Leaning In: Navigating 2024’s Hottest Home Trends

As professional Sydney interior designers, the team at Sunbeam Studio closely tracks emerging style movements to keep our clients on the refined cutting edge. 2024 looks to embrace relaxed refinement through tactile yet casual spaces that promote calm and connection.

  1. Organic Earthenware - Natural clay, stone and rattan surfaces lend cosy character. Terracotta floor tiling and textured ceramic backsplashes link interiors to earthy landscapes. Woven lamp shades and furniture integrate organic texture to balance sleek lines with artisanal warmth… the possibilities are practically endless!

2. Floating Wood Vanities - Suspending wooden sink consoles minimises visual bulk for airier bathrooms with hidden plumbing and storage. This elongates legs optically to amplify spaciousness and easy cleaning underneath. Floating vanities make petite powder rooms feel instantly more grand.



3. Vintage Accent Pieces - Distressed icons like painted armoires, textured rugs or carved display items relay timeworn stories. Infuse your home with heritage by adding characterful secondhand shop finds. Display collected or inherited antiquities in personalised vignettes.



4. Warm-Toned Palettes - Deeper beiges, browns and ochres surround in steady comfort, balancing crisp white trims. Move away from stark monochromatic schemes into nourishing hues emulating nature like sand, desert, timber and stone.



5. Indoor/Outdoor Lounge Spaces - Blending outdoor seating vignettes around fireplaces alongside interior living zones erases dividing lines. Open walls entirely or craft windowed sunrooms to visually connect outside greenery tranquility with plush couches and conversation nooks.

6. Textured Wall Treatments From 3D panels or grasscloth wallpaper to exposed brick backsplashes, tactile dimension dazzles. Adorn hallways or bedroom focal walls with artistic relief adding modern intricacy. Glossy tiles make way for honed finishes and hand-pressed motifs with artisanal allure!



7. Gold Metal Finishes Brass, copper and gold infuse glamour as accents everywhere from faucets to floor lamps. Metallics inject vibrant character, playing beautifully with natural woodgrains and black accents. Opt for living finishes like unlacquered brass that gracefully patinas over time.


8. Custom Concrete Effects Staining or imprinting concrete imitates luxe looks like marble or limestone for budget. Retain industrial rawness cementing unique mottling, movement and veining embellishments. Buff and polish into sleek floors with stunning painted, dyed or inlaid aggregate designs.
