The Weekly Edit

Interior Design trends don’t always intersect, in fact sometimes they can contradict each other which is ultimately very confusing.

Although Vogue writes that 2024 brings trends are more aligned than ever, here are some tips on how to interpret these trends and whether to follow them or not.

1. Your Story

The biggest design mistake one can make is ignoring personal taste in favour of what they believe should be their taste. When design is personalised, it becomes timeless, reflecting the unique preferences and individuality of the homeowner.

This approach ensures that the space remains meaningful and resonant, avoiding the transient nature of fleeting trends. Interiors should tell your story, showcasing how you live and what you love. Our homes ought to be a collection of phases and references that we have fallen in love with over time, creating a rich tapestry of our experiences and passions.

By embracing your personal style, you can create a space that feels authentic and truly yours. For assistance in crafting your unique interior story, get in touch with us today.



2. Lasting Trends

The trend of "fast furniture" is rapidly losing its appeal as clients increasingly seek to invest in timeless pieces that they can cherish forever. There is growing awareness and commitment towards sustainability, with homeowners opting for quality over quantity.

This shift reflects a desire for durability and environmental responsibility, moving away from the disposable mindset that has dominated for too long. Sustainable design is not just a trend but a lasting movement towards creating homes that are both beautiful and ecologically mindful.

Another lasting trend is Biophilic design which emphasises the connection between interior spaces and nature using natural materials, plants and elements that mimic the natural environment to create calming, health promoting spaces.



 3. Quiet Luxury

Quiet luxury is an enduring trend in interior design that emphasises the principle of "buy once, buy right," choosing quality over quantity. This approach involves selecting high-quality, timeless pieces that offer both aesthetic appeal and lasting durability.

By investing in well-crafted furniture and decor, homeowners create spaces that exude elegance and sophistication without the need for frequent updates or replacements. This trend moves away from the fast-paced, disposable nature of mass-produced items, focusing instead on the value of craftsmanship and enduring beauty.

Quiet luxury prioritises materials like solid wood, natural stone, and premium textiles, which age gracefully and retain their charm over time. IF you would like help sourcing these timeless pieces please get in touch here...
