1. TERRACOTTA
The main thread for color trends in 2024 is a move towards earthiness instead of those more vibrant jewel-like tones. ‘For many years, the design world has been dominated by cool greys and stark whites, but a noticeable shift in preferences has emerged,’ says Sara McCarthy, designer at Vesta Home.
2. DARK OLIVE GREEN
Instead of brighter forest green or vibrant mints, dark olive or bottle green is a color we're seeing used more and more in the home. Its deep tone feels sumptuous and cozy and when used on the walls, it brings depth to any room.
3. DEEP BROWN
Browns have seen quite the revival in the home over the last year, and that isn't showing any sign of slowing down, continuing as a color trend for 2024. The undertones of the color brings a really warming quality to your home, and it's so omnipresent at the moment that it feels like it's taken grey's crown as the go-to paint color for a cozy space.
4. SLATE GREY
We've seen the rise of dark black rooms in the home, but we're noticing more and more a move towards an ashier, lighter black. Sleek and sophisticated, it brings the same refinement as grey always did, but has a more contemporary edge and added depth. If you need proof, the aptly named 'Cracked Pepper' was crowned Behr's color of the year.
WHAT DARK COLOR SHOULD I AVOID?
You heard it here first, say goodbye to the navy living room, because navy blue is over. Navy blue has been pretty popular over the last few years, but we're noticing the landscape changing. As with all color trends that come and go, when something starts getting overused, the chances are it will fall out of fashion. Instead, designers and homeowners are picking darker midnight blues or smokier blues with a grey tinge. 'Embrace softer, more nuanced alternatives to navy,' says Juan. 'The use of a muted teal would make the pallet calmer.'
