The New Year is just around the corner, and you know what that means? It’s time for a veritable overhaul of our beloved living spaces.

Perhaps you’re thinking overhaul means big-ticket furniture purchases. Not this time! Today, we are focusing our attention on those seemingly small details that can make a big difference – blinds, curtains, and rugs. Without further ado, let’s unfold the top 7 décor trends of 2024 predicted to invade UK homes.

1. Sustainable Fabrics: Back to Nature

You know the saying, “out with the old, in with the new”. That’s what is happening with blinds. We are swapping out synthetic materials for more sustainable options such as recycled PET plastics and bamboo fibres.

Brands such as Villa Nova offer a wide range of fabrics made of reclaimed materials such as recycled polyester and cotton salvaged from the fashion industry. These options don’t just offer a stylish and modern solution, perfect for life in 2024, but also support with ongoing efforts to minimise wastage and recycle materials in a beautiful and functional way

2. Floral Patterns: Let Your Décor Bloom

Spring is synonymous with blossoming flowers, but in 2024, we’ll be welcoming florals into our homes year-round, specifically those with bold use of colour, full of verve such as Le Poeme de Fleurs Fabric – Midnight by Designers Guild are going to be everywhere.

These aren’t your typical, shy, blending-into-the-background florals. They are bold and brazen. Incorporating such vibrant floral-patterned curtains or rugs in your home will undoubtedly lend a riot of colours, uplifting your spirits.

Bright colours are linked to positive emotions, making floral patterns a sure-shot way to bring cheer to your days in 2024.

3. Maximalist Rugs: Make a Statement!

Forget the anthems of minimalism that told you “less is more”. We’re flipping that saying on its head in 2024. We’re saying more is more when it comes to rugs. Bold, audacious, and colourful maximalist rugs are expected to be the top trend.

Choosing a rug will no longer be about neutral colours and no-frills prints. It’s going to be about deliberately picking a centrepiece for your room. Thus if you’re dreaming of transforming your ‘ordinary’ living area into a ‘quite extraordinary’ realm, maximalist rugs such as Sanderson’s Rose and Peony Rug Cerise will take you there.

4. Velvet Curtains: A Touch of Luxury

Velvet is a material synonymous with luxury, and 2024 will see that point emphasised as we begin using more velvets to dress our windows.

Delve into the world of velvet curtains, where these are more than pieces of fabric; they’re statements of opulence. Moreover, velvety curtains offer excellent insulation and block out light efficiently – a win-win functionally and aesthetically. Our exclusive velvet fabrics by renowned designers such as Porter & Stone or Zircon by Prestigious Textiles will help you create the perfect velvet statement you didn’t know you needed.

5. Pastel Curtains: Breathing Softness

As we’re concluding the celebration of flamboyant floral patterns and embarking on the journey to refreshingly soothing decor elements, we must discuss pastel curtains.

Pastel curtains work to bring soft, subtle hues into your living spaces. Think pastels of baby pink, lavender blues, and mint greens. The Nina Campbell collection delivers a fresh breath of air into your interiors. 

6. Textured Blinds: A Bumpy Ride

Done with smooth, shiny blinds is the collective sentiment brewing for 2024. Instead, we’re diving headfirst into the charm of rough textured blinds, with bumps, bobbles and weaved textures seeing far more use in recent months.

This move towards textured blinds isn’t about being anti-smooth but about adding layers of depth to your home. The roughness and inconsistency of these materials lend an unconventional appeal, making your home a place of nuanced character.

7. Geometric Rugs: Embrace Symmetry

While florals make their mark, there is another pattern trend that deserves our attention – geometric patterns. Be it the Zen-like harmony of simple lines or the hypnotic allure of repetitive patterns, geometric designs are sure to lend a look of class to your floors.

People tend to prefer geometric patterns due to their predictability and regularity. Thus, adding a geometric rug to your home from popular designers like Harlequin or Scion can contribute to feelings of stability and set an overall harmonious tone for your living space.

The decor trends of 2024 are shaping up to be an exciting mix of returning to natural elements, embracing technology, and unleashing bold, old trends in new ways. So, gear up for an interior makeover and make the humble blinds, curtains, and rugs the star of your living spaces.
