2024 Interior Design Trends I Am Excited About 💞

Oh yes the dedicated office space is much needed! I visited few older/middle aged couples. They have always had decicated office spaces. They said they tried to reduce mobile use, by maintaining a office/reading space. You go to that room to do your research, work, read news etc. helped them a lot to stop doom scrolling on phones. It was very interesting to hear their approach and how they trained their children also to do it.

I’m a doctor and I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having a dedicated space for a home office. The number of patients that I had these past three years complaining about how the line between work-life and home-life blurred and how bad it made them feel was really outstanding. My advice was always to make a dedicated room or even just a corner to work, set schedules and stick to them, with walks or physical activities to separate the part of the day dedicated to work vs the part of the day dedicated to the rest of your life

I love hidden rooms. If I had my way I would make a house full of hidden rooms and doors so I can pop in and out of different places like the victorian ghost that I am.

"Nature never looks dated. She's always fabulous." 😂

Hidden doors and stairways will never get old. They’ve been in homes all throughout history. From wall-walks to priest holes, to servants doors, to secret passages in castles to get out, they’ve always been a thing and I’m excited to see them being done in a modern way.

I just bought a 21-year old house that has granite counters with flecks of copper in it. After playing around with some options, we decided to keep it. We painted the cabinets cream and added a few copper accents and it looks fantastic. It is not the trendiest look, but it fits with our look, which leans toward the celebration of natural materials and warm looks.

I would love to have a butler's pantry where ALL of my appliances would reside; easy to use; no moving back and forth and out of sight.

I'm just happy to see more COLOR being trendy! I'm so over all the beige/neutral everywhere, it just feels so lifeless, give me all the zany colors

You pick a colour and you ride it till the wheels fall off😂😂😂😂😂😂hilarious… just love your channel…

Regarding stainless steel appliances (even black stainless) being considered "neutral," I feel compelled to point out that avocado was once considered neutral, as well. - I survived the 70's

As someone who sells appliances, I will always try to steer you away from black stainless. It's true that the majority aren't black stainless throughout and manufacturers don't make touch up kits. Even if you think you'd be careful and not scratch it, you'd be surprised how often you bump things with your rings or belt buckle, dogs like to jump up with their nails, children do as they please with whatever objects they please. If you're considering black stainless, just consider your surroundings and how much you can minimize the chance of scratching so you don't end up unhappy later

I had to laugh when you talked about Biophilic Design being a trend. Where I live in Thailand, it's a way of life!! I can't tell you how many structures I've seen literally built around a tree (buildings, steel fences, etc.). Man and nature coexist here in a way that isn't new at all. Wish I could post a picture to illustrate! Keep up the good work Nick. Love your channel.

Biophilic design seems like an updated version of the philosophy behind the Arts & Crafts movement. As a fan of William Morris I am kinda thrilled about it.

You remind me of what one of my favorite authors used to say about decor. If my home looks just like your home, one of us has a problem. I pick up on the trends that are me and pass on the ones who aren't.

SHEARling. They shear the fleece off the sheep. Like cutting your hair. The sheep's wool grows together in a matt. Then it is cut off in one continuous piece. The sheep is not killed. Usually they are sheared in spring and grow a new fleece by winter.

I work in a biophilic building. It's in the process of being condemned now unfortunately. Built in 1967 and retains almost all of its original features. The central atrium is amazing with a shuttered glass and steel slatted roof. I showed maintenance how to operate it to maintain heat in winter and cold in summer. The entire department showed up to see it in action. It's a wonderful trend from the sixties, shame it wl be gone soon.

Yes to dedicated office space. I put my desk into a closet and when I’m done with work, I just close the door and no longer think about it.

I think the thing with home offices is that the pandemic showed that when we weren’t all clogging up the roads for hours commuting every workday, driving for the few activities you had to do outside the house was pretty pleasant (less pleasant— masks, sterilizing everything, etc.) and things were so much less polluted— all of those pretty, clear skies. Why do we all need to commute and spew pollution everywhere, when a large portion of people worked just as well from home, especially when we’re trying to reduce carbon emissions?

I can’t imagine myself in a beige home. I love color. When I walk in my home I feel joyful, i think to myself I love being here…

I hung a very classic green and white pinstripe wallpaper in my kitchen and associated hallway 30 years ago. Love it then, love it just as much now. The stripe is fine enough that it reads as a neutral, and artwork looks great on it. Hard to go wrong long term with simple traditional designs.
