AVD’S FAVORITE DESIGN TRENDS OF 2024
Almost through 2024, the world of interior design is embracing trends that are both innovative and timeless. At AVD, we’re excited to share our favorite trends and how we’ve incorporated them into our projects, ensuring that every space remains stylish yet enduring. Here are some of the top trends we’re loving this year:
1. BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Indoor Plants & Natural Light: Bringing the outdoors in continues to be a strong trend. We’re incorporating more greenery into our designs, using indoor plants to create a natural, serene atmosphere. Large windows and glass doors are also key, allowing natural light to flood into spaces and enhancing the connection to the outdoors.
2. tEXTURED INTERIORS
In 2024, embracing layered textures has become a hallmark of creating rooms that feel both visually captivating and inviting to the senses. The interplay of materials—velvet’s luxurious softness, leather’s bold durability, and the organic touch of natural fibers—transforms any space into a rich, immersive experience. These combinations strike a balance between elegance and grounded comfort, ideal for spaces meant to feel lived-in and welcoming.
Textured wall finishes like plaster and limewash lend a rustic, aged quality that enhances this layering effect. Their subtle irregularities provide an understated backdrop, adding more polished or refined elements without overpowering them. This approach keeps the design feeling fresh, modern, and rooted in timeless aesthetics, allowing for a look that evolves beautifully over time.
3. warm earthy colors
Earthy tones and soft neutrals are setting the tone for tranquil yet dynamic interiors. Warm shades like terracotta, ochre, and olive green are a refreshing shift from the cooler hues of past years, adding vibrancy without overwhelming. These colors ground spaces, reflecting natural landscapes and evoking a sense of warmth and stability.
Muted neutrals such as beige, cream, and warm gray provide a perfect canvas, balancing the richness of earth tones with a calming, understated effect. This palette is especially effective in creating serene spaces that feel expansive yet intimate. The layering of warm and cool neutrals allows for versatility, offering spaces that adapt beautifully to different styles while maintaining a cohesive, inviting feel. Together, these tones are ideal for fostering a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere that feels both timeless and current.
4. CURVED ORGANIC SHAPES
The trend of curved furniture and architectural arches is redefining interiors with a sense of ease and elegance. Soft, rounded edges in furniture, like curved sofas, rounded armchairs, and circular coffee tables, evoke a feeling of warmth and approachability, encouraging relaxation. These organic shapes, inspired by nature’s curves, create a gentle flow in rooms, making spaces feel more welcoming and harmonious.
Architectural arches further enhance this aesthetic by introducing graceful lines in structural details like doorways, windows, and mirrors. These features soften hard edges and break up straight lines, adding a timeless sophistication. Arches draw the eye and create a focal point, adding dimension and charm. Together, curved furniture and arches bring balance to spaces, fostering a design that feels both modern and grounded in classic beauty.
5. MAximalism with a personalised touch
Maximalism is making a comeback, but this time it’s all about personal style and intentional choices. Instead of crowding rooms with decor, the focus is on carefully selected pieces that tell a story and bring character to the space. Bold, dramatic wallpapers are key to this look, adding visual depth and creating focal points that reflect the homeowner’s personality. With oversized patterns, metallic finishes, or textured materials like grasscloth, today’s wallpapers make the walls feel like art. Each room becomes more than just a space; it’s an experience that feels curated and personal.
The magic lies in layering textures and finishes that add warmth and invite you to look closer. Imagine soft velvets paired with supple leather or silk and patterns that complement without clashing. Statement lighting like vintage sconces or unique chandeliers adds another layer of personality, casting a warm glow that brings everything together. This modern maximalism is less about following rules and more about celebrating what feels right to each homeowner, mixing pieces with meaning and charm to create spaces that feel lived-in and loved.
While we enjoy embracing new trends, our priority is always to create spaces that feel timeless and authentic. By thoughtfully integrating these trends into our designs, we ensure that our projects remain stylish yet enduring, reflecting both current aesthetics and long-term appeal.
