Trends in home design 2024
What is your go-to comfort reading or viewing when the days are short and the weather is cold? I can get absorbed in anything architectural and enjoyed this article on design trends. The themes for 2024 in the architecture and design worlds are keeping costs down though adaptive reuse and utilising natural, reclaimed and sustainable materials. I whiled away some time looking at the beautiful photos of tiny homes in New Zealand, a reclaimed 1700’s farm house in New Jersey and a hempcrete house in the Czech Republic. I was drawn to the use of textured materials like clay and fibre as a contrast to the hard surfaces of screens and keyboards that we touch all day. The other cosy trend is outdoor wellness spaces that make home a retreat, think showers, cold plunges, spas, small pools, saunas, and meditation rocks. I wonder if they have meditation rocks at our local Bunnings?
