Top Ten Home Renovation Trends for 2024
Are you looking to improve your living space this year and need some fresh ideas? Here’s our list of the top ten trends to look out for in 2024:
1. Warmth
2024 is all about injecting warmth and coziness into your living space. Cool grays and stark whites were popular several years ago, but are no longer the trend. Warmer neutrals like beiges, creamy off-whites and rich browns have been taking their place. This trend is expected to stick around for a while, creating a calmer, more welcoming backdrop for home interiors.
2. Herringbone
This classic pattern is making a comeback. It adds a touch of sophistication and visual interest to everything from flooring, kitchen and bathroom tile, walls, backsplashes, wallpaper and furniture. You can go with the traditional horizontal zig-zag or experiment with diagonal or vertical variations. It will elevate your space with its timeless elegance.
3. Fluted Details
Home designers are gravitating toward ways to add more texture back into the home. One of the most popular ways is through the use of fluted details. This textured detail can be used on kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, wallpaper, tile or living room furniture. Fluted textures can instantly add more visual interest and help bring more charm to a space vs. flat, harsh edges.
4. Backsplashes
Backsplashes make a big kitchen statement. Making the backsplash more of a focal point, designers are installing a slab of stone or quartz behind the range or countertop while keeping the surrounding backsplash in tile. The backsplash usually will match the kitchen countertop and stretch all the way to the ceiling in a vertical focal point.
5. Light
Natural light is a great way to create a bright and airy atmosphere. Maximize windows, incorporate skylights, and choose light-reflecting finishes to bring the outdoors in.
6. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Upgrades
People are ready and willing to make their homes as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible in the year ahead. Reduce your environmental footprint and focus on eco-conscious renovation projects. For example: low-flow fixtures, water-efficient appliances, tankless water heaters and LED lighting.
7. Blue
From all the 2024 Color of the Year predictions, blue is the standout color. Several paint companies have chosen shades of blue as their 2024 Color of the year. Even though warmer tones are taking over the neutrals, Blue is the color to infuse a bold pop of color into your home. Consider painting a blue accent wall in your home for a quick and easy upgrade.
8. Tile and Fixture Details
Sometimes a small detail can make a huge difference! Small details like a tile accent in your backsplash or shower, or an upgrade to your faucet, cabinet hardware or light fixtures in your kitchen or bathroom can really let your personality shine through.
9. Appliance Garage
No matter how beautiful your home is, keeping your space organized and clutter-free can be the difference between an elegant and sleek room and a space that needs an upgrade. Organize your kitchen gadgets in an appliance garage. An appliance garage is a perfect solution for storing your air fryers, blenders, espresso machines and toasters when not in use, so your kitchen can look sleek and elegant.
10. DIY and Personal Touches
More homeowners are embracing handmade features and details for a one-of-a-kind look. Incorporate handmade tiles, vintage finds and family heirlooms. These little details make your home special and will reflect your personality.
Your home is your sanctuary, so make it reflect who you are and what you love. Experiment and embrace the trends that speak to you, personalize your home to create a haven of comfort and joy.
