Make a wonderful wall
I want to tell you something about wallpaper. This material is busy making a comeback in every interior. Not for the whole house but for some walls that must be kissed alive. To improve empty white walls, there are some different living styles for the wallpaper trends of 2024.
Wallpaper trends for 2024
Wallpaper Retro Revival
Although we already knew that colour would be prevalent in next year’s fashion trends, we also see a return of retro colours this autumn. Some include bold and vibrant combinations like orange, yellow, brown, and green. There are also many graphic patterns and natural elements in these retro designs, sure to make a significant impact. Another trend that will be interesting to see is the return of cork, which is a practical yet stylish material.
For people who just bought a ’70s house, you could leave it as it is because retro and vintage are coming back! Retro wallpaper is a popular trend in homes and hotels right now. It can be combined with vintage furniture and curved benches and tables.
Wallpaper Texture to touch
Standard smooth paper is always an option, but this will give your existing design some life. Textile and rattan materials will become more popular, and foam prints will also become more popular. This trend is very versatile and can be used in various ways. One of the most prominent companies in this area is Arte Wall Paper, which has many colours and prints. This wallpaper trend will make your living room look more sophisticated in 2024.
Magical Graphic
Although this wallpaper trend is somewhat similar to the Retro Revival, we can use cheerfulness when life looks a bit grim. This trend’s combination of bright colours and neutral tones works well.
Be careful if you want to use vibrant colours like orange, yellow, and pink. Your choice of paper should only consist of two basic colours and one accent colour, and you should also vary its hardness and softness. One bright print with all colours should be used as the primary accent, and two more should be used for decoration.
The Best of Beige
The use of cream, sand, and beige will continue to be a popular trend. In 2024, many textures and figures will excite the walls. The sweet and well-behaved type of beige will also be phased out. A subtle curl or a warm linen texture will add a bit of luxury to your hotel’s theme. While the use of beige is becoming more prevalent, we are also seeing many people gravitating toward the soft terracotta colour. This combination of colours and textures will create a beautiful atmosphere.
3D artwork
This concept is further explored in 3D art, which features wall installations, sculptures, and kinetic objects that extend from the wall. It allows you to interact with the space around it, change the piece’s perspective, and create a new experience. Whether it’s a bold geometric design or a delicate wire sculpture, 3D art can make a statement.
Line Art
Continuing its reign in the design world, minimalist and line art remains a popular trend in 2024. This style’s simplicity and elegance are its most vital points, offering a clean, uncluttered look that complements virtually any interior design.
Line art creates a sophisticated, understated aesthetic with essential forms and a minimal colour palette. It’s the perfect choice for those who lean towards a “less is more” philosophy and want their spaces to feel calm and orderly.
