Timeless Elegance
Navigating Interior Design Trends in 2024
As we step into 2024, the world of interior design is evolving, bidding adieu to some trends that have had their moment in the spotlight. At Rowan Hall Interiors, we believe in creating spaces that stand the test of time. Our approach centers on establishing a classic and timeless foundation, allowing for the infusion of trendy elements in areas that can gracefully transition with evolving styles.
With Alfie gearing up for High Point Market this week, let’s explore the 2024 interior design trends that are making way for the enduring allure of timeless elegance.
Out with the Old: Interior Trends Taking a Backseat
1. Overly Industrial Vibes
The overall theme of shifting trends is towards warmth and comfort and away from anything that feels cold and sterile. Therefore, the starkness of industrial design is softening its presence in 2024.
While exposed brick and metal accents have been popular, we’re witnessing a shift towards warmer textures and more inviting materials. Industrial design still has its place, but you might notice a warmth to the design choices that make a huge difference.
While we enjoyed the cool, modern feel of the industrial aesthetic, the Rowan Hall crew loves to make a space feel cozy. Our Knoxville interior design team is excited to embrace a change!
2. Monochromatic Everything
Similarly, the era of strictly monochromatic spaces is gently fading. Though we love a cohesive space, everything doesn’t need to be too matchy-matchy. In our opinion, this was less of a trend and more of a design faux pas! Often, DIY designers build a space around a certain shade and it ends up looking one-dimensional and poorly designed.
Coordinated variety creates more stimulating, effortless looking spaces where nothing introduced in the everyday shuffle of living, such as kids’ toys or textbooks, sticks out like a sore thumb. Embracing a broader color palette also allows for more creativity and personalization. Rowan Hall Interiors encourages clients to explore hues that resonate with their individual style, creating spaces that feel uniquely theirs.
If you’re struggling to find a palette and design style that works for your home, maybe it’s time to call in the professionals! Our Knoxville interior designers can help take your home to the next level.
3. Fast Furniture
In our opinion as professional interior designers, we say it’s always a good idea to invest in pieces that will last through the decades. Disposable furniture that prioritizes trends over durability is seeing a decline, and the Rowan Hall team isn’t mad about that! Not only are pieces that end up decorating landfills detrimental to the environment, they end up costing more to replace over time than better made alternatives. Buy nice or buy twice, as we say! At Rowan Hall, we champion the idea of investing in quality, timeless pieces that not only withstand the test of time but also contribute to sustainable living.
4. Statement Walls
While accent walls had their moment, the trend of creating bold, standalone statements on walls is making way for more holistic approaches to color and texture. We guide our clients towards timeless wall treatments that complement the overall design. We love wallpaper, molding details, and bold paint colors as much as any interior designer. However, we appreciate these accents in a cohesive way that doesn’t break up a design for a clunky statement.
5. Minimalism to the Extreme
Maximalism is back! The extreme minimalist trend is softening, making room for a more curated and meaningful approach to decor. At Rowan Hall, we believe in decluttering while preserving personal touches that add character and warmth to a space. As lovers of fabulous custom window treatments, bold wallpaper, and all the little decor accents that make a space feel homey, we’re definitely ready to embrace this shifting trend!
The Rowan Hall Approach: Crafting Timeless Foundations
At Rowan Hall Interiors, our commitment to timeless elegance is unwavering. We understand that while trends come and go, a classic foundation ensures your space remains relevant and captivating for years to come. Our interior designers prioritize pieces that will stand the test of time as trends change.
1. Classic Palette as the Canvas
When our East Tennessee interior design clients want color but are afraid to take the leap, we like to ease them in with a neutral base. We start with a classic palette that forms the canvas of your home. Neutral tones and timeless color schemes create a backdrop that effortlessly adapts to evolving design sensibilities.
Then, accents like window treatments, throw pillows, artwork and accessories bring the punch. These things can be easily transitioned throughout seasons and years as our clients’ desires change. Luckily, we always pick up the phone when our previous clients call and love working with them again!
2. Quality Over Quantity
Our emphasis on quality over quantity extends to furnishings. We guide our clients towards investments in pieces that not only reflect their personal style but also promise longevity, becoming cherished elements of their homes.
At Rowan Hall, we value relationships with our clients and desire to get to know their lifestyles before designing anything for their homes. This way, we can understand what pieces are worth the investment. We factor kids, pets, habits and so much more into how we design their spaces.
3. Transitional Accessories
Of course, we’re not opposed to the occasional design trend. We go to Market to find out the direction of design and what “the new thing” will be each season. Sometimes it’s fun to incorporate fresh pieces that make a space feel current.
Recognizing the evolving nature of design trends, we strategically incorporate trendy accessories in areas that can be easily updated. This ensures your space stays fresh without requiring a complete overhaul.
4. Personalized Touches
While trends may be in one day and out the next, personal touches endure. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique preferences, infusing spaces with elements that resonate with their individual stories. Styles may come and go, but a space that reflects your unique taste will always feel like you!
We love to bring our clients’ personalities to a space, which is why it’s so important that we get to know you! Whether it’s a teenage girl’s bedroom that will be her safe haven or the fun family room where everyone will gather, we want our clients to feel like their home is their own.
5. Sustainable Design
Rowan Hall is committed to sustainable design practices. We believe in creating spaces that not only stand the test of time aesthetically but also contribute to a sustainable and environmentally conscious future. We support small and local businesses and encourage our clients to invest in timeless pieces that are well made by companies we trust. We fill our clients’ homes with a million puzzle pieces that we know will withstand every bit of life that will be lived within their four walls.
This year, let Rowan Hall Interiors guide you in creating a home that transcends trends, embodying the enduring charm of timeless elegance. Your space is not just a reflection of current styles; it’s a testament to your style—timeless, classic, and uniquely yours.
