Interior Design Trends
Open vs closed concept
Is the open-concept trend fading? 🚪 According to House Beautiful's Next Wave designers, it might be! Atlanta-based Jerel Lake prefers closed-concept living: "I love older homes with defined spaces. Doing dishes in the same room as my dining area isn't for me." 🍽️ When comparing open-concept to closed-concept living, note that defined spaces offer character, while separating kitchen and dining areas can enhance intimacy. Conversely, open-concepts foster spaciousness and connectivity, making them ideal for modern living and socializing. It's essential for interior designers to assess their client's preferences, lifestyle, and functional needs to tailor the layout accordingly, ensuring a harmonious design that meets their unique requirements. #openconcept #interiordesigntrends
Is open concept coming to an end?
We're excited to share insights from House Beautiful's Next Wave designers! 🌊 This year, they revealed the design trend they're ready to leave behind, and it's surprising. Nashville-based Brad Ramsey is over open-concept spaces: "I need a break from homes with one large open room. It takes away a lot of the character and intimacy of a home." 🏡 Do you agree with Brad? Is it time to rethink open-concept living? #openconcept #interiordesigntrends #designtrend

Add depth to a design space
When designing a space that initially felt one-toned, Michael incorporated natural stone, distressed leather, rattan accents, jute rugs, and faux-vellum walls to create an intimate gathering area for his clients. The diverse textures add depth and interest, transforming the entire home. #interiordesignideas #interiordesigntrends2024
To Match or Not to Match
Have you ever noticed those interior design spaces that are eclectic and really speak for the person the space is being designed for. Is everything matching or did they pick pieces that truly represent who lives there? Your client is trusting you to curate their space. To pick the pieces that flow but also make a statement. Think outside the box, the possibilities are endless.

Lighting is everything for 2024
We are seeing a lot of interior designers touch on this. One of our new found designer blogs @chrislovesjulia shared on this, “Technically, I talked about interesting lighting in last year’s post, but it’s leaning even more into lighting as art now. Especially in small spaces, go big on the lighting and let it double as art. It makes a statement in a space that needs very little furnishing or wall decor. It can take any space from builder grade to knock out. It’s all about the lighting.” And we couldn’t agree more! 💡 #lightingdesign #lightlovers #roomlights #roomdesign #interiordesignerslife
