As we step into the new year, Pinterest has once again unveiled its trend predictions for 2024, offering a fresh perspective on home decor. In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can incorporate three of these exciting trends—Kitch-ens, Western Gothic, and CafeCore—into your home, creating a space that reflects the latest in interior design.

Trend #1: Kitschens

The Kitschens trend brings a playful and whimsical touch to kitchen decor, encouraging the incorporation of kitchy accessories that infuse character and charm into the heart of your home. Think bold colors, quirky patterns, and unconventional shapes.  It’s a great way to bring in a statement wall art piece, or follow a YouTube tutorial to wallpaper your appliances.  And don’t forget that retro wall color!  PRO TIP: Kitch is a fun trend but may not have a lot of staying power.  Consider bringing the fun with fridge magnets, kitchen gadgets and unique linens. 

Trend #2: Western Gothic

Western Gothic combines the mysterious allure of dark hues with a touch of western charm. This trend invites you to embrace deep, moody colors and rustic elements to create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and dramatic. Think dark accent walls, rustic furniture and vintage accents touched up with a splash of dark paint.  PRO TIP: Dark doesn’t always mean black!  This is a great theme to bring in hunter greens, navies and deep chocolate browns.

Trend #3: CafeCore

For coffee enthusiasts, CafeCore is the perfect trend to bring the cozy ambiance of a coffee shop into your home. Transform a corner of your space into a dedicated coffee bar by stocking it with all the essentials like a quality espresso machine, grinder, and coffee maker to create a functional and stylish coffee station. Don’t forget your favorite mugs, coffee beans, and syrups for a personalized touch!  PRO TIP:  Really set your bar over the top with soft lighting, like a fun pendant light or string of bistro bulbs.

BONUS TIP: One tenant at the forefront of several of Pinterest’s predictions this year is upcycling, reducing waste and being eco-conscious. Vintage instead of new, quality instead of fast-fashion.  It’s a great step forward for 2024!
