Is wall panelling in style in 2024?
We have already seen panelling become popular
in 2023, with the ornate details expected to attract
more attention in 2024. These details also add
some je ne sais quoi; decorative wood panelling
and mouldings are reminiscent of Parisian design,
creating huge interest in homes. Their intricate
designs add depth and texture to spaces.

Fluted Designs
Fluted walls, steeped in classical architecture,
are resurging in 2024 as trendsetters in modern
interiors. This one-grandiose feature adds an
exciting interplay of light and shadow, bringing
a simple yet captivating dimension to any room.
The charm of fluted designs isn’t limited to
walls; it elevates ceilings into artistic focal points
reminiscent of mid-century and postmodern
elegance.

What wallpaper is popular in 2024?
Designers have turned up the heat in 2024 with
unique floral prints and bold geometric patterns.
Modern wallpaper designs are also increasing in
the market, emphasising inspired prints. Textures
are an essential feature used widely to create a
new angle of interest.
Graphic prints are one of the latest wallpaper
trends and are big news for anyone who loves
to give a sense of structure and order to a
room scheme. String geometric designs or bold
repetitive patterns are brilliant for adding depth
and movement.

Interior wall paint colours for 2024
No matter the colour, a fresh coat of paint on a
wall can make the interior look fresher, cleaner,
and brighter.
When choosing a colour, it is important to
consider the lighting, the colour of the existing
furniture and the mood one is trying to set.
Lighter colours, like creamy white, silvery grey,
and muted pastels, help create the illusion of a
larger, brighter interior. Meanwhile, darker shades,
like deep purple, warm red, and moody blue, make
a bold design statement and create a cosy and
intimate atmosphere.

Exterior wall colours for 2024
The spectrum of colour is vast and full of beautiful
shades and tones, but they won’t make a house a
home. The best exterior colours for a house range
from reds to blues, dark to lights, but they all feel
welcoming and give a home a sophisticated touch.
The most popular exterior paint for houses
is Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams. Alabaster
also works as a siding or trim colour, making it
a versatile exterior paint. The creamy off-white
exterior looks great on every surface, including
wood, vinyl, brick, fibre, cement, and stucco.
