The word "trends" can often bring connotations of fleeting fads – our homes should be timeless reflections of our unique styles and personalities. That's why we're especially excited to present this year's 2024 interior design trends. From vibrant colors to scalloped details that add a touch of old-world charm, you can easily incorporate these trends in a timeless way that's all your own.
Welcome, design enthusiasts, to the grand reveal of the hottest trends shaping the interiorscape of 2024!
A note from Jesse
Founder, Principal Designer & Creative Director of Scout & Nimble and Bodine White
Before diving in, I must confess, I harbor a slight disdain for the word "trends" and its connotations of fleeting fads. Our homes, after all, should be timeless reflections of our unique styles and personalities. Yet, fear not, for I bring you a curated collection of design whispers that might just resonate with your inner stylist or, at the very least, provide the nudge you've been seeking to transform your space.
Let me also impart a golden nugget of wisdom: Do what you love! Your home is your canvas, and it should sing your song above all else. These trends are merely stepping stones, not rigid rules. So just keep that in mind as we take a leisurely stroll through the interior design trends for this year!
Unveiling the 2024 Interior Design Trends

1. Hello Yellow
Is there a hue that exudes more joy than yellow? From vibrant and bold to subtly muted, yellow adds a touch of cheerfulness that transcends time.
Design by Oho Interiors | Photography by Judth Marilyn
Whether you're diving headfirst with a patterned wallpaper or testing the waters with a few accent pillows, the warmth of yellow can infuse a room with an infectious energy.
Design by Reath Design | Photography by Laure Joliet
A little goes a long way, too. Look at how amazing the pop of a yellow pillow looks in Emily Henderson’s blue den:

Here are some of our favorite pieces to inspire you to embrace this trend for your own home:
2. Tapestries + Murals that Tell a Story
Picture this – a getaway to the English countryside within the confines of your own space.
Design by Phoebe Nicol
Enter tapestries, murals, and art that transport you. Hung, framed, wallpapered or painted, tapestries and murals are a surefire way to make a statement.
Design by Andrew Maier Interiors | Photography by Adam Kane Macchia
Design by Sims Hilditch Interiors
We often see the murals in dining rooms and children’s spaces, but I love the unexpected feel in an office like Chris Loves Julia did in their office.
Design by Chris Loves Julia
They provide that collected piece that can make a powerful statement and can fill a wall for impact. Whether it’s hanging or framed, the texture that the piece can bring into the space can be felt immediately.
Design by Ariella Duker
3. Ready for red? Are you ready?
Taylor Swift's classic lip color isn't just for pop anthems; it's making a bold comeback in our homes. From vibrant reds to deep mulberries, this color palette offers a spectrum of possibilities.
Design by Whittney Parkinson | Photography by Sarah Shields | Styling by Cate Ragan
If your home is more transitional or modern, go for the deeper shade and it will feel striking and interesting in the best of ways. If you are more on the traditional, maximalist side, go for that bright red hue for an instant lift and pop.

4. Ruffles, Scallops, and Fabric, Oh My!
Femininity is here, and here’s how we feel about it: the more pattern, ruffle, scallop, the better.
Design by Katie Rosenfeld | Photography by Read McKendree
From furniture to fabric (even a combination of both, maybe?), embrace the delightful drama of scalloped edges, turning everyday pieces into timeless treasures.
Design by Jenkins Interiors
We’re used to seeing this with the more traditional homes, but it is definitely making its way into the more transitional and even modern interiors. Scallops are being added to furniture and giving pieces such a unique and interesting feel - as if they have been around for years and years.
These scalloped styles are a great way to introduce an element of this trend into your space:
5. Equestrian Style
The 90s are responsible for a lot of things, and with much of the 90s fashion is back in style, it’s no surprise the classic, preppy, traditional equestrian style is trending again. Especially with icons like Ralph Lauren who continuously hit this style out of the park.
Lindsay Hunter expertly features this style in one of her recent projects, resulting in a modern take on the look for this primary bedroom:
Design by Lindsay Hunter
Think, leathers, horse art, plaid, checked, brass, cognac leathers, and rich dark woods.
Architectural Design by Historical Concepts | Design by Bryan Graybill | Photography by Eric Piasecki
Design by Katie Rosenfeld
Explore a wide range of looks that lend perfectly to this aesthetic:
6. Canopy Beds
Sleeping sanctuaries are getting a makeover with the return of canopy beds.
Design by Nathan Taylor | Photography by Brittany Godbee | Architecture by Geoff Chick
Canopy beds serve beautifully as a statement piece in a bedroom. And from modern to traditional, there are so many ways to add your own personal flare when choosing a canopy bed for your bedroom.
Design by Seeking Lavender Lane

Building upon last year's triumph predicted in our 2023 trends post, warm colorways like brown, beige, and creams persist in dethroning the stark whites and grays.

The day I spent four hours tracking down a single light fixture while three clients were waiting for design decisions, I realized something had to change. You can create the most beautiful spaces in the world, but without systems that scale, you'll spend more time putting out fires than actually designing.
