As we round the corner into autumn, we're taking a minute to enjoy four of the leading home decor trends of 2024. From the uptick of natural elements and earth tones to the huge embracing of texture, the design pros here at Third & Main are unpacking what's in (after covering what's out last week!) and sharing tips to help you keep your home's decor fresh and on trend.
Bringing Nature In
There's something deeply grounding about natural elements—think stone, quartz, wood, alabaster—and nature-inspired colors. Whether your personal style veers contemporary or modern farmhouse, the nature-inspired design trend works beautifully and adds a calming vibe. You'll see the movement trending in the design world right now, with hardwood flooring and stone countertops taking center stage, and the offshoot home decor trend falls right in line.
Texture, Texture, Texture
Texture is an incredibly versatile style element and there are a million ways to make it work for you. We tend to focus on fabrics, because they are so many options (linen! boucle! pleats! waffle weave!), but you can add texture in so many ways, from painted artwork to layered pieces. Don't be afraid to mix and match here. Texture adds contrast and interest, but if you're nervous about going too bold, just keep the color palette similar.
Embracing Jewel Tones
This can be intimidating to a lot of people—jewel tones are rich and impossible to ignore! But dramatic shades like plum, emerald green and mauve can be used sparingly to bring in the drama, and incorporating them with decor pieces means you can embrace the trend without a full-on commitment. In other words, there's no need to paint the entire room, just use a throw or some pillows, a rug or some artwork. Florals in these deeper, richer tones are a simple, seasonally on-point way to get in on the jewel trend too.
Quiet Luxury
The quiet luxury trend is all about ivories, whites, creams, taupes, beiges, all the neutrals we know and love, but they're balanced with layered texture. Pair it with clean lines and a less-is-more approach, and you've nailed it! It sounds expensive, but the trick is mixing in a few splurge-worthy pieces that elevate the entire space. You really don't have to spend a bundle to embrace the quiet luxury trend, which is above all tranquil, upscale yet inviting. Marbles, ceramics and even crystal are all staples if you're interested in exploring this trend.
