Making a Statement with Interior Design

Making a statement with your interior design style is not just a reflection of your personal style, and how you choose to decorate your space also communicates a certain narrative, emotion, or idea. When executed right, interior design can elevate how you live in your space. It’s the job of an interior designer to give you the tools to take your design to that next level with the most current and timeless pieces that express your lifestyle and personality.

Whether you’re a seasoned homeowner or navigating this journey for the first time, our team at Speas Interior Design is here to provide inspiration and guidance to transform your living environment into an functional expression of your personality.

As we get closer to the new year, many companies are starting to forecast what they believe will be popular in 2024 and what trends will fade away and which will grow next year and the years to follow. Let us break down some of the ways you can use these 2024 interior design trends to make a statement in your space—whether it be big or subtle.

Making A Statement with Paint

Paint companies have already announced their predictions for 2024 and their annual color palettes featuring Colors of the Year for 2024. While these may seem like arbitrary choices, the color scientists and trend watchers at these leading brands spend their careers engaged with forecasting what will be popular among a wide variety of people, and using these trends can even help interior designers near Colorado Springs like our team at Speas Interior Design access more finishes and fabrics that come in these hues.

For 2024, we are seeing an emerging design trend that places bold and bright colors alongside updated whites, browns, and black neutral tones. Grays are moving out of the spotlight in 2024, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on gray if you love it! Just because it’s not big in the coming year, that is no reason not to incorporate your favorite colors into your home.

Some Colors of the Year from leading brands include:

Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year 2024 near Colorado Springs, Colorado (CO)
  • Upward SW 6239 from Sherwin-Williams: This calming light denim blue with light gray undertones is the perfect hue for open, airy, and relaxing spaces.
  • Blue Nova 825 from Benjamin Moore: This saturated and vibrant midtone blue-violet is a livable statement color that can be featured on all four walls.

Interior Finishes That Wow

You can make a statement with interior design in a multitude of ways—it doesn’t always have to be the biggest or boldest to make a significant impact. Some homeowners enjoy a more neutral palette that they can embellish with color and pattern in their finishes with artwork, rugs, pillows, window treatments, and other accessories. Hard finishes like tiled surfaces, countertops, and even your light fixtures offer opportunity to add interesting shapes, bold patterns, and colors to your interior design.

  • Fireclay Tile specializes in fun patterns and bold colors that can be mixed and matched to create a look unique to your space and aesthetic.

  • Cambria offers many quartz slabs that feature bold veins and colors that bring movement to your surfaces. Incorporate Cambria’s designs in a powder room, children’s bathroom, or wet bar for a fun and funky high end look that will be in style for 2024 and beyond.

Depending on how bold you would like to be, a mix of one of these fun finishes with neutral wood or other finishes can make a statement in your home.

Incorporate New Interior Design Styles with Wall Finishes

Your walls are among the easiest spaces to change the look of your home, so why not experiment with wallpaper or unique wall finishes. Wall coverings can make a statement in your home by bringing a different texture to your space.

  • Wall Theory specializes in faux wall panels with material options from concrete to brick to barnwood. You can incorporate these panels on your fireplace surround, in a stairwell, or as an accent wall in a high traffic area of your home. These panels are a great way to make a statement without having to use pattern or bold color.

Wallpaper has come a long way since the hard-to-fit and remove days of the past, and many companies have a large library of textures, colors, and prints from which to choose. You can make a statement with an accent wall, as wallpaper in a powder bathroom, and don’t forget the fifth wall—try adding wallpaper on the ceiling of your dining room or entryway for an unexpected and polished accent!

2024 Interior Design Trends in Furniture and Fabric

Furniture and fabric companies are also embracing statement pieces, patterns, and color in their new lines for 2024 and beyond.

  • Paul Roberts is a furniture brand that has great prints to bring pattern and softness to your living room. Choosing a pattern for your accent chairs is a great way to make a statement in a living room, without having to commit to a bold fabric on a larger piece of furniture, like your sectional.

You can also bring in different shapes and arm styles to dining room chairs, bar stools, or lounge chairs for an added designer touch.
