2024 is shaping to be an exciting year for home renovations, focusing on creating warm, welcoming spaces prioritizing health, sustainability, and function. With rising costs, many homeowners opt to optimize their existing spaces rather than move.
Gone are the days of the all-white and gray industrial look. 2024 is about creating cozy and inviting homes with warm colors, contrasting materials, texture, and natural light. Think reclaimed wood, cork, recycled materials, and earthy tones like terracotta and deep greens and blue being all the rage. Here are a few renovation trends for 2024.
Natural Wood Cabinets
Natural wood cabinets were once a classic style that homeowners rarely chose over the modern, fresh look of white or painted cabinets. But as 2024 dawns, we see a new trend taking over the design industry that calls for a natural wooden look. Classic wood grains, once considered outdated, are now re-focused on for their beauty, and different stains, textures, and finishes give endless possibilities for customization and creation. Smooth, natural, and rich, these cabinets bring a new and unique look to your kitchen and are sure to have a winning impact on the overall aesthetic of your home.
Fluted Wall
Walls are a crucial part of home decoration, and they can either make or break the overall aesthetics of a home. A current trend that is gaining popularity is fluted wall design. Fluted designs can add a sense of depth to any living space. These vertical channels that run up and down a wall help to create a sense of a luxurious, textured surface. It is striking in appearance, with a perfect blend of beauty and sensory appeal.
Adding Color and Tile for Texture
One trend making a comeback is using color and tile for texture. Adding color and texture with tiles to walls, floors, and even ceilings brings life and personality to a space. The trick is to keep it simple and choose colors that complement your furniture, drapes, and rugs. You can also add mosaic tiles to create unique patterns and use different colors to create texture. Adding color and tile to your home can create a stunning, unique living space that reflects your personality.
It’s all about the Blues
The world of blue paint is bursting with color in 2024, offering a diverse palette depending on your desired mood and aesthetic. The 2024 paint colors of the year include Benjamin Moore’s bright “Blue Nova,” Valspar’s “Renew Blue,” and Sherwin-Williams’s “Upward.” The interplay of light with different blue shades can dramatically alter their feel. Experiment with warm and cool lighting to find the perfect ambiance.
Appliance Garage
Homeowners take pride in having an organized and functional kitchen, and the appliance garage is taking off. Not only does it hide the clutter of countertop appliances, but it also creates an elegant and seamless look to your kitchen. An appliance garage is a cabinet or shelf installed into or next to the kitchen counter. Everything from a bread maker to a coffee maker is stored here, making preparing and accessing what you need easier. This storage space maximizes limited counters and cabinet space, making your small kitchen feel much bigger. Envision a kitchen where clutter-free countertops are within reach and appliances are always organized.
The Mud Laundry Room
The new trend is the mud laundry room that combines functionality and style designed to accommodate a variety of household activities while providing a comfortable and clean environment. Include key elements such as cabinets for plenty of storage, hooks, cubbies, a utility sink, and a toilet. For families with kids, ensure everything is easily accessible and at a level that works for their height. To liven up the space, consider using colorful tiles or wallpaper.
Weatherproofing Your Home
Summers have become hotter and winters cooler, highlighting the need to weatherproof your home. New windows, roofing, and insulation can significantly protect your investment from the unpredictable climate. Investing in new windows, roofing, and insulation can improve energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling bills, and reduce the impact of the environment on your home. Weatherproofing your home also helps to prevent water intrusion, which is the leading cause of mold growth and property damage.
2024 is set to be a year of exciting and innovative home renovations. With a focus on creating warm, welcoming spaces prioritizing health, sustainability, and outdoor living, homeowners opt to optimize their existing spaces rather than move.
