Warm Browns
“Our favorite decorating trend of 2024 has been the use of warm browns as a dominant color in a home palette! We love the sophistication, warmth, and interest that brown adds to a space. Brown has an elegance and fee; effortlessly chic feel, in particular when layered with tonal colors. We strive for our spaces to feel restorative and easy to be in and brown is such an inviting and friendly color that truly levels up any space. We have been loving bringing in more red/purple-based browns into our daring clients’ spaces, in particular dining rooms.” —Carly Shafiroff, Owner and Principal Designer, Carly Jane Design
“I love the return to wallpaper and wall texture. For a while, the world was all about neutrals and safe beige looks and I’m excited to see that people are embracing wallpaper and different paint textures again. In 2025, we plan to do a lot with limewash, Roman clay, and wallpapers. There are so many great options and products out there and we are making it feel current by experimenting with new patterns, murals, and color combinations.” —Hema Persad, Founder & Principal Designer, Sagrada Studio
