6 color trends - and a bonus you will love in
Which interior color trends will emerge and shine in our homes in 2024?
At Frenchic, we predict you will see a variety of enchanting shades that promise to transform our homes into cozy and personal sanctuaries.
Did you know that we introduce new seasonal shades every year and that our award-winning collection is actively renewed?
This year, we will especially see increased use of brown both in wall paints and in furniture and kitchen cabinet neutral color palettes.
Additionally, we are increasingly drawn to muted colors, such as the calmness of grayish subdued hues, the timeless appeal of familiar blue shades, the tranquility of soft pastels, and the energy of bold, vibrant tones. A new favorite now is all smoky shades.
Cool gray-whites, especially the so-called painter's whites, are giving way to soft creams and light beige tones.
Explore with us these trends that reflect our unique taste and our efforts to offer you a stunning color palette.
Welcome to a colorful journey where each shade beautifully highlights our home and tells its own story.
1. The Renaissance of Brown
Brown colors hold an important place in interior design and symbolize warmth and sophistication. These shades, ranging from rich espresso tones like Liquorish to soft earthy hues like Swayed, Pampas and Moleskin, create an inviting atmosphere in living spaces and add elegance to, for example, dining areas and home offices.
The versatility of brown is its main advantage this year. It pairs well with many different colors, making it perfect for both cozy spaces and stylish interiors. As we look for colors that make our homes personal sanctuaries, the comforting and luxurious nature of brown makes it an essential part of this year's color palette. We especially highlight the Dangerous Dave and Donkey Derby shades, featuring chocolate brown and light latte tones.
2. Muted, softened shades with gray, even smoky tones
The megatrend is moving towards subdued, smoky, and gray-toned interior colors that balance subtlety and depth.
Shades like heather-containing Velvet Crush and versatile blue-green shades Calming Carol, Jitterbug, and Scotch Mist, lead this trend, offering a calm yet impactful presence in any space.
These shades are perfect for creating a peaceful environment with a contemporary touch. Take, for example, the stunning smoky green; Steaming Green. They are excellent for spaces requiring tranquility, such as kitchens, bedrooms, and workrooms, adding sophistication to living areas. Thanks to their versatility, they blend seamlessly with various interior styles and textures, fitting personalized interior design.
The subdued colors of 2024, featuring gray nuances, are a lifestyle choice for spaces that are both serene and stylish, embodying a calm yet modern aesthetic.
3. Familiar blues with a twist - blue shades are making a comeback!
We are witnessing a resurgence of familiar blue shades, now with an intriguing twist. Shades like blueberry blue Smooth Operator and sky blue Ol' Blue Eyes, characterized by their smoky or gray undertones, make a significant impact.
The gray-blue Seagull and Gentlemen's Club shades bring a new perspective to traditional blue, adding depth and sophistication.
These blue colors are incredibly versatile, easily pairing with both warm and cool tones, making them favorites among designers and homeowners alike.
They create harmony – perfect for crafting peaceful bedrooms, calming living spaces, or even inspiring office environments.
4. Pastel colors and soft shades: subtle elegance
This year offers a delightful selection of pastel colors and soft shades, such as Sweetcheeks gentle Italian pink and the muted pink shades of Dusky Blush and Rosy Dusk.
These stunning shades add a touch of tranquility and sophistication to interiors, making them perfect for creating peaceful environments in bedrooms, children's rooms, or relaxation areas.
Their subdued shades blend seamlessly with various interior styles, bringing calmness and understated elegance to spaces.
These pastel colors are ideal for combining with natural materials, enhancing the aesthetics of any room by offering timeless charm.
5. Energy and style with bold colors
The vitality of bold colors is a central theme this year.
Shades like electric blue Kiss Me Sloely, fresh turquoise Santorini, raspberry red Raspberry Punch, heather-toned Velvet Crush, and delicious pink Macaroon are perfect for bringing a dynamic energy boost to any room.
The warm honey yellow Honeycombe is a perfect interior shade, whether you want to paint the ceiling, wooden floor, walls, or panels.
These colors are ideal when you want to create statement pieces or accent walls that captivate and energize.
Reds, greens, and turquoises bring a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere, making them suitable for spaces where creativity and vitality are desired, such as living rooms, home offices, or entertainment areas.
Thanks to their bold character, they stand out, but they can be balanced with neutral shades to create a harmonious overall design.
6. The versatility of greens
Green color in all its shades remains a popular choice, and its wide spectrum varies beautifully from almost neutral, earthy tones like Olivia to deeper, smoky shades like Steaming Green.
These greens are praised for their ability to bring natural tones indoors and create a calming and refreshing atmosphere.
Pastel aqua Breezing or spring green Green With Envy are a fresh backdrop for any interior and combine beautifully with many traditional wallpaper patterns.
A darker earthy green shade like Constance Moss's is excellent for spaces where you want to create a connection to nature and a grounded feeling.
These shades work well in living rooms, bedrooms, and even kitchens, as they offer a refreshing yet comforting atmosphere. Green suits both retro-inspired and modern interiors.
On the other hand, smoky green shades like Steaming Green or the almost black Black Forest are more dramatic and sophisticated, suitable for spaces that need depth and character.
As a bonus, mega-trendy cream shades and light beiges
White is set to give way along with gray in the 2024 interior designers' color palette - soft natural whites are coming!
Instead of painter's white, use soft natural whites and cream shades like Yorkshire Rose and Parshment. Light beiges like Pampas, linen shades Bunnikins and Stone in Loveare sure color choices for timeless interiors.
