5 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS WE’RE FALLING FOR THIS YEAR
Can you believe it’s January already? New years mean new starts, and that can be especially exciting when it comes to refreshing your interior design.
 
Maybe this is a chance for you to rethink your interior’s practicality, making plans to accommodate an in-home office or create a cosy nook to sit back and relax in. Perhaps it’s placing a bigger emphasis on the underestimated areas of your home. Think the laundry room, pantry, or hallways.
 
While we see several trends coming in hot in 2024, we’ve rounded up five of our favourites to get this year off to a stylish start.
POLISHED PERFECTION IS OUT, ‘WABI-SABI’ IS IN

A laid-back wabi-sabi interior showcases touch-me textures, organic colours, and minimalistic charm.
‘Wabi-sabi’ is a Japanese term that means finding beauty in imperfection. It leans towards living with humility and simplicity while being at one with nature. And there’s never been a better time to embrace the concept, as more interior aficionados move away from polished perfection to embrace the organic.
 
If ‘wabi-sabi’ sounds like an aesthetic you’d like to explore, you can pull it off by moving away from pulled-together design styles and gleaming surfaces in favour of raw texture and natural materials. Think linen in favour of leather, matte textures in favour of glossy, and reclaimed pine in favour of polished mahogany.
 
Our Goleta sectional sofa, Balanar reclaimed pine coffee table, Agung side table, and Jomoda rug all lend themselves remarkably well to the ‘wabi-sabi’ aesthetic, promising a laid-back look that’s also stylish.
BROWN IS THE NEW BLACK

Shades of brown come through in our Larissa dining table and Ivan dining chairs with brown walls and floor enhancing the look. The end result is sophisticated and calming.
Playing on a 1970s’ colour palette, this year we’ll be seeing more browns in people’s homes and offices. But don’t be alarmed — these browns are not of the boring variety.

Dark brown — think chocolate and mocha — is poised to make an appearance on interior design’s colour wheel this year, alongside shades of light brown and caramel.

One of the best aspects of this new neutral is how versatile it can be, lending itself well to everything from rugs to bed linen, painted cabinetry to artwork. To ensure the browns you use feel varied and interesting, be sure to layer them and pair them with the right colours and textures. Blue hues are a wonderful way to make brown pop, with rust, burnt orange, coral, persimmon, yellow, and copper bringing out browns’ natural warmth.

If you’re looking for gorgeous brown pieces for your home or office, our Madra L dining chair, Ivan dining chair, Avanti three-seater sofa, and Alperen rug are all wonderful choices.
BOUCLÉ IS STICKING AROUND

Our statement Dwayne two-seater sofa boasts an all ivory boucle cover with cushioned backrests and no arms. It’s perfect for a tropical or even modern Africa-inspired interior.
 
The story goes that the very first well-known, boucle-upholstered furniture item came to being in 1948, when architect and furniture designer Florence Knoll asked family friend and up-and-coming design star Eero Saarinen to design a chair that she could curl up in. And so the Womb chair — upholstered in boucle — was born.

Today, boucle — that quietly luxurious fabric — can be found across everything from dining chairs to cushions and sofas. And while boucle’s classic nubby-textured feel is here to stay, we’re also seeing newer versions of it boasting a thicker pile and varying colours.

While we don’t recommend boucle on every single piece of furniture in your living room or bedroom, a few star pieces can enhance your interior design. Our ivory boucle Railay lounge chair and Morakot two-seater sofa are ideal if you’re looking for a more neutral boucle hue, while our Stasia dining chair featuring toasty autumn red boucle is ideal for bringing in a pop of colour.
CURVACEOUSNESS IS COVETED

Our future-forward, grey hued Conrad four-seater sofa boasts unexpected curves in its unique design. This modern sofa looks great alongside neutral colours and natural textures.
 
Curvaceousness is a design trait that’s going to be most coveted this year, from scalloped detailing to organic edges, wood-carved finishings to half-circle patterns.
 
One of the best ways to bring this new design trend into your home or interior is by incorporating curvaceousness into varying elements of your interior design. It could be replacing a rectangular mirror with a round-edged one, opting for upholstery or rugs boasting circular shapes, or bringing in dining chairs or bar stools that boast undulating details in the wood they’re made of.
 
But embracing curvaceousness doesn’t mean ditching every straight line.  If you have a curved dresser and chair, for example, a few pieces of furniture with straight lines will help to complement those items, and vice versa. Remember, successful interior design is a balancing act, with varied textures and shapes making a space more interesting.
 
If you’re looking to bring in a few more round-edged pieces into your home, consider our Ninetta pouf, Deshret coffee table, Voltar dining table, Witori mirror, and Duhamel ring pendant light.
THE HUMAN TOUCH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE POPULAR

Our vibrantly eccentric Rapsody rug has been meticulously hand-tufted by skilled Indian artisans from Rajasthan.
 
People appreciate bespoke pieces and artisanal work featuring the incredible skill of human hands more  than ever before. From hand-carved wooden furniture to hand-woven rugs and handblown glass, the human touch has never been more popular.
 
Fortunately there’s no shortage of gorgeous hand-made furniture and decor in the Middle East and North Africa, While it’s not always practical to have every single item in your home or office be hand crafted, you can easily combine beautiful handmade pieces with mass-manufactured furniture, styling your interior in a way that places emphasis on your most treasured artisanal pieces.
 
We adore our vibrant hand-tufted Rapsody rug and vintage hand-knotted Damali rug, both of which will look stunning alongside our Shayling three-seater sofa. Our Ashley handmade wall art and Olsen handmade wall art meanwhile, will add rich character to the wall of 10 - Five dining or living room, while our Balanar reclaimed pine dining table will perfectly complement our Ivan dining chairs.
