15 Trending Decor Pieces You'll See Everywhere in 2024

And exactly how to style them.

We're still finding it hard to wrap our heads around the fact that we're a month away from the new year. A month away from resetting goals, a month away from starting fresh, and a month away from witnessing an array of new interior design trends steadily making their way into our homes.

From glistening chrome pieces to geometric patterns that nod to the past, the decor trend forecast for 2024 has already proven interior design choices in the new year are far from ephemeral fads.

Whether you're looking to spruce up your living space, or just keen to learn what's deemed 'hot' for next year, ahead are 15 trending decor pieces you'll see everywhere in 2024.

1. Chrome

Gold finishes have dominated the interior design scene for the last few years, but 2024 will see chrome become the finish du jour. Popularised in the 1950s during mid-century modern’s inception, chrome decor pieces will be having a well overdue resurgence in 2024 in the form of coffee tables, lamps, and smaller pieces such as trays, coasters, and cups.

How to style it:
Because it reflects the surroundings, chrome pairs beautifully with almost every color (especially green!) and material, making it easy to style in your space. If you don't want to go too hard on the futuristic aesthetic, opt for 1-2 chrome pieces in a space and layer on furnishings such as sheer curtains or a linen throw to soften things up.

2. Geometric prints

Roll up the frayed jute mat and dust off the playful patterned pieces you stored away years ago, it’s time your furniture and decor had something fun to stand on. From earth-toned arches to vibrant oblongs, bold designs will be taking up prime real estate in 2024.

How to style it:
If your home already exhibits pops of color, try to find a pattern that matches or ties in with what you've already got. If your home is a neutral haven, don’t be afraid to introduce some color in the form of a geometric rug!

3. Fun tableware

In 2024 our dining tables will be sporting some seriously fun decor. From flower-shaped placemats to vibrant linen tablecloths, a well-dressed table will up your living space tenfold.

How to style it:
Creating a beautiful tablescape is a lot easier than you think. Start by selecting your favourite colors (or ones that tie in with your home), and begin to layer with different textures to really bring the space to life.


4. Sculptural lamps

Melding design and function, a sculptural lamp is a great way to inject some personality into your space while also illuminating the room with soft light. Antique stores are a great place to source cool and quirky lighting so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on your next trip!

How to style it:
When styling a sculptural lamp, finding the right size, shape, and colour will make all the difference when dressing up your space. If the shape is bold, choose a harmonious or muted color to ensure it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. If the shape is classic, you can be more playful with color and size. You may need to play around with the placement of your lamp – what can look terrible in one spot can create a ‘wow’ moment in another.

5. Retro-look appliances

Now is the time to get that Smeg kettle off your wishlist and into your cart because retro-look appliances are being summoned to all kitchen counters in 2024. Yep, that’s right, those bare countertops will look a whole lot better if you place a chic retro-inspired appliance on top of them.

How to style it:
If your kitchen is lacking in the color department, use your appliances as an opportunity to brighten up the space. For those who are already working with a great deal of color in their culinary quarters, stick to neutral-toned retro-look appliances so as not to overwhelm the space.

6. Check patterns

It’s safe to say check print is having a moment. From high pile rugs to ultra-soft towels, this fabulously bold yet simple pattern will be a popular choice in homes for 2024. Checks add a sophisticated playfulness to any space they’re placed in, so if you’re looking to add some refined fun to your home, look no further than the beloved check.

How to style it:
Similar to styling a stripe, you really can’t go wrong when it comes to styling a check. Try placing the pattern in areas which don’t have a pattern already, or with different textures. If your bathroom is in need of some TLC, our Check Towels are the perfect way to spruce up a space with minimal effort.

7. Brightly colored sofas

Bold pops of color are the new neutral for those at the forefront of design trends. A less risky way to experiment with color is by adding a bright sofa to your space. Think emerald velvet or a burnt orange suede – delicious!

How to style it:
A brightly colored sofa will be the main attraction in your living room, so it’s important to surround it with complementary pieces. If you’re not in the position to purchase a new sofa, try adorn your current lounge with vibrant linens to give it the same feel. For those who are more adventurous, letting your imagination run wild with playful accessories can turn your living room into a technicolour paradise. One tip? Work out your color palette before you play… There's a difference between colorful and chaotic!

8. Colorful bedding

Don’t be afraid to store your neutral sheets in the linen cupboard for a few months and have your mattress parade something a little brighter like Wildflower or Paprika. Colorful bedding will be taking centre stage in the bedroom for 2024, so let your personality shine in the form of bed linen.

How to style it:
If you, like most of us, have white walls and neutral furniture, styling different shades of bed linen is pretty easy, but the interior style of your bedroom can help guide you. If you’re a lover of mid-century, check out Olive, Paprika or Rust. If you’re more of a Scandi lover, Sage, Lavender, and Lilac all pair beautifully with lighter-toned wood. Dark and moody colours such as Cacao and Hazelnut look beautiful in a cozy bedroom, while delicious Limoncello is radiant in a fresh and sunny space.

9. Nostalgic prints

One thing we'll be seeing a lot of in 2024 is nostalgic artwork and prints from some of our favorite emerging artists. Paying homage to the laidback lifestyle of Australia, each print is inspired by sunkissed summers and the natural beauty of everyday life, we particularly love Gabrielle Diamantis' latest works for Bed Threads.

How to style it:
We love pairing a print with the decor in a space, so try and find something that ties in with the pieces you have at home. To give your art a more premium feel, try framing your prints to really up the wow factor.

10. Decorative trims

Why have a plain edge when you can have a scalloped one? That question will be on everyone’s lips in 2024 with decorative trims on the rise. From marble trims on doorways, skirtings and joinery to scalloped or zigzagged edges on fabric and furniture, you’ll be seeing this trend in all the chicest renos next year.

How to style it:
You really can’t go wrong with adding a decorative trim to a space. If you’re currently renovating, look at ways to add some decorative flair in doorways or skirting boards, on custom joinery or even in your bathroom tiling. If you’re looking for a renter-friendly way to zhuzh up your edges, some Scalloped Pillowcases or Placemats will do the trick.

11. Surprising shapes

Rectangular table shapes will always reign supreme in the home, but in 2024 we’ll be seeing a surge of curves and organic-shaped furniture making its way into our living spaces. Pieces in funky shapes are steadily on the rise, so if you’re in need of a new piece of furniture, consider getting something a little unorthodox to spruce up your space.

How to style it:
Introducing a fun shape into your home can be intimidating, but there’s nothing to fear! These playful pieces suit more spaces than you think, and offer a great contrast from the classic rectangles and circles we so commonly see in homes. Our tip? Bold and surprising shapes work best when styled in a pared-back way – don’t crowd them with decor items such as cushions or trinkets… Let them shine! If you're not in a position to add new furniture to your space, try experimenting with surprising shapes in the form of fun tableware.

12. Goodbye gray

In 2024, we’ll finally be bidding adieu to the monotonous ‘millennial gray’ which has taken over our walls, furniture, and cabinetry over the past few years and replacing it with buttery earth tones like beige, buff and fawn. These warm neutrals feel fresh, vibrant and hopeful in contrast to gloomy gray, and we are here for it!

How to style it:
The good thing about these buttery neutral tones is they go with pretty much anything! Whether it’s the base of a soothing beige room or the background of a technicolor maximalist space, these hues will always be a timeless choice.

13. Accent tiles

As much as we love a uniform splashback and seamlessly tiled bathroom floor, accent tiles hold a special place in our hearts. We’ll be seeing personality shine through in kitchens and bathrooms, with eclectic pops of color and unique accent tiles taking centre stage.

How to style it:
If you’re in the planning stage of your reno or about to start the tiling phase on your bathroom, kitchen or laundry, find a tile that’s timeless to you and works well with the space. You can find some truly unique accent tiles in antique stores or online… hunt them down to create a tiled space that’s full of charm and character.

14. Vintage and antiques

The oldies will always be the goodies. Vintage statement pieces and antiques will continue to be sought after 2024. Ornate frames, console tables, and cozy armchairs will be hot commodities styled alongside bold colors and eclectic shapes, to give your home that ultra-eccentric feel.

How to style it:
Vintage pieces work beautifully with modern decor and furniture to create a space that feels richly layered and lived in. Experiment with adding antique touches to your space in the form of crystalware, picture frames, and small side tables.

15. Counter skirts

Got an ugly white dishwasher ruining your kitchen’s vibe? Throw a counter ‘skirt’ over it. This traditional alternative approach to cabinetry will be making a comeback in 2024. All you need over the course of an evening is some fabric, access to a sewing machine (or a deft hand), a tension rod, and a YouTube tutorial. A renter-friendly move for disguising ugly sink pedestals too, prepare to want to apply a skirt to everything.

How to style it:
Try choosing a fabric that complements your kitchen’s cabinets, or one that seamlessly blends into the space to keep the eyes up and away from the kitchenware that’s hiding behind it.
