Peach, pale blue, caramel, inky blue and others - we tell you which colors you should choose for your interior this year.
Even though we do repairs for years, it is possible and necessary to follow trends. Moreover, trends in interior design do not pass as quickly as in other industries. In addition, you can add a couple of bold, current shades locally: for example, through decor or textiles. And change them at any time. In the article, we tell you which fashionable colors of 2024 are worth paying attention to and how to use them.
Neutral shades
Although there is a basic skeleton of neutral colors ( white, beige, gray, brown), some of their shades can become a real trend. This year, the line of naturalness in design continues.
Sand
If you are tired of classic beige, and white seems too sterile and uncomfortable, the ideal compromise between them is a delicate sand shade. It is light, and airy, yet very warm and enveloping. Suitable for walls and large furniture, for textiles and decor - in general, complete versatility.
You can add as you like:
Another base is for a calm, neutral interior.
Graphic black or dark grey – for contrast and dynamics.
Green, terracotta, deep blue - to create a brighter and more interesting palette.
Caramel
Darker than sand; sweet and viscous, this color as a base is the key to a calming and maximally comfortable interior. It evokes the most pleasant associations, warms, and soothes. And also emphasizes and reveals other shades of beige and brown.
This is a great replacement for classic gray or cold white if you want more warmth. Especially in northern latitudes, where there are few sunny days and it gets dark early. Even in cloudy weather or on a winter morning, a room decorated in caramel shades will look sunny and welcoming. Thus, it will give a good mood and replenish the lack of dopamine.
Wood
Any natural shades of wood were and remain in trend. They do not need to be hidden by repainting furniture fronts or choosing a tinted floor covering. On the contrary, designers suggest emphasizing the natural beauty of the material first and foremost. And depending on the type of wood, not only the pattern changes but also the shade of the wood: from bleached oak to wenge or contrasting zebrano, which will definitely not go unnoticed.
Of course, it is best if the texture is natural. But real wood is not suitable for everyone's budget, and it is not the best material everywhere (for example, in wet areas), so it is permissible to use high-quality alternatives such as veneer and MDF.
Earthy tones
The myth that only light colors are suitable for small rooms has long been debunked. When used correctly, dark shades will not make the space small and cramped, on the contrary, with the help of the box effect, you can expand it. In general, designers, and after them, those who do repairs themselves, are increasingly turning to beautiful deep colors.
Among the base, this is primarily a set of earthy shades: brown, gray-green, brown, almost black, stony, and others. In the interior, they look restrained and are best combined with the texture of natural materials, as well as light natural colors. Suitable for any style, but the undisputed favorites are all versions of classics, loft, and rustic.
Fashionable colors in the interior-2024: warm tones
The general trend now is dopamine design. The surrounding space should be positive, cozy, relaxing, and warm shades are perfect for this.
Peach
Peach Fuzz is a cheerful shade of orange, which the Pantone Institute has declared the main color of 2024 in the interior. The name itself - peach fuzz - speaks of its lightness and softness. Despite the fact that the shade is quite bright, it fits into the framework of the pastel range and does not irritate at all, but, on the contrary, helps to relax. And, of course, to recharge with energy after a hard day.
Surrounded by a gentle orange-pink palette, it is easy to forget about all the troubles, so those who love this palette regardless of fashion trends can safely take Peach Fuzz as a basis. If the color seems too bold, but you want to try it, a great option is a couple of accent pieces of furniture or decor.
Peach goes best with muted green, beige, brown, and any other pastel colors.
Rusty red
Red is an active and bold color, an option that is definitely not for everyone. But this year, it has regained increased interest, and this time, the unusual shade of rust is in the spotlight. Despite the not-very-pleasant associations, the color itself looks very beautiful, it attracts the eye and allows you to place accents.
As an additional element of the palette, it fills the interior with warmth and life, while not overloading the look and not irritating. Due to the brown undertone, it is best combined with this color, as well as with any basic shades. For contrast, you can add olive or deep blue to the palette.
Shades of Sunset
Since the natural direction of design does not lose its relevance, designers continue to look for inspiration in the world around us. For example, this year it will be the natural colors of the sunset - one of the most beautiful natural phenomena that can be observed regularly. The group of current colors can include any shades of red, pink, and orange, which resemble the setting sun. Moreover, they can be used both separately, choosing one, and together, thereby creating a feeling of a warm sunset right at home.
The best complement to such a range will be neutral shades of beige and brown. Of course, white. And if you want to create a complex palette, you can combine "sunset" colors with sky-blue, gray, ash-violet, or berry.
Not doll pink
Barbicor literally captured all the top trends last year, but due to such explosive popularity and widespread use, many have already become bored. Therefore, in 2024, pink is still a relevant color, but with minor adjustments. So, instead of doll-like saturated tones (from the classic Barbie color to fuchsia)its more complex, muted shades will prevail in interiors:
Powdery.
Ash rose.
Antique.
Smoky.
Paradise pink.
Tango.
Cherry.
Both pale pink, almost bleached, and deeper dark variations will be relevant.
Cool tones
This year's list of trendy colors includes many noble shades with a slight coolness.
Pale blue
This year, a soft blue, almost white shade will be seen more and more often. It is chosen as a base along with white and gray, especially since the light color visually expands the space, and the cold undertone enhances this optical effect since the surfaces seem a little further away than they are.
It seems that such a cool color is not suitable for our climate with an eternal lack of sun, but this is not so. If you complement blue with delicate cream or ivory, wood texture, and soft fabrics, you will get a very cozy and at the same time stylish space.
Pale blue is relevant in almost all styles but looks especially good in neoclassicism, eclecticism, Scandi, and soft minimalism.
Inky blue
Although many people consider blue to be overly depressing and sometimes anxiety-provoking, in reasonable quantities it does not have any negative effects.
Designers love this color, and we will see it often in interiors in 2024. The current shade is a thick, saturated blue, reminiscent of ink in a pen. It feels good in a variety of combinations and will be a great accent if you want to add depth to the space, make it more elegant, but do without too bright colors. It is especially well revealed on matte textures.
Cold matcha
Japanese green tea has long since turned from a curiosity into a popular drink on par with latte, cappuccino, or traditional tea. Now it is expanding its boundaries of influence, and if you are looking for a fashionable color in 2024 to choose for your interior, then this is one of the most relevant options. The matcha shade is predicted to be popular by one of the leading trend analyst companies WGSN.
The color is a pastel version of green with a subtle gray undertone - it tips the scales from warm to cold. Matcha looks very noble and refreshing, visually it is very reminiscent of mint, but with a smaller share of blue. It looks good on walls and large furniture, as well as small point accents. It can be combined with any cold colors, gray, white, black, beige, and brown.
Forest green
Another trendy shade of green, also in a cold range. It is called differently: forest, coniferous, fern. Deep dark green with a blue undertone looks luxurious and calming at the same time, it is bright, but not flashy, so it can play different roles in the palette. For example, you can paint an accent wall in a forest shade, choose large furniture in this tone, or add indoor plants with large leaves to the interior.
Designers suggest complementing this green variant with other natural tones, as well as cold colors: blue, and purple. For more contrasting combinations, shades of red and orange are suitable.
