New year has arrived and with it come new decorating trends and if you are thinking about renovating your home, then it's the right time to start making plans.

The focus for 2024 is to maintain the balance between beautiful and captivating spaces without losing their functional and sustainable side, closely linked to nature and environmental preservation.

In this article we will highlight the 6 main trends:

1.Pastel colors and earthy tones

This color palette clearly reveals the strong connection with nature and it is no coincidence that Pantone chose “Peach Fuzz” as the color of 2024, as the orange tones are the perfect complement to that palette.

You can introduce these tones in small

details in decoration, furniture, fabrics or even ceramics.

2.Sustainable minimalism and natural textures

Fulfilling the maxim “less is more”, the choice of objects and furniture is much more careful, as the key is sustainability achieved through recycled materials with low environmental impact.

We can highlight wood, glass, stone, natural fibers and indoor plants that will create more serene environments and promote physical and mental well-being.

3.Japandi Decor

Fusion between Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian design, a combination of Scandinavian simplicity and functionality with Japanese zen aesthetics.

Spaces that follow this trend are characterized by simple furniture with balanced volumetric proportions, neutral tones, light wood and natural elements.
