Remember the moment you first saw Kate Winslet's character Iris' charming Surrey villa in the movie? holiday?How about when you feel warm and cozy and want to go there? Well, it's time to incorporate the feel of the peaceful English countryside into your home and interiors. With inspiration and products from all the interiors accounts and brands around the world, it's easier than ever.
The atmosphere of the interior trends of 2024 is a combination of tradition, sustainability and cosiness. In recent years, sourcing vintage and antique materials, accents, and furniture has become more necessary than ever, primarily due to inventory shortages and shipping delays. Coastal Grandmother and Cottagecore have also skyrocketed as top trends on TikTok in recent years. All of this pays homage to his one thing: traditional English decor.
Expect to see more wood paneling, intricate floral wallcoverings and fabrics, muted earth tones, and luxuriously textured materials, as seen in recent projects from dozens of top designers from around the country. It has been. We spoke to experts at San Francisco-based designer Caitlin Fleming about her favorite trends that are likely to be here for a while.
And we'll answer the questions you probably have about wood in general, including furniture, cabinets, flooring, and more. Yes, the classic dark and medium finishes are back after the long reign of natural white oak. For the past 10 years. Here are my predictions for 10 interior trends that won't go in one direction in 2024.
All about All Green
Green is everywhere: green cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom, green walls, wood trim, accent furniture. We recommend sticking to muted, earthy tones such as grays and beiges rather than saturated or pastel options. Check out some of our favorites below.
medium wood and dark wood
If you've built a home or refinished your wood floors in the past five years, you probably chose the look of white oak or a similar engineered material. Medium to dark wood floors never went out of style, but they are coming back in a big way. The rich, classic look anchors the room and beautifully sets the stage for the furniture you plan to place above it.
Hint: If you own or are considering buying a home with cherry red floors from the '90s and 2000s (which was popular at the time), choose a dark refinish to hide the red hue. is recommended.
rattan
Rattan used to be reserved for beach houses and boho homes, but in the last few years it has gone mainstream. Designers of all different home decor styles are incorporating wicker into almost every room, from accent benches and stools in living areas to counter stools in kitchens.

Antique, vintage and other used furniture
In recent years, shipping delays, labor and material shortages, and logistical challenges have wreaked havoc on designers' schedules. Designers and homeowners have gotten creative and increasingly relied on sourcing readily available materials in the form of antique and vintage items. Fleming has been a master of antique sourcing and design since the beginning of his career. “I've always loved combining antiques and modern furniture in the homes I design. It gives soul to the space,” she said.
Hint: If your mom job leaves you with little time to browse antique shops and flea markets, get familiar with Facebook Marketplace. It's a treasure trove of beautiful antiques and gently used items, often sold at great prices.
flower print
Floral wallpapers and fabrics have become increasingly popular in recent years, but 2024 designs embrace the sense that more is more. Layer pattern upon pattern. Expect to see small block prints inspired by prairie on walls, window treatments, furniture, accents, and more.
“I became drawn to layering patterns in a room to create patterns,” Fleming said. “The key is to mix up the scale of your patterns as well. A combination of large and small patterns is my favorite, whether it's on a wall or on fabric.”

warm earth colors
I'm always a believer in investing in neutral furniture as the basis for a room's design, and I love all the earthy tones I see in online shops and designers' Instagram feeds. Marigolds, moss, stones, plush velvet soot, and textured linens decorate sofas, headboards, chairs, and more. It's like bringing the hills of the English countryside into your home.
bouclé
I thought boucle was just a blip in the world of interior design trends, but I was proven wrong. Bouclé has established itself as a timeless classic textile like velvet and linen. Even if your style is a little more classic, just about any room will look great with a few Bouclé pieces here and there. Don't you believe us? Check the example below.

painted trim and ceiling
I've loved this look for a few years now and am excited to see it popping up in more and more home renovations on social media. White ceilings and trim are classic and reliable, but the tone-on-tone look you get by painting the trim and ceiling along with the walls creates a cozy and dramatic statement for the simple cost of a can of paint. produce.
Hint: We recommend combining this trend with the aforementioned floral wallpaper treatment for a truly custom designed look.
cone lampshade
When I first saw conical shades popping up a few years ago, my brain went crazy. It reminded me of the lamps of my childhood in the 80's and his 90's. It's a style from a long time ago. But I also really liked it. I took the leap of faith and ordered an oversized lamp that made a clear statement. My Instagram inbox was immediately flooded with questions asking where to find it.
Since then, we've seen everyone from Target to Etsy to high-end retailers sell lamps with conical shades, replacing the drum shades that have been popular for the past two decades. Designers can go a step further and customize with patterned fabrics, and you can also find sellers on Etsy who will do just that.
“People often don't realize how important a good lampshade is to good design,” Fleming says. “I love using patterns on lampshades. It softens the room and adds the perfect amount of light.”

Personally, I'm excited to see timeless classics making their way back into homes, giving homeowners the peace of mind that their decisions won't become “outdated” anytime soon. .
