The Style Forecast: 9 Design Trends for Autumn 2024

August 12, 2024

In the fashion world, September marks the turning of a page, looking towards what’s new. We like to take the same tack with design: With cooler seasons ahead (in some parts of the world, anyway), it’s a time to turn again towards our interiors, taking cues from designers and trend-setters for our own spaces.

With that, here are nine design trends we predict will be all over this fall (and beyond), from kitchens that riff on wood paneling to the colors taking over the zeitgeist. Have a look:

1. Wood Kitchens

Here, floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets in a Brooklyn townhouse feel at once retro and earthy.

Above: Forget right angles: Lately kitchens are all smooth curves, making for a cookspace that’s visually striking and easier to move around. Case in point: In Kitchen of the Week: A Living-Room-Inspired Minimalist Kitchen in Stockholm by Nordiska Kök, the cabinets are more like high-end furnishings than generic big-box cupboards.

3. Buttery Yellow

5. Brick Floors Indoors

Above: In the flooring section of our book, Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home, we advise: “Just say no to the synthetic stuff” and stick to natural materials instead. The latest trend in natural flooring material isn’t, in fact, new at all: Bricks are one of the oldest and most durable building materials around, and we applaud their use indoors (as well as out). Read more in Trend Alert: Brick Floors, Interiors Edition. Shown here is the Heatherhill Beach House project by Norm Architects; photograph by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen.

6. Wetroom-esque Bathrooms

7. Hole-Punched Design

8. Folding Screens in the Boudoir

9. Burl Wood
