🎨 2024 in a blaze of colour: the trend colours that will bring your home to life
“New year, new colours – and this time it really pops!” That’s exactly how we – your Design Squad of Mia, Lisa, Lena, Alex and Noah – felt when we decided on our colour palette for the year. Away with the perfect white and towards colour, personality and real heart. Ready for 2024?
🔵 1. Blue Nova (Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year)
A medium shade of blue with a hint of violet – as deep as the ocean, as elegant as a velvet dress. It feels good without being too strong and is perfect for the bedroom or office, where calm and depth are required.
🍑 2. peach fuzz (Pantone Colour of the Year 2024)
A soft peach colour – warm, friendly, versatile. Ideal as a wall colour or furniture accent in the living room, kitchen or children’s room. Combination ideas: Tone-on-tone in peach or rich in contrast with green and petrol.
🖤 3. moody black aka cracked pepper (Behr)
Smooth black for the bold. Particularly strong in small bathrooms, kitchens or hallways where contrast, depth and a wow effect are required marcacorona.it+3housebeautiful.com+3architecturaldigest.com+3.
🌿 4. shades of green – from sage to forest
Deep Forest Green as a new neutral, Fresh Herb as a delicate green – they connect us with nature, whether as a statement wall, piece of furniture or accessory thesun.co.uk+2insidestories.com+2realsimple.com+2.
🤎 5. earth tones & shades of brown
Goodbye grey – welcome chocolate brown, rusty brown, terracotta & co. We love them as textile highlights, kitchen fronts and in open-plan living areas realsimple.com+10architecturaldigest.com+10marcacorona.it+10.
🟡 6. powder/pastel shades: baby blue & soft pink
Light pastels with a nostalgic vibe – as a delicate wall colour or accessory, they are particularly suitable for rooms where airiness and cosiness are required.
