Top 4 Interior Design Trends we've seen in 2024

As we dive into the heart of 2024, the world of interior design is full of fresh trends ready to elevate our living spaces. This year, we’re seeing a dynamic blend of style and function that’s perfect for anyone looking to update their home. At Olivia’s, we’re excited to share the top trends that are making waves right now.

Whether you’re aiming for a quick room refresh or a full home makeover, these trends offer something for every taste. From bold colour choices to new materials and timeless design elements, these trends are set to define home decor this year. Explore with us the standout trends that will help you create a space that’s uniquely yours.

1. Earthy Tones and Natural Materials

In 2024, earthy tones and natural materials are making a big comeback. Shades like terracotta, moss green, and rich browns are taking centre stage in colour schemes, creating a soothing and grounded atmosphere. These warm, natural hues help to foster a sense of calm and connection with nature in your home.

To incorporate these colours into your decor, consider pieces like our Liang & Eimil Kara Dining Chair in Morgan Sienna, the cosy Malini Barley Twist Throw in Chocolate, or the Asiatic Carpets Avalon Rug Forest in earthy greens. Each of these items brings a touch of nature and warmth into your living space, aligning perfectly with this year's trend.

2. Multifunctional Spaces

With the increase in remote work and home living, the importance of multifunctional spaces has grown significantly. Designers are now placing a strong emphasis on creating versatile rooms that can seamlessly adapt to various needs throughout the day. This trend is particularly evident in the design of rooms with unique shapes and layouts. To meet these evolving demands, it's essential to consider furniture that offers flexibility and functionality.

Explore our selection of Module Sofas, which are perfect for accommodating diverse requirements. For instance, the Broste Copenhagen Lagoon Chocolate Module Sofa Set and the Tommy Franks Marseille Modular 5 Piece Sofa both offer the ability to be reconfigured for different occasions, ensuring that your living space can transform as needed. Additionally, our Gallery Interiors Rothbury Desk in Bronze provides a stylish and space-saving solution, making it an ideal choice for home offices or study areas.

3. Maximalism and Bold Patterns

This year so far, maximalism has made a bold comeback, celebrating the saying of "more is more." This year’s design trend is all about embracing vivid patterns, rich colours, and an eclectic blend of styles that create a dynamic and visually stimulating environment. Our collection embodies this spirited approach with standout pieces like the Andrew Martin Graffiti Apple Sculpture and the Liang & Eimil Archer Graphic Occasional Chair. These items not only add a touch of drama but also infuse personality and character into any space.

To achieve a cohesive and striking look, consider pairing these statement pieces with complementary accents. For instance, the Archer Chair’s eye-catching print perfectly contrasts yet harmonises with the vibrant energy of the Graffiti Apple Sculpture. Together, they create a curated yet quirky aesthetic that defines the essence of maximalism, making your space both unique and unforgettable.

4. Embracing Pure Minimalism

This year continues the trend of pure minimalism, which was incredibly popular in 2023. The essence of minimalism—capturing the "less is more" philosophy—presents a striking contrast to the maximalist approach and consistently delivers a flawless, refined look. Iconic spaces like Molly Mae Hague's home and Kim Kardashian's famously minimalist interiors showcase the appeal of smooth textures and clean lines, creating environments that are visually and aesthetically pleasing.

However, some people view this style as cold, uninviting, and lacking character. What they often overlook is the potential to incorporate warmth within a minimalist design, without sacrificing its clean and understated aesthetic.

For those looking to embrace minimalism, our Hill Interiors Regola Large Ceramic Vase in Matt White is a popular choice that perfectly complements a minimalist design. If you prefer something with a bit more presence, the Hill Interiors Garda Glazed Large Regola Vase is an excellent option. When it comes to accent chairs, the beauty of minimalism lies in its versatility—minimalist accent chairs can seamlessly blend into any home style, adapting to changing tastes while maintaining their simple elegance. Our Richmond Casey White Furry Chair is the perfect example, striking a balance between character and simplicity, making it an ideal choice for any minimalist space.
