Expected trend for 2024 – dophamine decor
It’s a delicate balance between minimalism and maximalism. The interior should bring only positive emotions, and this can be achieved by following several principles: the space should contain textures that are pleasant to the touch and aesthetically attractive;

You can place family photographs on the walls, select an area for placing memorable souvenirs from trips, or leave association items in a visible place.
Soft minimalism
There is a trend in interior design that calls for abandoning thoughtless consumption, cluttering space and thoughtless purchases. However, now minimalism is taking on softer forms. If previously the use of faceless white, cold metallic color was relevant, now interiors acquire coziness, become more lively and “cozy”. Warm colors are used for the base. For example, beige-brown shades are diluted with brighter terracotta, brick, and orange. It’s easy to enhance the effect by adding textures that are pleasant to the touch to the space, as well as avoiding sharp corners as much as possible. Soft minimalism can be combined with other colors. It will be interesting to add classical elements, boho, scandi or country.
Wabi Sabi
Many people, when the term “wabi-sabi” is mentioned, imagine something from the world of Japanese cooking. However, this is the name of one of the trends in modern design. The wabi-sabi movement appeared at the end of the 15th century in Japan and protested the excessive display of wealth and luxury. Now it is associated with the ability to appreciate the moment and not replace emotions with material things. Wabi-sabi style encourages the use of simple things. Economy and functionality, maximum conciseness are appropriate here. You can use asymmetrical items and add textured elements. Wabi-sabi or “humble beauty” is a style that has been gaining popularity almost all over the world over the past few years. It is valued for its aesthetic appeal, low cost, reasonable consumption and naturalness.
Textured materials
When designing spaces, designers try to choose natural materials. Stone, textiles, wood, leather, brick will be fashionable. You can use both originals and realistic copies. Smooth surfaces are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Surfaces that combine materials of different textures look beautiful. You can safely add fabrics and knitted elements. You can add style to your space by adding handmade items.
Environmental friendliness
Society is beginning to understand that nature must be treated with care. It is important to create a safe and at the same time practical space for living. Designers recommend giving preference to materials that will last a long time. It is better to choose natural shades, and also carefully consider the issue of comfortable lighting.
Retro touches in the interior
Everything new is well forgotten old. Vintage items are trendy in new designs. You can make the atmosphere more interesting with the help of antique furniture, stylish accessories and fittings, and unusual lamps.
Retro style in the interior
It is not necessary to decorate the entire space as a “grandmother’s renovation” apartment. It will be enough to add a few details that imitate aged wood or place a couple of cozy rugs.
Biophilic Design
The basis of this trend is a love of nature. Natural shades found in the natural environment will be relevant. You should avoid bright, flashy colours and unnatural shapes. You can add living plants to the space.
Multifunctionality of space
Continuing the theme of environmentally friendly consumption, we must not forget about the functionality of interior items. Transformable furniture will be relevant in the new season, for example, a multi-section sofa, which, if necessary, quickly turns into a full-fledged sleeping place. An interesting solution is a kitchen island that can be used as a bar counter. It is important that the furniture does not clutter the space.
For small apartments, it is important to pay attention to zoning. If in a limited area you need to organize a sleeping area, a study and a living room for meeting loved ones and relatives, as well as provide a recreation area, you can use all kinds of partitions or add furniture with integrated appliances.
When arranging furniture, you should consider storage systems. Spacious and modern – wardrobe. The trend is built-in wardrobes, which are almost invisible against the background of other interior elements.
Manufacturability
The use of modern technologies can significantly simplify life. Timers, sensors, remote-controlled devices, and voice assistants are gaining popularity. Having tried the elements of the “smart home” system at least once, it is very difficult to refuse them in the future.
Depending on financial capabilities and perception of innovation, you can completely automate the space or start with small changes, for example, a remote-controlled robot vacuum cleaner.
Monochrome
The belief that beige or muted gray are boring bases for a room is becoming a thing of the past. In a world where bright colors are everywhere, constantly changing pictures and a frantic pace of life, a person needs a visually uncluttered place. Using a calm color palette in your home will help you relax, unwind and recharge for another busy day. To prevent the interior from looking simple, you can add complex textures or make a few bright accents.
Honey shades
Warm colors create a pleasant atmosphere conducive to quality rest. The color is pleasant to the eye and does not cause any discomfort. You can enhance the effect by properly working out the issue of lighting.
Beige-red colors can be used both for the entire interior and for individual elements.
Soil shades
You can make your space look modern by using different earth tones. A brown, dark green or gray base can be diluted with different textures. Brick, wood, stone or textiles would be appropriate.
It’s easy to refresh the base by adding elements in black, white or dark blue.
Lighting
Multi-level lighting remains relevant.
To make it comfortable to be in the room and to make the interior look more advantageous, you should follow several recommendations:
installation of ceiling lights, pendants or chandeliers to combine the space into a single whole;
High-quality work light for a desk or bedside table. It is important to choose a device that will not cause eye strain, but at the same time will allow you to work with texts or small details;
drawing attention to individual design elements using accent lighting. Wall lamps that can change the illumination angle or glow power are popular;
decorative light that makes the space more cozy. You can place an LED strip or complement the space with multi-colored
