From Coquette to Western: These 10 Interiors Trends Are Everywhere Right Now

And how to figure out which one will suit you.

While the predicted interior design trends of 2024 have already started to roll out, with the changing of the seasons comes slight updates to the styles we know and love.

Whether you’ve started cleaning out the clutter accumulated over winter to make way for spring, or beginning to cosy-up your home so you’re all set for when autumn hits, these elevated updates will help you achieve a look that complements your interior style, while also freshening up your space.

1. Love millennial pink? Try the coquette aesthetic

Hyper-feminine style continues to manifest itself in different ways. Around 2017 we saw it through the lens of ‘millennial pink’, where feature walls and 3-seater couches were drenched in the Pantone 13-1404 hue. If you were a fan of this blush-toned era, let us introduce you to the retro-romantic aesthetic of coquette. This interior style is heavily vintage-inspired, with ornate touches and frilly finishes adorning the sweet pieces that adorn coquette-clad rooms.

2. Love cottagecore? Try French farmhouse

Fans of slow living, dried flowers, and endless cups of tea are often drawn to the charming interior style of cottagecore. While this rustic interior style isn’t going anywhere, you can refresh your space with Parisian-like touches such as counter skirts, ornate antiques, and eclectic gallery walls to evoke a sense of European elegance.

3. Love retro? Try '80s opulence

For those with homes that feel like a blast from the past, try dipping your toes into something a little more lavish with opulent touches inspired by the '80s. Try experimenting with bold colour combos, fluted surfaces, kitsch florals, multi-coloured area rugs, and of course, brass – from coffee table legs to lounge chair arms and everywhere in between.

4. Love statement walls? Try a 'fifth wall' makeover

Whether it’s painted in an accent colour or covered in wallpaper to complement your furniture and decor, the power of a statement wall will never go unnoticed. If you’re a fan of the at-home mural, try changing things up and transferring the drama from the wall to the ceiling. From experimenting with different coloured paints, wallpapers, removable decorative ceiling plasters, and sculptural lighting to add a touch of understated opulence to your space.

5. Love Hamptons? Try bold blue touches

If you’ve ever watched a Nancy Meyers film and wondered if it was filmed in your home, you’re probably into Hamptons/traditional style. If you’re wanting to make some impactful changes to your space to adhere to “what’s hot” right now, try adding bold pops of blue to your space in the form of pillows/cushion covers, coffee table books, and vases. These bursts of blue will keep your space feeling coastal, but give it more of a contemporary feel.

6. Love maximalism? Try personalisation/eclectic

If your personal motto is along the lines of “more is more”, and combining contrasting colours and patterns is your forte, try switching up your home’s maximalist interiors this season with a more personal and eclectic touch. Don’t be afraid to mix and match decor pieces and furniture from different eras, and incorporate sentimental pieces that have been left in the cupboard to collect dust. This style is all about showcasing your personality and sense of self, the more nostalgia-provoking pieces, the better!

7. Love warm neutrals? Try chocolate tones

We love a warm neutral as much as the next person, but if you’re keen on a fresh look without compromising the interior style of your home, invite rich chocolate tones into your space and sit back and watch as the level of luxury rises. Officially dubbed ‘Brown Renaissance’ by our trend-lovers on Pinterest, this interior style borrows elements from traditional styling while incorporating deep Cacao hues to add a timeless warmth to the space.

8. Love mid-century? Try Western

Perhaps one of the most timeless interior styles, mid-century modern is still going strong since its inception 70 years ago. If you’re wanting to change up your home’s styling while still paying homage to its MCM pieces, experiment by adding Western elements to your home. Achieving that little bit of southern charm won’t be hard to accomplish if your home is already dressed in warm wooden MCM tones, all you need is some antique touches in the form of warm-toned rugs, western-style paintings, tapestries and decor that reflect the ‘yeehaw’ era.

9. Love grey minimalism? Try pops of chrome

Most of us waved goodbye to millennial grey years ago, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still rocking touches of the subdued hue in our home. For those who lean towards minimalist interiors in neutral tones such as beige, black, white, and grey, try adding some decor pieces up with chrome or metallic touches. Metallic lamps, clocks, coasters, vases, and mirrors are all small but effective pieces you can seamlessly weave into your home’s landscape for a more modern and updated look.

10. Love the indoor jungle look? Try statement arrangements

The indoor jungle look really had a moment back in 2019, but as the responsibility of caring for multiple plant babies took a toll on many of us, the number of plant-filled paradises slowly declined. If your home still nods to this green-thumb era with clusters of potted plants peppered throughout it, try separating them for a more elevated statement look. If the thought of breaking up your plant’s party is too much to bear, experiment the “statement look” with contemporary floral arrangements with sculptural features.
