10 Home Design Trends You'll See Everywhere in 2024, From Fluted Cabinets to Herringbone Everything (2024)

9 Home Décor Trends on Their Way Out, According to Design Insiders

Blending Backsplashes

Gone are the days when you have to choose just one backsplash for your kitchen. Instead, break up expanses of tile by incorporating a slab of stone or quartz. Some designers are now installing these material behind the range or cooktop while keeping the surrounding backsplash areas tiled, Houzz reports. The slab is often the same material as the countertops, to tie the look together.

Fluted Cabinets and Details

Expect to see plenty of fluted details in the home this year. According to Houzz, the design has been featured recently everywhere from kitchen islands and bathroom vanities to living room furniture. The detail adds visual texture and interest underneath countertops, dining room tables, and beyond.

Warm Neutrals

We're starting to see a shift away from the cool grays and stark whites that have defined home interiors for years. While neutrals will never go out of style, warmer tones—think beiges, creamy-off whites, and rich browns—are becoming increasingly popular. The inviting shades are meant to create spaces that feel calmer and cozier than their cool counterparts.

Blues in Focus

Next year is all about blue, as evidenced by 2024's color of the year paint predictions. The hue, which provides a calming aesthetic, is expected to be featured prominently in decorative materials and housewares in the coming year, Houzz reports. When choosing a shade, everything from sea-inspired hues to more saturated blues is on trend.

Timeless Style

The age-old adage "the more things change the more they stay the same" is even applicable to home design. According to Houzz' 2023 U.S. Kitchen Trends Report, many homeowners are requesting more traditional details and materials that create a timeless style. Even modern homes are incorporating elements like brick, handmade clay, and rustic wood elements.

Handmade Features

In 2024, lean into home design elements that feel unique to you. Professionals at Houzz say this includes handmade tiles, custom bathroom vanities, and other bespoke elements. To create a space that's reflective of your personal taste, consider incorporating more custom features throughout your home.

Appliance Garages

While appliance garages have been around for decades, they're currently experiences a resurgence in popularity. The design conceals countertops appliances, such as blenders, coffee makers, and toasters, giving your home a more streamlined look without having to give up your everyday gadgets.

Herringbone Everything

Herringbone is a classic design element that is coming back into the limelight—with minor changes. The typically horizontal zigs are beginning to zag diagonally or vertically, according to Houzz. The fresh pattern provides movement and texture to areas like the kitchen and bathroom.

Mud-Laundry Rooms

Get the mudroom you've always dreamed of by combining it with your laundry room. This increasingly popular setup makes it easier to place dirty clothes directly into the wash before tracking dirt into your home. Professionals at Houzz recommend adding mudroom storage components—like cabinets, hooks, and cubbies—to help organize all your cleaning essentials.

Plantings Between Pavers

Pavers have been popular for years, but they're currently being used in a new and beautiful ways. Houzz is seeing increased interested in greenery tucked between pavers, such as garden paths and patios made of pavers separated by ground cover plants. This approach makes for a landscape that feels more natural and lush.
