The landscape of home décor is ever-changing, with trends shifting and evolving. Keeping pace with what’s in vogue and what’s falling out of favour can prove to be quite a task. Although certain design elements such as vintage furniture and marble finishes endure the test of time, the current trends may soon give way to new ones.

If you’re considering a makeover for your living room, a refresh for your bedroom, or simply seeking to breathe new life into your kitchen, we’ve got some suggestions on interior designers and home décor trends that you might want to consider leaving behind.

All-White Everything

The trend of vibrant colours is making a strong statement, while moody vibes remain widely favoured. All-white or all-grey rooms have lost their appeal this season. 

However, don’t become too attached to moody tones as they tend to be fleeting trends. After being popular for several years, there seems to be a shift towards embracing warm neutrals and abundant wood tones once again. It’s essential to stay informed about colour trends, especially in the realm of home decor. This season emphasizes natural materials, pastel colour schemes, and organic patterns. Moreover, the warmer, cosier, vintage-inspired English Cottage style is on the decline.

Yes, Kim Kardashian’s all-white house was quite iconic, but it seems that the trend has shifted away from that style. Given her influence and penchant for staying ahead of trends, it would be interesting to see how she incorporates the latest design trends of 2024 into her home. Perhaps embracing warmer neutrals, natural materials, and incorporating pastel color palettes and organic prints could give her home a fresh, updated look in line with the current design aesthetic.

Open Kitchen Shelves

There exists considerable ambivalence surrounding the concept of open kitchen shelving. The trend of kitchens devoid of upper cabinets or shelves has gained popularity over recent years. While open shelves have been a longstanding feature, practicality concerns have emerged. Over time, they become challenging to maintain, appearing cluttered and accumulating dust. This issue extends to bathroom open shelving as well.

Regarding the no-upper cabinet or shelves trend, one may question the logistics of storage. This approach appears impractical for the average-sized kitchen. While shelves have enjoyed their moment in the trend spotlight, their eventual decline seems inevitable. Open shelving lacks the timeless appeal of classics, hinting at their eventual departure from the design scene.

Biomorphic Furniture

The infatuation with curvy and pliable furnishings has faded, yet bouclé chairs continue to enjoy their time in the spotlight.

It’s remarkable how quickly design trends shift, with animal prints yielding to biomorphic forms in interior design. This underscores the fickleness of design preferences. Indeed, biomorphic furniture finds its place in ultra-modern or mid-century modern designer homes, as well as in museum collections.

Matching Furniture Sets

As designers adopt a more eclectic approach to space styling, the necessity for matching furniture sets has diminished. Retailers are gradually removing them from their digital catalogues. Experts suggest incorporating unique vintage or antique pieces alongside contemporary fabrics to enhance visual interest in the design. Eclectic art and furniture are currently in vogue. Therefore, if your furniture is entirely matching, consider retaining some pieces while introducing new elements to align with current trends.

Recessed Cane Lighting

If your living space still features recessed can lights, it’s advisable to consider updating them promptly. While styling a space, the significance of lighting in shaping its ambience is often overlooked.

Recessed can lights, typically installed in ceilings for a minimalist overhead lighting solution, are now being reconsidered by designers. According to Rideau, designers are shifting towards decorative lights or sconces, transforming lighting into a focal point of its own. Additionally, sconces offer versatility, seamlessly integrating with various design styles, ranging from contemporary to modern.

Granite Countertops

In the early 2000s, granite was ubiquitous, adorning bathrooms and kitchens alike. Despite its reputation for neutrality and timelessness, granite countertops are now being overshadowed by natural quartzite counters. Our primary recommendation is to integrate matching splashes to enhance the room’s cohesion.
