Springtime is just around the corner, and if you're curious as to what design trends will be majorly trending in the home interior world throughout the coming season, we're here to give you the scoop.
We spoke with a handful of pro designers and asked them to weigh in on the looks that will be in major style in the coming months (and beyond). Based on their statements, now is the perfect time to go bold with color, purchase weathered-looking planters, and so much more.
Below, designers share 6 spring decor trends they're excited to see in 2024.
More Color
Move over, winter whites! This spring, we can expect to see tons of vibrance in people's homes, Jess Harrell, the founder of The Styled Domicile, says.
"People are bored of all neutral interiors," she says. "They're craving some excitement and want to express themselves in their homes."
Say hello to color by experimenting with bright paint, installing patterned wallpaper, or decorating with fun furnishings and accessories, Harrell suggests. Whether you take a DIY approach such as spray painting furniture or making it over using chalk paint, there are numerous small changes you can make.
And don't be afraid to start small. If brand new case pieces aren't in the budget this spring, you can still certainly take part in the vibrant trend.
"Layering in smaller furnishings and accessories is a low commitment way to start embracing more pattern and color one item at a time," Melissa Mahoney, the founder of Melissa Mahoney Design House, says.
Antique and Aged Planters
Searching for the perfect vessel in which to display your spring florals? Look no further than an antique planter or vase. These will shine both indoors and outside on the patio, Jennifer Acito, the founder of Dama & Wood, says. Whether you purchase a terracotta piece or are more partial to a gray stone-like finish, you can't go wrong.
Don't be afraid to group together multiple planters within one room to make even more of a statement, as Acito did in the welcoming dining space shown here. The wallpaper color that she selected plays off of the terracotta pots, too.
Glossy, Reflective Finishes
This spring, glossy and reflective finishes will be making their presence known, Mina Lisanin, the founder of ML Interiors, says.
"I just completed a project with a reflective coffee table and it helps bring in so much light into the space," she says. "It's perfect for longer spring days."
Lacquered trays are also an ideal pick for those looking to bring this trend into their space on a smaller scale.
Playful Hardware
Spruce up your dull cabinet and drawer pulls by swapping them out with a different design style or colored finish to refresh your home space. Expect to see playful hardware throughout more homes this spring—choose from large-scale marble knobs or pulls that are bright and colorful, Lisanin says.
Upgraded Bookcases
This spring, take your wallpapering project to the next level by lining bookshelves with a favorite covering to give a room a little more oomph.
"Adding a wallpaper to the insides of a bookcase draws attention to your collection of books and cherished objects," Tara McCauley, the founder of an eponymous firm, says.
In a recent project, McCauley gave existing bookcases a major upgrade by painting them blue and then lining them with metallic wallpaper for a touch of elegance.
Framed Scarves
This spring, don't just tie a silk scarf around your neck or bag—frame a favorite so that you can admire it in your home on a day-to-day basis.
"I love, love, love to use these beautifulworks of fashion as art," Lisa Gilmore, the founder of Lisa Gilmore Design, says. "Vintage or new, you can't go wrong."
Whether you create an entire wall of framed scarves or display them individually, they'll make a major statement and bring an instant pop of color into any room of the house—Gilmore has even displayed scarves in the kitchen.
If you don't already own a drawer full of beautiful scarves just waiting to be framed, keep in mind that you can source such pieces at thrift and antique stores, estate sales, and online auctions.
