According to the National Association of Realtors and Forbes these are some trendy design details to add to your home in 2024. Whether you're looking to refresh your home or tackle a renovation, 2024 is the year of making homes more colorful and cozier. Here are 6 design trends to make your house feel like a home.

1. Curved Furniture

In recent years, curved sofas and chairs have been a major trend and will only continue in 2024, according to interior designer Kate Dawson. “Bringing in these unique shapes adds contrast and depth to a space, creating a very modern feeling while still being functional," she explains. While curved seating may be beautiful, it is not always the most practical comfort wise. "So you may want to go for a classic shape for seating but opt for an extra-curvy coffee table or side table."

2. Big Artwork

The gallery wall moment is fading, while big artwork is back, according to Dawson. “More and more people are building homes with two-story spaces. These are the perfect places to have huge pieces of art. But even if you don't have a multi-story room, going with huge artwork is still on trend. It's a great way to add a lot of life to a room without feeling like you're going over the top.”

3. Fluted Cabinets and Details

Fluted details are showing up in kitchen islands to bathroom vanities and living room furniture. Often a thick, rough statement detail, the fluting creates visual texture and interest under bathroom vanities or island countertops.

4. Herringbone Patterns

"Herringbone patterns are staging a comeback. It’s becoming a trendy pattern once again for kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces around the home." (National Association of Realtors) However, the typical horizontal zigs are beginning to change direction to create an updated look with diagonal or vertical lines.

5. Handmade, One-of-a-Kind Accents

"In a growing desire to adopt a timeless style, more homeowners are embracing handmade features and details. This includes handmade tiles, custom bathroom vanities and other elements that make homeowners feel like they have something truly one-of-a-kind. Custom features and personalized elements are showing up throughout home design." (National Association of Realtors) 

6. Bold and Sophisticated Colors

“When it comes to design trends for next year, we're expecting to see a continued commitment to color,” explains Becca Roderick, Design Director of Interiors, Morris Adjmi Architects. Erica Finamore, Real Simple Magazine's Home Director, explained that sophisticated colors will be a major trend this year. “While bright rainbow colors have reigned supreme for the past five-plus years, rooms will likely look a little moodier this year thanks to softened palettes.” What colors should you go for? Finamore is a fan of dusty rose, plum, and burgundy hues. “Lots of those more muted pink-red tones are in fashion and can really elevate a space.”
