Key Patterns Shaping 2024
On page 39 of the January issue, I delve into the key patterns that are set to influence the design landscape in 2024.
“I see florals taking on a more retro style and midcentury vibe that feel modern and cool and less flouncy. These fresh and lively florals are contemporary and bold and will breathe new life into upholstery, wallpaper, and accents. Pattern Play will continue. It made its resurgence in the second half of 2023 with geometric patterns mixing in scale, color, and technique. In 2024, we are going to see geometrics mixing with florals, creating an overexposed pattern play like we saw in the 80s.” - Nancy Fire
The Retro Revival
The forecast for 2024 brings with it a revival of retro-style florals with a midcentury vibe, injecting a modern and cool essence into upholstery, wallpaper, and accents. These fresh and lively florals promise to breathe new life into spaces, steering away from the flouncy styles of the past.
Building on the resurgence witnessed in the second half of 2023, pattern play is set to evolve in 2024. Geometric patterns, celebrated for their mixing in scale, color, and technique, will now seamlessly blend with florals, creating a dazzling overexposed pattern play reminiscent of the bold and vibrant styles that characterized the '80s.
Embracing the Creative Wave
From Heimtextil in Germany to the pages of Home Accents Today, the influence of pattern play is sweeping across borders, infusing spaces with a sense of fun, beauty, and boundless creativity. Join me in embracing this exciting wave of design as we redefine and elevate our living spaces in 2024.
