Things We Love in 2024—All Things Housing, Decor, and Denton
Hey there, trendsetter! Ready to revamp your space and make it the talk of Little D, or maybe even take advantage of these interest rate drops and get a brand new space for 2024? Then let’s dive into some of the hottest home and decor trends this side of the Rio Grande.
From bold colors to sustainable materials and everything in between, there are tons of decor and design elements and ideas popping off this year that will freshen up your living spaces, transform your home into your sanctuary, and keep your wallet happy along the way.
On top of that, we’ll talk about some of the amazing things happening in Denton this year (and really, is there ever a time when cool things aren’t happening in Denton?).
Buckle up trendsetter—Chrissy your #DentonRealtor is here to spill the tea on the latest and greatest in North Texas.
Key Home Decor Trends for 2024
Welcome to the future, where minimalism meets the unexpected. One of the key home decor trends for 2024 is a mix of simple designs with unexpected elements. Think streamlined furniture with quirky accents or a classic color scheme with a bold statement wall.
Another trend making waves is the increased emphasis on sustainability. Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs are not just trendy—they're also a way to show Mother Nature some love. It's time to say hello to bamboo furniture, solar-powered lamps, and indoor plants galore (and goodbye to gloomy, over-industrialized spaces).
On top of that, layered bedroom design is all the rage these days. Everything from the master to the kids’ rooms is getting the attention it deserves with a focus on warm tones and layers to create a sanctuary you never want to leave. Think throws, pillows, wallpaper, and artwork designed to create a serene personal haven.
Finally, the embrace of technology in our living spaces continues to grow. From smart home systems to futuristic furniture designs, technology is seamlessly blending into our decor, making our homes more comfortable and convenient.
Now that interest rates are starting to fall, there’s never been a better time to pick out a new home that’s taking advantage of these trends—and of course, Chrissy your #DentonRealtor is here to help you pick the home of your dreams.
Color Trends in Home Decor for 2024
Now, let's talk colors. In 2024, it’s all about playing with contrasts. Expect to see a lot of bold, vibrant shades juxtaposed with soft, calming hues. For instance, radiant orchid might be coupled with soft sage, or a splash of electric blue might be softened by warm, earthy browns.
A trend that's making a strong comeback is the use of pastels. Pastel shades bring a sense of calm and serenity, making them perfect for spaces like the bedroom or study area. But don't think these soft hues are boring—pair them with metallic accents or bold patterns for a chic modern look.
And for those who love a bit of drama, black is making a big splash. Whether used on walls, furniture, or accessories, black adds depth and sophistication to any space. But remember, balance is key. Pair black with lighter shades to prevent your space from feeling too dark or overwhelming.
Big Things Happening in Little D
As always, there are big events going down in Little D all year long, so clear your schedule, grab the fam, and get ready to hit the town.
First and foremost, the Denton Black Film Festival is going down in just a few days—on January 24th, check out some of the latest and greatest art centered on Black Culture made by Black creators local to DFW. Enjoy movies, music, spoken word, and more for 4 entire days (and another week virtually).
Ready to get outdoors once this cold spell snaps? Then check out the upcoming Outdoor Expo by Denton Parks and Recreation. There will be tons of workshops, activities, and vendors to explore while you get the kiddos out into the hopefully-not-too-crisp air!
Finally, check out the “spellbinding performances” of the Chicago-based quartet Third Coast Percussion as they team up with Movement Art Is at the University of North Texas on January 30th. This eclectic mix of music and motion is sure to delight and awe kids and adults alike.
There’s always WAY more going on in Denton than I can list here, so check out the Discover Denton calendar to see all the awesome events happening in 2024.
Transformed Home, Transformed Life
And there you have it—a glimpse into the future that’s just around the corner. Let these trends inspire you to make some big changes this year, and make sure you get out into Little D to take advantage of the unique events our town has to offer.
