Social media trends have become an important resource for interior designers. It only takes a single hashtag or viral video to entirely change the landscape of what is popular and what may fall out of fashion. As such, influences and platforms are now at the forefront of home design, with residents and industry professionals keeping their eyes keenly on developing trends.
This year, and in the wake of a new generation of homeowners, Instagram is seeing a number of major interior design trends fight for the top spot in popularity. If you have been considering a renovation or simply want to stay ahead of the aesthetic curve, then here are seven of the most popular trends currently taking over interior design Instagram.
All In Ones
The phrase all in ones is commonly used to describe mono-designs, also known as mono-rooms. These are interior living spaces that maximise the use of one colour, design, or texture. Designs will embrace a certain style and apply it to furniture, walls, and decor alike, creating a space that amplifies a single visual style.
Creative Tiling
Tiles are leaving bathroom and kitchen spaces, appearing more often elsewhere in the home. From subway tiles to terrazzo flecks, these textured surfaces are being used to decorate living spaces as part of a statement display, such as a fireplace, creating a visual area that draws attention and elevates the depth of a space.
Biophilia
The love of nature is being welcomed indoors, with residents embracing the organic curves and colours of the wild to move away from the harsh and inorganic designs of urban styling. Along with these floral and earthen palettes, assets like conservatories and summer houses are seeing a return too.
Local Artisans
A home with unique design is a beautiful thing, especially if the furniture and decor is created by a local designer or artisan. These signature creatures not only benefit a living space by being designed specifically for the arrangement but also by telling a story of the local community.
Dark Wood
Finally, influencers and designers are stepping away from the ubiquity of light woods, replacing them with dark alternatives. Antique dealers have long held onto their dark wood furniture knowing that, at a certain point, demand would return for these handsome and heavy designs, and are now seeing the gamble pay off.
Marble
Along with a resurgence of so-called quiet luxury designs, marble is making a return. This traditionally cumbersome and costly material, recent drops in price have turned interior designers on to once again embrace the textures and robust style as both a countertop material and accessory to decor.
Yellow Design
The colour of 2024 is set to be a shade of yellow with many now turning to embrace the historically controversial colour. While it is challenging to get a shade of yellow that feels cosy, the realms of mustards are now adorning homes and adding a vibrance to the space. Along with the popularity of peach from the year prior, it seems that the spectrum of bolder and brighter tones are here to stay.
