Innkeeping with your last blog, today we are steering away from kitchens and bathrooms and looking at all aspects of Interiors! As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with the latest interior design trends of 2024. At Morpeth Kitchens and Interiors, we’re excited to share the hottest trends that will make your home stylish and welcoming without breaking the bank. Here are the top trends to look out for and budget-friendly tips to get your home summer-ready:
1. Biophilic Design
Bringing the outdoors in is a major trend this year. Incorporate natural elements like plants, wood, and stone to create a serene and refreshing environment. You can easily achieve this by adding potted plants, using wooden accessories, or incorporating natural textures in your decor.
2. Colorful Palettes
2024 is all about vibrant colors. Think bold blues, warm terracottas, and sunny yellows. You donβt need to repaint your entire home to embrace this trend. Start small by adding colorful throw pillows, rugs, or artwork to brighten up your space. Even the most common UK homeware stores have started to adopt this trend and you can pick up some beautiful pieces for less than the cost of a takeaway!!
3. Sustainable and Recycled Materials
Eco-friendly design is more important than ever. Opt for furniture and decor made from recycled or sustainable materials. Thrift stores, flea markets, and online marketplaces are great places to find unique, budget-friendly pieces that are both stylish and environmentally friendly. This also aids in making your space more YOU. We always say to embrace your character and reflect this within your home. Second hand art, sculptures and pre-loved furniture can make a HUGE statement, again β without breaking the bank!
4. Maximalism
Embrace the βmore is moreβ philosophy with maximalism. Layer patterns, mix textures, and display your favourite collections to create a vibrant and personalised space. This trend allows you to showcase your personality and makes your home feel unique and lived-in. For all that everyone wishes to make their house look like a show-homeβ¦ Realistically, you want your space to feel lived-in and be somewhere you can enjoy without fear of βdoing too muchβ.
5. Smart Home Integration
Integrate smart technology to make your home more efficient and convenient. Smart lighting, thermostats, and voice-activated assistants can be affordable upgrades that add modern functionality to your home. Bonus tip β Amazon Alexa and Google Home are amazing tools that are very affordable to integrate.
