2024 is now well underway, and with it, some new interior design trends are coming into play! We spoke to Michelle Gomberg of Michelle Pauline Interiors to hear about what the new year is bringing in terms of home design. “This year is a unique year in the sense that so many different styles have come into play,” she said. “It seems to be a more flexible year.”
Round Forms
“Some of the things that we’re leaning towards are round forms. The space you have and the layout of the room affect how round you can go. If we can do it really big, it’s a fantastic look! If we can’t, we play with the round form with a round arm, a round cocktail table. We can even do a round rug to complement all of the other elements within the space. There are so many different things that you can do with a round form!”
Natural Materials
“Natural materials and texture are big trends this year. It’s an artisan’s dream to have the terracotta, the natural stone, the travertine. You feel the roughness and the texture. It feels very warm, and it really brings the room in. People really are loving things like the wow factor of the veining within marble. A lot of the stone now has a lot of high contrast and it’s absolutely stunning. It’s been popular for over a year now, but it’s still in and people are still loving it.“
Bold Colors and Patterns
“2024 also lends itself to color, pattern, and boldness. Things used to be very light and neutral. Now we’re seeing the other end of the spectrum, which is a little more bold and wild. When you blend the two together, you can create something truly special. Some of my clients have requested murals! Many of the wallpaper companies now are creating mural-like wall coverings. A lot of these bold choices are making for stunning appearances.”
With so many trends to play with, 2024 is sure to be a great year for interior design! You can see more of Michelle Gomberg’s work by visiting her website, michellepaulineinteriors.com.
