1. Organic Spaces

Rooted in the principle of bringing the outdoors in, this trend emphasizes natural materials, earthy color palettes, and lots of organic textures. When it comes to kitchens, warm woods, like oak & walnut, are taking center stage while natural stone mosaics and artisan tiles make ideal pairings. The idea is to create a connection with nature, while promoting well-being and a tranquil ambiance…ahhhhh, we can just feel the stress melting away! This trend seems to resonate with people because it feels like an escape from our increasingly loud, busy and urban world.

Styling Tips:

  • Choose a calming and earthy color palette inspired by nature, including shades of greens, browns, and muted blues

2. warm-toned Fixtures & Finishes

Brushed brass and gold finishes have been on the rise over the past few years and they are still having a major moment! Whether it’s drawer hardware, shower fixtures, lighting, or decor, we just can’t get enough. Why do we love them? They add a touch of timeless elegance and warmth without feeling too harsh. While brass and gold finishes were once mostly associated with traditional or vintage aesthetics, they’ve undergone a modern revival, and can now be spotted in a huge variety of design styles. We’ve used brass hardware in projects ranging from Spanish, to modern, to coastal and everything in between!

Styling tips:

  • Don’t be afraid to mix metals! In fact, mixing finishes can create a sophisticated and layered look, we love brass and gold paired with matte black!

  • These finishes work great paired with color palettes that include deep reds, rich blues, and earthy greens

  • You can’t go wrong with white & gold

  • Consider upgrading even the smallest details like door handles and hinges

4. Soft Curves

Curves in architecture, furniture and decor were trending last year and in 2024, it continues to be a welcome addition to many spaces. This trend is characterized by the incorporation of gentle, flowing lines that create a sense of warmth, comfort, and harmony within a space. Introducing rounded shapes, like arched vanity mirrors, brings a softness and beautiful juxtaposition against often linear vanities. Arches anywhere seem to provide an air of sophisticated antiquity that we absolutely love, while remaining versatile enough to pair with a variety of design styles.

Styling Tips:

  • To nail this look, and ensure your space feels balanced, implement a healthy mix of rounded and linear objects

  • Even patterns can have a calming effect, for example, flowing lines on a rectangular rug

  • Designing a space for entertaining? Consider a large, curved sofa to create an intimate feel

  • At your dining table, add two curved chairs at the head of the table to break up the rest of the straight-lined furniture

5. Vintage Flair

It might be due to the uptick in period piece TV shows like Bridgerton and The Gilded Age, but for this trend, think American colonial meets English country. The vintage flair design trend dazzles us with its nostalgic charm and timeless appeal. However, this trend doesn’t need to be applied floor to ceiling - no,no,no…in fact, we encourage you to blend these vintage these elements with modern aesthetics to really make your home feel curated and captivating! The goal is to create a fusion of old and new, that results in spaces that are both stylish and evocative.

Styling Tips:

  • Display an antique mirror over your modern mantle

  • Create a gallery wall with a mix of antique frames

  • Embrace antique brass finishes to infuse a bit of old-world charm

  • Incorporate an antique looking dining chairs around your more modern/traditional dining table
