  Concealed Technology

  

  "This is not the most attention-grabbing trend, but I personally will be making a big attempt to conceal my tech (in particular in my bedroom). Designers agree that TVs are an eyesore, and cords running down the wall or along the floor just automatically look cluttered to me. I see hiding cords as being a part of 2024's greater design trends of connecting to nature and cozy opulence." —Jenny Hughes, senior editor

  Whimsical Details

  

  "In 2024, I'm pushing towards whimsical details since it allows people to create a more curated and personal style in their home. I've personally found that the more I bring in what I like, colors, patterns, and shapes, I've been able to create a home I truly love to be in." —Sara Brown, associate social media editor

  Bringing the Outdoors In

  

  "I am not really outdoorsy (can't really handle a hike, could never handle a night camping) but I do love nature and being outside. Bringing the outdoors in is a trend I absolutely want to incorporate into my own home this year. Embrace what your home naturally does to connect you to the outdoors, like gorgeous windows or a bright sunroom, and add elements like plants and nature-inspired colors to really add that naturalistic feel." —Mia Ingui, editor

  More Color

  

  "I've been an avid color lover since I was young (I wish you could've seen my hot pink zebra ceilings), so I'm excited for others to welcome more color into their space and choose color palettes that make them feel good. Although I have a completely off-white room, my space is beaming with color through my poster gallery wall, windowsill, and storage units. Depending on the type of mood you want to evoke, pick colors that reflect how you want to feel." —Jane Kim, associate editor

  Secondhand Sourcing

  

  "I've never been the biggest fan of thrifting and I honestly don't know why. I recently went to a thrift shop with a friend who swears by thrifting home decor and furniture and I don't think I can look back. I'm trying to acquire more staple pieces rather than decor based on short-lived trends and thrifting is 100% the way to go—and cost-effective too! I plan on thrifting little bits and bobbles here and there (and maybe some furniture) to give my space a bit more of an eclectic personality." —Aliyah Rodriguez, associate editor

  "To be clear, thrifting is not a fad for me! It's something I do multiple times a week so to see that it's being endorsed as a trend this year is really exciting. Recently, I've been focusing on thrifting smaller accessories like vases, candlestick holders, boxes, and frames to add to my mantel and built-in bookshelves. I like bringing together items from different time periods and cultures to build a completely new design story." —Candace Madonna, senior visual editor

  Moody, Dark Colors

  

  "I love white and neutrals have their place, but if I could choose, I'd opt for moody and dark colors any day. Olive and forest green, jewel-toned blue-greens, and even black are making their way into our homes this year and I couldn't be happier. There's something so cozy about them, and they make you feel like you're wrapped up in a warm hug. To dip your toes into this trend, try an accent pillow or a duvet cover. Or, if you want to really go for it, an accent wall is never a bad idea." —Kate McKenna, senior editor

  Blending Eras

  

  "All of my apartments in NYC have been exclusively pre-war (meaning built before World War II), so I've always been a fan of the beautiful design that comes with those. Whether I'm living in an Art Deco-style studio with curved walls from the 1920's or my current 1-bedroom in a Victorian-era brownstone with lots of dark wood accents, my furniture has always been a mix of eras. I've paired a Scandinavian-style light wood bedframe with a metal nightstand and a midcentury modern couch with an Art Deco-inspired coffee table. The result? A place that feels wholly my own." —Caroline Utz, Editorial & Strategy Director
