1. USING RECLAIMED MATERIALS
As more and more of us aspire to make eco-friendly home improvements in 2024, it's no surprise that using reclaimed and recycled materials is gaining popularity among DIY enthusiasts.
2. ADDING TEXTURE TO WALLS
While the memories of popcorn ceilings and orange peel walls might remind you of outdated interior design trends from yesteryears, wall texture is poised to make a stylish comeback in 2024.
3. BIOPHILIC HOME IMPROVEMENTS
'In 2024, biophilic design and creating healthier living spaces are poised to be prominent trends,' predicts Christine Marvin, Vice President of Strategy & Design at Marvin. To fully embrace this trend, consider decorating with plants, choosing natural color palettes and materials, or increasing natural light in your living areas.
4. INSTALLING AND REFINISHING WOODEN KITCHENS
The National Kitchen & Bath Association 2024 trend report revealed a growing demand for natural finishes in our kitchens, such as mid-toned woods paired with stone or marble worktops. So, it's hardly surprising that wooden kitchen cabinetry is predicted to dominate kitchen trends this year.
5. WALK-IN PANTRIES
A pantry is a sought-after feature for many homeowners, so why not make 2024 the year you repurpose your kitchen closet into a walk-in pantry?
Simply clear the kitchen closet and assess its layout. Install adjustable shelving for better storage, add hooks or racks for spices and dried goods, and improve visibility with an overhead light.
6. CROWN MOLDINGS
Crown moldings are a simple way of adding detail to your doors, walls, and cabinetry, as well as lending a sense of grandeur to interior spaces. In the past, wooden moldings were the primary option available, requiring precise cutting and assembly. However, modern alternatives to wood, such as foam moldings, are readily available. These versatile materials can be easily trimmed to size and affixed to walls and furniture, making the installation process a breeze.
7. DIY BUILT-IN BOOKSHELVES
The classic built-in bookshelf remains a popular choice for 2024, and it's easy to see why. With just a modest amount of DIY expertise, you can easily turn an ordinary bookshelf into a faux built-in feature that instantly elevates your home.
