As we step toward a new year, 2024, interior design is embracing a bold and vibrant trend: brightly coloured feature walls. Gone are the days of neutral tones and safe choices; homeowners and designers are falling for eye-catching palettes that inject life and personality into their spaces. One of the key reasons behind the surge in brightly coloured feature walls is the desire to create a statement or focal point, adding depth, dimension, and a striking touch to any space. Whether it's the living room, bedroom, or even the bathroom, these walls are designed to captivate attention and create a lasting impression, says style director Louise Hilsz.
Regarding colour, think of bold primaries like electric blues and fiery reds or soft pastels like blush pinks and mint green, as well as metallic finishes - this palette makes the options endless.
As people gravitate towards embracing nature in their homes, seasonal shades like rich earthy tones, energetic greens reminiscent of lush forests, sun-drenched oranges reminiscent of fall leaves, and vibrant aqua inspired by crashing ocean waves will bring a sense of the outdoors inside. So, back to that interior forecast for 2024, this trend allows you to infuse your personality, allowing any room in your home to speak volumes in the language of colour.
