades. These saturated hues bring comfort and hominess to your spaces by creating a welcoming atmosphere.
In 2024, green is making way for blue. In shades ranging from sky to Robin’s egg to navy, blue is the “it” color on everyone’s “This Year’s Hottest” list.
Bold to serene and everything in between, you’ll see blue on walls, cabinets, and textiles this year. If you’re not ready to commit to an entirely blue room, a blue ceiling is evocative of the outdoors and can be a lovely touch in a bedroom or kitchen.

TRENDING: Black Accent Walls
Soft black walls resonate in the design world because bolder, moodier colors make a dramatic yet sophisticated statement. At once modern and timeless, it creates a stunning backdrop for art and furniture.
A matte finish is best here; dark walls with sheen tend to highlight imperfections in the plaster or sheetrock. Wallpaper is one option for this look; today’s peel and stick papers make it easy to do a wall like this one without worrying about painting over a dark color later.
It’s definitely a bold approach but it’s so elegant, and it’s showing up everywhere, in keeping with the coziness trends we’re seeing in 2024.
TRENDING: Warm, Inviting Kitchens
White is out, wood is in. The trend is toward earthy color palettes and plenty of wood tones (yes, mixing woods is fine!). Simple backsplashes is a kitchen trend that we love; timeless is always a good choice for tile.
Integrated appliances and other European-style elements (range hoods!) are evident while cabinets and appliances continue to innovate with new features to elevate your culinary experience and better support a busy lifestyle.
Time for a new look?
We’ve just barely scratched the surface for 2024, so we’ll be updating our blog with more specific trends throughout the year. Watch for what’s happening in textiles, furniture, paint colors, even doors…coming soon!
Our design team is excited by this year’s outlook. Why not try one of these trends on for size? We can help you with anything from an update to your existing décor or a fresh start, in one room or an entire home!
