Home Decor Lookbook: Everything Your Home is Missing

The 2024 lookbook you've been looking for is here.

The title might be deceiving - this might not be everything your home is missing (who knows, it could be), but it definitely will come close.

Read on for the 2024 home decor lookbook you've been waiting for.

L-Shaped Sofas

You're not living if you haven't spent a night (or day and night) snuggled into an L-shaped sofa. If anything, you spend so much time there because they're so difficult to get up from. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not.

We (and everyone else) love L-shaped sofas because they just fit so well into a room, especially in open-place layouts. And don't be fooled—so many people make the error of thinking L-shaped sofas will take up the entire room. Wrong. They come in all different sizes; you don't have to go for the massive ones that swallow you up. Do your measurements and find a sofa that fits your style and room.

Making a Statement

Who doesn't love making a statement? Well, actually, not everyone when it comes to interior decor. But our 2024 lookbook is full of statements. Utilitarian furniture has been good enough. Sculptures, unusual outlines, oversized floor lamps, Judaica wall art that pops with color - you need to look for anything that looks bold. And don't be fooled; bold can still be minimalistic; you don't need to overdo it.

These looks are created to attract attention and compliment the house without making it overbearing. Changing just a few decorative pieces gives a fresh note to the interior without feeling cluttered - we're not expecting you to break the bank.

Wallpaper is Back

Some of you might not be happy about that - but wallpaper is making a comeback. If you thought painting was bad, wallpapering is more of an acquired skill, let's call it that.

The one thing we do love about wallpaper is that you can be more creative. There are more patterns and styles that you can't replicate unless you have an artistic flair. And 2024 is all about bold colors and patterns, so wallpaper fits in perfectly on-trend.

The one suggestion we do have is to not go too crazy. The 2000s bold floral wallpaper print definitely isn't back in, but bold colors are. You can go for prints, but we wouldn't be too risky unless you've got a good sense of style and pick the right print. For example, striped prints can look incredible. And if you don't know what you're doing with wallpapering, you can always hire a handyman to do it for you, but there are plenty of videos online.

Lighting Trends: Brightening Up Your Space

The right lighting can make or break your interior design. For 2024, lighting is all about enhancing atmosphere while making a statement. Gone are the days of bland ceiling fixtures—now it’s time to consider lighting as a design element that can transform your space.

Statement Chandeliers: Forget traditional crystal chandeliers. Modern styles incorporate bold geometric shapes, matte black finishes, and even asymmetrical designs. They work particularly well in dining rooms, entryways, and above kitchen islands. A statement chandelier can act as a piece of art, drawing the eye and becoming the focal point of the room.

Oversized Floor Lamps: For living rooms and reading corners, oversized floor lamps are the way to go. Choose pieces with unique bases, such as sculptural shapes or mixed materials like marble and metal. These lamps not only illuminate but add height and elegance to the room.

Pendant Lights: Pendant lights are evolving into more versatile decor pieces. Clustered pendant lights over kitchen counters or dining areas add depth and dimension to your room. Consider glass globe pendants, brass fixtures, or textured rattan for a natural, modern look.

Smart Lighting Solutions: The integration of technology into decor is a growing trend. Smart lighting, where you can adjust brightness and color through an app or voice command, is becoming popular. Play around with different hues to create varied atmospheres in a single space.

LED Strip Lighting: Use LED strips under cabinets, along shelves, or even behind mirrors to add subtle mood lighting. This trend blends functionality with aesthetics, allowing you to highlight architectural details or create a soft glow that’s perfect for winding down.

In 2024, lighting is more than just a practical necessity—it’s a vital component of your overall aesthetic. Make lighting work for you by choosing fixtures that fit your home’s style and provide versatility.

Sustainable Decor: A Stylish Choice for 2024

As sustainability becomes a core value for homeowners, 2024 is seeing a surge in eco-friendly decor options. You no longer have to compromise style for sustainability. Today’s sustainable choices are as aesthetically pleasing as they are environmentally friendly.

Eco-friendly Materials: Look for furniture made from reclaimed wood, recycled metals, or bamboo. These materials not only reduce your carbon footprint but also add character and warmth to your space. Opt for organic textiles like cotton, linen, or wool, which offer durability and a soft touch.

Second-Hand Finds: One of the easiest ways to decorate sustainably is by repurposing. Vintage pieces are all the rage, with many designers using upcycled items as statement pieces. Think of antique mirrors, reupholstered chairs, or even vintage suitcases turned into stylish side tables.

Biophilic Design: Incorporating nature into your decor is another sustainable trend. From living plant walls to natural wood finishes, biophilic design is all about creating a calming, nature-inspired environment. Not only do these elements look beautiful, but they also promote wellness and relaxation.

Low-VOC Paints and Finishes: Pay attention to the products you’re using in your home. Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints and finishes release fewer toxins into the air, making them a healthier choice for your family. Choose from the wide range of colors and finishes now available to keep your home stylish and safe.

Sustainable decor is no longer a niche trend—it’s becoming the norm. With a growing number of brands focusing on eco-friendly products, you can easily incorporate sustainability into your 2024 home decor look.

Creating Your Personal Home Decor Lookbook for 2024

Feeling overwhelmed by all the trends? Don’t worry—you don’t have to incorporate every idea. One of the best ways to navigate the ever-changing world of home decor is to create your own personal lookbook. Here’s how to get started:

Gather Inspiration: Start by collecting images and ideas from various sources. This can include design magazines, Pinterest boards, Instagram posts, and home decor blogs. Save images that catch your eye, even if they don’t seem to fit together at first. Sometimes, the best ideas come from combining contrasting styles.

Identify Your Style: Look through your collected images and try to pinpoint common themes. Do you lean towards minimalism, or are you drawn to vibrant, eclectic styles? Do you prefer natural elements or more polished, industrial pieces? Recognizing your style preferences will help you narrow down what works for your space.

Create a Vision Board: Once you have a good amount of inspiration, organize your favorites into a vision board. You can do this digitally using tools like Canva, or go old-school by printing them out and creating a physical collage. Include color palettes, furniture, and decor items that speak to you. This will help you visualize your space and make it easier to see which pieces complement each other.

Room-by-Room Planning: Your lookbook should be more than just a collection of random ideas—it should have some structure. Break it down by rooms, focusing on the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and even outdoor spaces. For each area, identify key pieces that you want to highlight and how they’ll interact with the overall design theme.

Budget and Prioritize: While creating a lookbook is fun, it’s also practical. Make a note of high-priority items that will define the room’s style, such as a statement sofa, a chic dining table, or a standout piece of art. Then add lower-priority accessories that you can buy gradually, like cushions, throws, and decorative objects. This approach will help you stay on track financially while still achieving your dream look.

Make It Your Own: Your home should be a reflection of who you are. Don’t be afraid to go against the trends and mix in items that have sentimental value or reflect your personality. Whether it’s a quirky collection of travel souvenirs or a handmade quilt passed down through generations, these are the pieces that will make your space feel uniquely yours.

Creating a personal lookbook is the perfect way to capture your vision and guide your home decor decisions throughout the year. Remember, trends are just guidelines—the best interiors are the ones that feel like home.

Do you have your personal home decor lookbook for 2024? No matter where you look, you'll notice that variety is the spice of life. There are so many trends that it's tricky to keep up with them all. Shop around and see which one suits your style and taste - thankfully, in 2024, there's no way you won't find something you like on-trend.
