2024 Home Remodeling Trends
Interior design is ever-evolving, and style trends don’t start and end with the calendar year. However, we have observed a few design trends that we believe will pick up speed in the coming months. This coming year we’re shedding the mass-produced, cookie-cutter interior. This year is all about embracing authenticity and quality. In 2024, homeowners are looking for even more ways to infuse their personality and lifestyles into their living spaces. Here are the 5 remodeling trends we think we’ll see more of in 2024: color drenching, biophilic design, prioritizing longevity, cozier interiors, and embracing imperfection.
Color Drenching: Infusing Vibrancy Into Spaces
In 2024, interior design is stepping into a world of boldness through color drenching. Color drenching is when the walls, ceiling, trim, and door are all painted the same hue to create a more immersive environment. While we predict that light and airy hues like pinks and blues will pick up popularity, bold greens and deep grays aren’t going anywhere any time soon. From neutral schemes to bold hues, color drenching allows for personal expression, and adds a dynamic touch to interiors.

Biophilic Design: Bringing the Outdoors into Focus
Biophilic design revolves around reconnecting with nature within interior spaces. Inspired by the natural world, this approach integrates organic elements such as plants, natural light, and raw materials into interior design.
While it's nothing new, the way in which biophilic design is implemented is evolving. Biophilic design has moved beyond houseplants and living walls. Today, we are seeing more clients choose large windows, and paneless sliding glass doors with the aim to make the home’s exterior the focal point of the interior. This results in a seamless transition between the home’s interior and exterior living spaces.
Quality over Quantity: Prioritizing Longevity
2024 marks a shift towards prioritizing quality over quantity in furniture, cabinets, and upholstery. With housing prices and inflation on the rise, homeowners are choosing to spend their money on well-made, custom pieces that offer better quality and longevity than many mass-produced, flat-pack pieces.
Likewise, performance fabrics and high-end upholstery are becoming even more popular for their ability to resist wear and tear.
At Ashmore Builders, our cabinetry is designed, assembled, and installed by our own team to ensure that clients are getting a top-quality, custom product. Our cabinets not only optimize our clients’ homes, they also hold up to years of daily use, and their timeless profile lasts through cycles of changing trends.
Discerning consumers are veering away from mass-produced items, and investing in furniture and cabinetry that will provide longevity. This trend aligns with a growing consciousness toward sustainability, and a desire for timeless elegance in interior spaces.
Less Open Floor Plans: Defining Spaces for Functionality
While open floor plans aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, more homeowners are choosing to renovate smaller spaces for a bigger impact in terms of both functionality and design.
As more and more people are working and learning from home, homeowners are tasked with getting the most uses possible out of their square footage. From home offices to home gyms, and everything in between, homeowners are remodeling to cater to specific activities like work, relaxation, or entertaining. This allows for more privacy while maintaining an interconnected flow within the home.
The cozier spaces give homeowners more freedom to try different color schemes (color drenching) and larger windows to let in natural light (biophilic design). A less open floor plan encourages purposeful design, ensuring that every space serves its intended function efficiently.
Embracing Imperfection: Handcrafted Elements
Imperfection takes center stage in 2024 as interior design leans towards handmade tiles, brick pavers, and other imperfect elements. These unique and irregular features inject character and warmth into spaces, deviating from the minimalistic perfection often associated with modern interiors.
Handcrafted tiles with slight variations in shape or color and rustic brick pavers bring a sense of authenticity, telling a story of craftsmanship and embracing the beauty of irregularity. This trend celebrates the human touch, and adds a soulful charm to homes.
In conclusion, 2024 is a year where interior design celebrates authenticity, nature, and individuality. From vibrant color palettes to a renewed emphasis on quality and craftsmanship, these trends reflect a desire for spaces that not only look beautiful, but also enhance well-being and functionality. Embracing imperfection and reconnecting with nature, these trends invite us to create homes that resonate with personal stories and bring joy and comfort to our lives.
