Classic Stripes Are Back
Designers are heralding the return of classic stripes, anticipating their resurgence in 2024. According to Jaime Moore of James Studio Interiors, stripes are versatile and can serve as neutrals, especially when paired with conservative color combinations like white or tan alongside traditional accent shades such as black, blue, or red. Moore recently incorporated navy and white pinstripe chairs into a living room project, showcasing their timeless appeal.
Embracing Nature-Themed Motifs
Shannon Tate-Giordano of Shannon Tate Interiors expresses enthusiasm for integrating natural prints and motifs into her designs, citing their timeless and versatile nature. She often pairs natural prints with modern or traditional furniture, as exemplified by her use of Justina Blakeney’s Eucalif Wallpaper in a teal hue to adorn the walls of a dining room, creating a striking contrast against neutral furniture tones. Katy Evans of Katy Evans Design echoes this sentiment, favoring patterns inspired by nature, such as leaves, flowers, and animals, often rendered in block prints like Schumacher’s Lady Hollyhock.
Rebecca Jones of Rebecca Frye Design appreciates nature-inspired patterns, particularly floral or trompe l’oeil scenery, for their transformative impact on a room. In compact New York City spaces, large-scale nature-themed designs add visual interest and depth, effectively expanding the perceived size of a room. Emily Sturgess of Emily Sturgess Design embraces “nature as a neutral,” utilizing scrolling vines, abstract foliage, and flowering trees on walls to create warm and classic interiors that serve as versatile backdrops for smaller-scale prints and geometrics.
Aviary Patterns and Fresh Americana
Jenn Acito of Dama + Wood gravitates towards aviary patterns, finding them playful and versatile for creating bold or eclectic aesthetics. She anticipates incorporating bird patterns into her designs in 2024 to infuse spaces with a sense of whimsy and charm.
Rebecca Jones looks forward to reimagining classic Americana style with refreshing takes on blue and white combinations. By introducing unexpected approaches to this timeless color pairing, Jones breathes new life into traditional motifs like Schumacher’s Khan’s Park, revitalizing spaces with a sense of calm yet captivating allure.
In conclusion, the pattern trends for 2024 celebrate a fusion of timeless classics and fresh interpretations, offering endless possibilities for infusing spaces with character and charm. Whether through classic stripes, nature-themed motifs, or innovative takes on Americana, designers are poised to transform interiors with creativity and flair in the coming year.
