I'm an interior decorator. Here are 9 trends you won't find in my home in 2024.

Scandinavian minimalism, characterized by clean white spaces and blonde wood tones, has been widely popular for nearly a decade.

I find that this style lacks personality, so I favor trends that embrace superfluous decorative elements and bold color choices.

If you still like the look of Scandinavian minimalism, I recommend incorporating pops of color and unique materials to add interest to your space.

Millennial gray is going out of style as more and more decorators tend to favor warmer palettes.

I think pale-pine and bleached-oak flooring will serve as alternatives to neutral and airy finishes.

I recommend leaning toward classic flooring, like mid-tone brown wood, for a versatile home design.

As designers move toward authentic, effortless styles in 2024, I find that the curated look of matching throw pillows doesn't compare to a layered look with patterns and color variations.

Try experimenting with two different sheet designs on your bed or choosing a comforter with coordinating colors and different patterns.

Every element in the room can be used to create a cohesive design.

I find matching wood furniture to be monotonous and uninspired. If you want to create a designer feel and bring in warmth and dimension, incorporate two cohesive woods.

I like creating contrast with wood tones by pairing brown neutral walnut with white oak.

Adding a variety of materials like metal, stone, and glass furnishing will also help balance the space.

Boxy furniture, like couches designed with high backs and straight thin lines, is falling out of favor as curved, organic shapes become more popular.

The boxiness of rigid mid-century-modern designs can look too commercial for a home.

I recommend looking for oversized couches with deep, plump cushions and thicker armrests. Think of a piece of furniture with a plinth base, which is lower to the ground, and subtle curves.

As we trend toward warmer tones, all-white kitchens are declining in popularity.

Fortunately, you don't need to do much to add a pop of warmth and color to your space.

You can add color and patterns to your kitchen by incorporating floor coverings like runners and playing around with wallpaper.

Try using fun dishware, table settings, and dish towels with unique colorways.

Silver and nickel align with cool-gray and white color palettes, an aesthetic I'm staying away from in 2024.

Instead, I'm leaning toward brass and gold fixtures to play on warm color trends in contemporary design.

If you're a more adventurous decorator, try hunting for one-of-a-kind brass or gold items that add warmth and character to your space.

Over the past few years, DIY-ers refreshed dated wood pieces to fit the modern-farmhouse style. However, I've always preferred the look of natural wood.

I find that matte, painted furniture looks dated compared to pieces finished with a high-quality wood stain.

Warm and classic wood tones also align with the more popular grand millennial and mid-century-modern tastes.

In 2024, I'm turning away from the uniformity and mass appeal of subway tile for a more personalized design.

When it comes to a permanent upgrade like tile, it's worth shopping around for something more unique.

Interesting shapes and textures can transform your backsplash into a design feature that embellishes a beautiful bathroom or kitchen.
