2024 Interior Design Trends – Part 2
Welcome to Part 2 of the 2024 Interior Design Trends. If you missed Part 1 you can catch it here. I intentionally split the two blog posts into a more Neutral Palette in Part 1 and Part 2 is more about colorful and over the top trends. So, there’s something for everyone. But like I always say, take these trends with a grain of salt and do you boo. Do what makes you feel good about your home and surroundings.
2024 Interior Design Trends – Part 1
I’m so excited to tell you about the Interior Design Trends for 2024 since so much of what I love is trending. Now, I’m not one to follow the trends too closely because I believe that you love what you love and who cares if it’s not trending. But this time, there’s so much goodness and I’m sure you’ll agree.
Atlanta Holiday Home – Part 2
This is Part 2 of the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine Holiday Home. If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, you can see it here. This house gave me so many design ideas not only for the holidays but interior design lightbulb moments.
Everywhere you looked there were trees and presents. It made for a very festive home, which was the whole point. Haha I’ve long been a proponent of not just decorating your living room for the holidays. Try decorating every single room even if it’s just a bowl of ornaments. Trust me, it’ll lift your spirits so much.
Atlanta Holiday Home – Part 1
This is my third year in a row going to the Holiday Home sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine and it didn’t disappoint. I have to break it down into two parts because the house was huge. Located in the Chastain Park area of Atlanta, we had to park at the horse park and get shuttled over to the house. It was raining while we were waiting and even with two shuttles it took over thirty minutes to finally get to the house. I would definitely recommend taking an Uber directly to the house the next time so you don’t have to wait. Even if it wasn’t raining, which was miserable, it’s no fun waiting.
The Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles 2023 Serenbe Showhouse – Part 2
I went to the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine Showhouse in the Serenbe community just South of Atlanta. As usual it was a fun trip and the countryside was gorgeous with the leaves changing. There were two townhouses this year and I wrote about the first townhouse in my previous post here.
The Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles 2023 Serenbe Showhouse – Part 1
On a gorgeous Fall day, I took my annual trip to see the Serenbe Showhouse. It’s about 45 minutes from my house and it was a nice drive in the country once I got off the highway. This year they did something a little different. Instead of a single family home, they took two side by side townhouses and enlisted the help of several interior designers to decorate each one. If you didn’t see the one last year, here’s the blog post. Since I had twice the amount of photographs, I decided to break up the post into two parts. This will be Part 1.
The 2024 Colors of the Year
Although color is subjective, color trend forecasters have been predicting what colors are going to be big every year since Color marketers base these colors on what’s being introduced in the areas of fashion, furniture, automobiles and other industries. Pantone started the color of the year in 1999 and every year since then it’s been the leader in predicting color trends in our global culture and how to express what people are looking for with color .
Banquette Seating is Cozy This Fall
Banquette seating in a home is one of my favorite things. It creates a cozy arrangement that not only looks good, but saves space and can be installed virtually anywhere. Not just for kitchens anymore, people are using this for dining rooms, lounges, libraries, rec rooms and anywhere you want to be able to sit down and eat, read or just have drinks.
Fall Decor Ideas You’ll Love
I have been waiting for the longest summer ever to end because here in Atlanta, it was sweltering with humidity, mosquitoes and scorching sun. It just tires you out and this one was hotter than it’s been in years if you’ve been watching the news. I can feel it, can’t you? It’s Fall ya’ll and I’m digging it. The slight nip in the air, the longing for a pumpkin spice latte and the football players gearing up for a great season; it’s the most wonderful time of the year. I love Fall in all its glory.
Fall 2023 Fashion and Décor Trends – Part 2
This is Part 2 of the Fall 2023 Trends. If you didn’t see Part 1, check it out here. I am breaking down all of the Design Trends in fashion and interiors for Fall. Some of them were surprising and some of them were just a continuation of what’s been happening all year and even last year. Like most trends, you can take them with a grain of salt or put your twist on them to make it your own. It’s good to see what the trendsetters are thinking about and if you’re like me, wondering how they can all land on the same trends at the same time. Makes you go hmmm.
