Every year there are interesting tends in architecture and interior design. We want to look at the ones that could dominate home renovations in 2024. You could use these ideas to improve your home and save yourself a move. Many of them are options for DIY too if you want to save money.

Wood kitchen cabinets

For the last few years many people have been opting for white or colourful cabinets for their kitchens rather than traditional wood finishes. You can still see them on all kinds of adverts for kitchen renovations. However, in 2024 natural wood grain finishes are likely to be back in the spotlight. People are favouring the warmer, organic tones of woods or the richness of stains.

Old money

The biggest trend in design is the old money aesthetic. It is all over social media, influencing clothing choices, jewellery, and interior design. Because of it, things like marble accents, porcelain, and moulding are immensely popular. They will likely be a mainstay of renovations in 2024.

Custom built-in shelving

Storage is something we always seem to be lacking in our homes, including with residential architecture. It can leave people looking at all kinds of different solutions. One that is sure to be popular with renovations in 2024 is custom built-in shelving. You can order pieces that perfectly fit your property. Or, you can DIY it and choose things like IKEA shelves but change the doors to get an unique look. An interesting idea is to paint the cabinets the same colour as the walls to get a dramatic look.

Colourful tiles

While natural colours for things like cabinets and furniture are becoming more popular, tiling has gone the other way. The trend will be for bold colours for walls and floors. They can be great in various locations, including kitchens and bathrooms. Even just a small section of splashbacks can add a lot of character to a room.

Decorating walls

Wallpaper has had a great resurgence in the last few years with more people choosing it to enhance rooms. It will continue to be popular in 2024. However, there is also an interesting way to use it to add borders around rooms, doors, and windows. This can contrast to the other wall covering. Murals have also become increasingly popular, whether it is paint or peel-and-stick ones.
