Top 10 Interior Design Trends for 2024 (Part 2)

6. In: Statement Lighting

Out: Recessed Lighting

Lighting has long been neglected as a design piece in the average home. But bold, statement lighting fixtures have the power to make any space look and feel priceless. These pieces add personality and flair, from artisanal chandeliers to unique pendant lights. Recessed lighting, while still functional, is less popular in high-end homes as it offers less versatility and adds less to the overall vibe of the home...

7. In: Vintage and Antique Finds

Out: Matching Sets

Want a space to look expensive and well-curated? Try mixing vintage and antique pieces with modern furniture. This approach allows for more personalized and unique interiors that give the same feeling as walking through an art gallery. Matching sets, which can feel predictable and impersonal, are being replaced by more curated and visually interesting spaces.

8. In: Multifunctional Spaces

Out: Single-Use Rooms

Why design a room for a single purpose when you can design it for five? Since a lot of us don’t have unlimited space in our homes, multifunctional rooms are becoming essential. Think home offices that double as guest rooms or dining areas that transform into workspaces. Single-use rooms are being rethought to maximize the utility of every square foot, especially in expensive cities like Vancouver.

9. In: Artisanal and Handcrafted Decor

Out: Mass-Produced Decor

With sustainability top of mind, Vancouverites are increasingly loving artisanal and handcrafted decor items for their homes. Unique, handcrafted pieces not only support local artisans but also bring character and authenticity to a home. Mass-produced decor and prints may be cheaper, but they can also feel generic and impersonal.

10. In: Outdoor Living Spaces

Out: Neglected Patios

The all the natural beauty Vancouver has to offer, it’s no surprise that outdoor living spaces are in high demand. Vancouver homeowners are transforming patios and balconies into extensions of their indoor living areas, complete with comfortable seating, outdoor kitchens, and greenery. Especially with rising home prices in and around the city, Vancouver locals want to make use of every square inch of their property as well as improve their entertaining spaces for the spring and summer.
