As the colder months approach, I’m excited to share the winter trends that have captured my heart this season. Each trend feels like it was made to create warmth and comfort at home—perfect for this time of year, and they will last well into 2025.
Here’s a closer look at my favourite winter interior design trends for 2024, and hopefully, they’ll inspire you to bring a little seasonal magic into your space, too.
Cottagecore chic
Cottagecore chic brings that rustic, countryside charm indoors with a palette of sage greens, dusty pinks, and warm terracotta tones. Think floral prints, vintage vases brimming with wildflowers, and those little touches that make a space feel like home—like a hand-knitted blanket over a well-loved armchair.
It’s all about slowing down, appreciating the simple moments, and surrounding yourself with things that feel personal and unique.
Warm earthy tones
Nothing says winter quite like rich, earthy hues. This season, deep ochres, terracottas, and olive greens are everywhere, adding depth and warmth to any space. These tones are beautiful for living rooms, kitchens, or even feature walls to add a bold, cozy touch.
For those who like a little edge, pair these with accents in aubergine or mustard yellow for an unexpected twist. And for anyone feeling adventurous—consider colour drenching a smaller room in one of these tones for an enveloping, inviting feel that’s both stylish and comforting.
Layered textures and fabrics
Winter is all about creating a cosy cocoon, and nothing does this better than layers of soft, textured fabrics. Velvet, boucle, faux fur—this trend invites you to pile on the textures for ultimate comfort and warmth. Imagine sinking into a plush velvet sofa surrounded by soft, layered cushions and chunky knit throws on a chilly day!
It’s a luxurious yet inviting look, perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Start with a neutral base and layer in textures as you go; don’t be afraid to mix different fabrics for a visually interesting and touch-friendly space.
Nostalgic vintage vibes
Finally, I’m loving the nostalgic vintage vibes that are making a comeback this winter. From mid-century modern furniture to Art Deco accents, it’s a nod to timeless design that feels fresh and chic. Think classic chesterfield sofas in unexpected colours or vintage-inspired wooden furniture with brass detailing. Get into your loft and garage and see what old furniture you have that you could give a new lease of life too.
For a contemporary twist, balance vintage pieces with modern lighting or artwork for an eclectic look that feels both familiar and fresh.
Each of these trends brings its own unique warmth and charm to a home. I hope they spark some inspiration and ideas for creating a space that feels like a sanctuary this winter. Let me know which trend resonates with you most—I’d love to help you bring it to life in your home!
