Interior Design Trends in 2024
I think we can all agree that interior design in Kenya has evolved drastically in the last couple of years. The perception that interior design was perceived as a luxury before, is slowly shifting. More people now acknowledge the power of transforming your small space to large spaces into something beautiful without breaking the bank, through interior design.
But I am not a homeowner!?
One major misconception is that interior design is only for homeowners, leaving people that rent their homes feeling left out. This is however untrue because interior design is not defined by the amount of space you have but what you can do with what you have. It can be something as minor as changing the color of your wall using a wallpaper or adding a wall to wall carpet in your bedroom spaces to add character, style and personalize it.
Whether you own a home or you are renting, we have put together simple design trends that speak to your personality:-
1. Bringing the Outdoors In With Natural Elements
Nature inspired materials like stone, wood and plants bring a refreshing look, feel and authenticity to a space. The textures and tones are exactly what have become a sought after aspect if you are looking to change an office space, living room area or bathroom space.
2. Warmth Earthy Color Palettes
Soft neutrals like earthy tones like sage brown, grey are a to go to by most people. This is mainly because when used, they don’t overpower the room but instead add depth especially in small rooms.
3. Stylish TV Cabinets for a Modern, Organized Look
The living room area is mostly the face of your home. TV cabinets are therefore increasingly popular in Kenya, providing a sleek and functional solution to keep the space area well organized. These cabinets also help declutter and have a designated place to put your sound system or decor art and books.
Adding these cabinets instantly elevates your living room giving it a polished feel that gives a statement
4. Multifunctional Spaces for Versatile Living
As homes become more dynamic, people are now building more homes with spaces that can serve multiple purposes. Room dividers, contact paper and statement rugs can be used for this purpose.
5. Shower Rooms
Light and airy showers featuring frameless glass enclosures remain popular with most people requesting a spa-like look and feel at home. This style of shower has a glass door leading into a fully enclosed space that does not trap moisture.
6. Cozy Wall to Wall Carpets
Comfort and warmth should be key in some spaces and the wall to wall carpets do not disappoint. Not only do they soften the look and feel of a space but they also create a cozy atmosphere that is also safe for small children. They are available in different colors, textures and patterns to fit your personality.
7. Modern Gypsum Ceilings
Gypsum ceilings offer a modern streamlined look that can be customized in different designs. They also provide functions like soundproofing and increased house lighting. Gypsum is versatile enough to work in any room making it a popular choice for many.
8. Wainscoting
Mostly known as paneling or cladding. Wainscoting is a wooden or PVC paneling applied to the lower part of walls. The added detail automatically elevates the look of a room or a hallway making it particularly stand out and define the space.
