Creating multifunctional spaces within homes continues to be commonplace in 2024.  With homes serving as offices, classrooms and sanctuaries, the need for versatile spaces has became more popular. Homeowners continue to seek spaces that can adapt to their daily routines whether it's remote work or family gatherings.

18. A CONTINUATION OF BIOPHILIC DESIGN
The pandemic inspired the desire to get outside of the home and into nature more. 2024 design continues to embrace connecting with nature through biophilic design.  Expect to see plenty of plants, green walls, fountains, nature-inspired colors and rustic textures in this year’s home designs.

19. COLOR DRENCHING a.k.a MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEMES
Monochromatic colors schemes became popular in 2023 and they continue to remain on trend for 2024.  Choosing a "mostly" monochromatic color palette for a space makes helps to focus attention on the “feeling” of a room rather than all of the pieces within it.  To effectively execute this design trend it's important to vary the tints, shades and tones within the chosen color to create interest and depth. The use of “color drenching” remains popular because it creates intentional boldness that is eye-catching and interesting.

20. LESS FOCUS ON OPEN CONCEPT DESIGNS
With more homes needing to serve as offices and study spaces and more entertaining happening at home, distinct zones are becoming more important in interior design. People are done with sharing one big space with everyone to do everything.  They want space to think and focus.  As a result, expect to see new home floorplans that include more defined spaces that cater to various the various activities that are being conducted within a home.  And in homes that already exist, expect to see creative ways to create dedicated spaces within unused or underutilized areas to provide more function overall.
