Living trends 2024

Just like fashion, interior design is subject to constant change. One thing comes, another goes, some things stay. In the jungle of micro-trends, interior design scouts have identified a few main trends that will shape the year 2024. TAGWERC Design News briefly summarizes the most important interior design trends for 2024. The focus is clearly on individuality. In addition to the ever-popular pattern, colors are very strong this year.

Postmodern design

Memphis, Archizoom Associati, Studio DDL - in the postmodern era, architects and designers worked Designer collectively against the established and traditional furnishing styles. Conventional ideas of living gave way to multifunctional spatial experiences in the 1970s/1980s, sweeping the dust of wing chairs from living rooms. Ultrafragola - an oversized mirror with a wavy frame - or Valigia, the floor lamp and table lamp by Stilnovo, which translates as "suitcase". To this day, the socially critical designs by designers such as Ettore SOTTSASS, Studio 65, Tobia Scarpa, Superstudio, Alessandro Mendini, Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni continue to influence contemporary design. The trade fair stand of Danish furniture manufacturer Montana already announced this trend theme last year. Postmodernism is back - or was it never completely gone?

Unique pieces with charisma

There is no better way to express character and personality than with charismatic individual pieces from the design classics dynasty. A Shiva-Vase by Designer Ettore Sottass on a shelf or side table, a If you are looking for something very special and unique and can afford it, you can opt for the Joe Baseball armchair with or without a pouf from Poltronova. This lounge armchair in the shape of an oversized baseball glove is made by hand according to the individual wishes of its new owner. There is a choice of denim, cuddly faux fur or fine leather in various colors. For those who like a classic look and don't want to wait for a certain used look, the vintage leather in cognac tone is the right choice of cover.

For garden and terrace

The Portlligat sun lounger creates wow moments in the garden or on a spacious terrace. The seating sculpture, designed by Salvador Dalí in 1962, is handmade by BD Barcelona and is available from TAGWERC. The Panton One Lounge Chair is less expensive but no less stylish. The cozy chair is available in a version with a stainless steel frame suitable for outdoor use. The ergonomic seat upholstery is available in eight different colors. Which brings us to the next 2024 living trend: Color.

Show your colors

Expressive colors and unusual shapes will be the talk of the town in 2024. Strong blue tones such as azure blue or cobalt blue, vibrant green tones, radiant yellow tones, lively orange tones through to pink, pale pink or magenta and shades of red. Too much red can be perceived as oppressive and threatening - used skillfully and in moderation, it lends our living spaces warmth and cosiness. Darker shades of red are perceived by most as noble and luxurious, and were once considered the color reserved for emperors and kings. Even a splash of color such as the Topan pendant light in Vermillion Red or the Letters cushion in the red/black color combination provides the right accents.

Color of the year 2024

The color manufacturer Pantone, which announces its "Color of the Year" every year, has chosen the color "Peach Fuzz" - which could be described as a pale apricot - for 2024. No matter which color you want to go with in 2024 - cushion covers or decorative cushions are always an inexpensive and simple alternative for anyone who doesn't want to change the entire apartment. The cushion from the TAGWERC Art collection, for example, use classic design fabrics that are available in many different colors. Because: color stands for joie de vivre.

Pattern, pattern, pattern

Ten years ago, Designer Guido Maria Kretschmer's answer to the question about the most important fashion trends in 2014 was: "Pattern, pattern, pattern.". "Geometric shapes are THE perennial favorite in the field of home textiles and home accessories," says Stephan Tovar, Managing Director of TAGWERC. For more than ten years, the design classics specialist has been offering geometric designs by designers under the "TAGWERC Art Collection" label. The fabrics can also be ordered by the meter. They can be used to reupholster armchair and sofas, making them a future highlight in the living room at home. The more daring can try a mix of different patterns. This trend can also be implemented quickly and effectively at home with carpets and wallpaper.

Cacti and succulents

In 2024, cacti and succulents will provide lively and easy-care greenery on shelves and side tables. These undemanding plants bring a touch of the exotic into your own four walls. They can be grouped into small and large arrangements and exude a touch of Mediterranean and Mexican flair.

Utensils at the bottom - plants at the top

If you are looking for a shelf where utensils are stored at the bottom and plants are enthroned at the top, you should take a closer look at the TAGWERC Design STORE mobile storage Runner from Montana. This storage unit is available in almost forty colors, which also picks up on the color statement trend described above. Win, win, so to speak.
