It’s time to elevate your space—interior designers predict a brighter future.

Design by Bureau Benjamin

More than just pigments on a canvas, cabinet or wall, colors are powerful tools that can transform and enhance our homes and daily lives. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, colors can have a profound impact on our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. In fact, myriad studies have been able to associate certain colors with human physiological changes like increased blood pressure, metabolism, and eyestrain. Some may call it hogwash, gimmickry, or marketing fluff—but the science behind the effects of color is pretty powerful stuff. 

What does this have to do with interior design? A lot. When thoughtfully incorporated into our living spaces, colors can evoke feelings of calm, energy, warmth, or creativity. For instance, serene blues and soft greens can create a tranquil atmosphere in bedrooms, fostering relaxation and better sleep. On the other hand, vibrant reds or yellows in a kitchen can stimulate appetite and conversation. Having the ability to reflect our personalities, telling your story through colors that speak to you can be a beautiful thing.

From warm neutrals to bold statements, next year promises to be a rainbow of hues and shades that will (re)define our living spaces. Let’s explore the top 6 interior design color trends of 2024 that are set to dominate homes. 

DENIM BLUE

Denim blue is more than just a shade—it's an icon of classic style and casual elegance. Inspired by the rugged durability of denim fabric, this hue embodies reliability, versatility and comfort. Denim blue seamlessly blends into various design aesthetics, from rustic to contemporary, making it a go-to choice for interior decor and fashion alike. Denim blue’s soothing yet confident presence in our lives reminds us of the dependable and enduring qualities that we often seek in an ever-changing, unstable world. Whether accentuating our home decor or our wardrobe, this enduring color remains a favorite go-to, symbolizing both fashion-forward trends, and tradition.

MOSS GREEN

The rich and organic hues of moss green carry a deep significance rooted in our connection with nature. Moss green and other earthy green colors exude a sense of harmony, growth, and renewal, symbolizing the restorative power of the natural world. When used in interior design, earthy greens create a biophilic connection that encourages feelings of calm and healing, a color that brings the indoors in and reminds us to pause, breathe, and appreciate the beauty of our environment. Moss green is often associated with sustainability and eco-consciousness, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. Whether it's the color of leaves, forests, or new beginnings, moss green and other earthy-green colors provide a soothing and grounding presence in our lives, encouraging a deeper connection with the world around us.
