Trends we’re seeing in the home industry in 2024
September 2024
Not all design trends are tied to the Color of the Year or the latest design style. There are many other emerging attention-worthy shifts in design.
For example, we are noticing more movement towards cozy spaces, curved upholstery and furniture, and more historical influenced pieces. Let’s take a closer look at the unique interior design industry trends that we’re seeing right now...
Trend #1: High Interest Rates Mean People are Staying put
Interest rates and the cost of living have reached an all time high, prompting people to opt for staying in their existing residences rather than relocating. Many are rethinking their current homes and there has been a noticeable increase in people wanting to make an investment in renovations or redecorating. Reworking your current home by adding value with a kitchen remodel or simply changes the paint furnishings and decor can transform how their homes look, feel & function. It can feel like a new home without the moving boxes.

Trend #2:
More Homeowners are Investing in Design Planning
More than ever home owners are spending more time and money in the design phase before starting construction and purchasing. Whether they are choosing to start right away or phase out the project, this approach has its advantages. By having a budget, design elements selected and a solid plan from the start, the process will be more streamlined and leave less room for mistakes. A cohesive vision helps create confidence that the final result will give you peace of mind in the process, achieve the home you always wanted an be money well spent.
Trend #3: Technology is Changing the Way We Design Homes
New technology like 3D rendering software, walkable floor plans and virtual tours are becoming part of the design process. These tools allow designers to create exciting visuals for clients during the planning phase and allow people to see and feel the actual spaces in virtual reality. Now more than ever, designers can create realistic visuals to communicate actual materials or how a kitchen will be layout will feel and function. It’s the closest an interior designer can get to having a magic wand!
