Top Home Designs Revealed: 50 Expert-approved Interior Design Ideas

Just by reading the title, we bet you imagined the most serene room. Green, the color of hope and calm, is a top pick for bedrooms and chill-out zones. Moreover, green is set to rule 2024 interiors. Floral and plant motifs are also taking the lead. Go for removable wallpaper adorned with tropical plants and carefully chosen artwork for a harmonious and peaceful space.

Create a sleek, modern room by mirroring what’s outside in the interior space. Opt for small mirrors around the room to amplify the amount of natural light coming from oversized windows. Use beige shades or white paint to make the room feel more spacious. This setup is a minimalist’s dream, which lets you vibe with the surrounding nature.

“Yellow isn't a color that usually comes to mind for your home, but when coupled with a sunny staircase decor, it makes this the most cheerful hallway ever,” suggests Klejni.

According to 1stDibs trends, there will be a sweet shift into cold shades like Robin’s Egg Blue, Tiffany Blue, and lighter turquoise tones. These shades of blue are perfect for creating a gender-neutral playroom for kids and teens. It’s also ideal for big rooms in which we want a color scheme that feels light but still adds depth to the overall decor.

Country and cottage styles will be less popular in 2024. However, this doesn't mean you can't create a stunning chic living room and feel that rustic charm. Decorating a vacation home is simple. Be as minimal as possible. Most importantly, add anything that makes your space feel cozy. Add rustic elements through natural textures and earthy tones, like wooden beams, reclaimed wood tables, woven baskets, small artsy statues (-14% off at the time of publishing!), and decorative vases.

Create a bright and spacious room with all-white walls and creamy colors for the furniture. “If you can make some edits in the home designs, add large windows for small spaces. This will create a sense of opening up a limited area, making it feel larger and more inviting. The white color scheme brings a sense of cleanliness, and is easily adaptable with the rest of the decor,” explains Klejni.

Be bold, experiment, and play around. “Beginner or not, soft colors never fail you. I’d go for neutral shades as they blend effortlessly together. Strong pops of colors can be overwhelming, on the other hand. Thus, don’t hesitate to request the help of a designer who is comfortable with blending shades, patterns, and textures,” suggests Klejni.

“Contrast is one of (personally, I’d say the most) powerful design tools. Nothing ever goes wrong with a strong contrasting decor. This lovely living room with wooden floors and a black backdrop highlighting the fireplace mantel is a great example. A real masterpiece that anyone can get creative enough to adapt to their place,” suggests Klejni.

“Is that furniture or artwork? Both. It’s comfy, easy to turn into a room’s centerpiece, and, most importantly, plays a huge functional role. The circular sofa is a must-have in modern home designs,” suggests Klejni. You can fit it in your guest’s room or at the end of the hall, next to the staircase.

Bohemian style is about bringing into the house your true colors and the most adventurous side of you. Combine natural materials (wood, rattan, plants), handmade pieces, and a mix of textures and patterns. Mixing and layering, from paisleys to bold geometric prints, is a characteristic of the boho style.

This is the opposite of being simple. According to 1stDibs, the maximalism style is one of the trending interior designs in 2024. Therefore, get ready to fill your space with bold colors, patterned textiles, and an assortment of artistic treasures. Feel the vibrant and eclectic world of maximalism by adding a mix of textures. “I’d personally mix and match different styles and eras. I’d go with velvet curtains, woven rugs, and luxurious chandeliers. In a maximalist house, every corner is part of a bigger puzzle of your self-expression,” says Klejni.

A good decor is a well-thought-out design that covers in detail every space in the house. Take your decor game (literally) sky-high by adding patterned wallpaper to the ceiling. Let your ceiling steal the spotlight, whether it’s a simple print, a bold geometric design, or a classic floral motif (-48% off at the time of publishing!).

Play with shapes that mimic classic arches and add the elegance of Victorian style. Whether you place them through arched doorways, mirrors, or furniture, they make your space feel elegant and timeless. Neutral colors emphasize the curves, so it’s better to use taupe or soft, beige shades.

Transform your bedroom by creating asymmetrical illusions. One way to do this is through shiplap installation. While horizontal boards exude contemporary vibes, flip the script with vertical shiplap for rooms with lofty ceilings. Embrace the asymmetry, let the lines play tricks on the eyes, and turn your bedroom into a modern space.

Go for a mid-century modern style with a neutral floor, walls, and wardrobe palette. Make your bed the centerpiece with warm walnut tones for the headrest, adding cozy country-style vibes. Splash a bold, complimentary color on one wall to bring out your unique personality.

"I suggest a minimalist room decor for a small attic space emphasizing a white and airy feeling. With its vaulted ceiling, which creates a striking sense of volume, and exposed structural collar ties, the space has a unique charm,” explains Klejni. Maximize the natural light by utilizing sheer curtains or blinds to enhance the brightness.

Striking elements like concealed strip lights interrupted by a large circular mirror are the perfect choice to highlight strong shapes and create an eye-catching focal point. Extend this modern style to the ceiling to further emphasize the contrast between smooth and harsh lines. “I suggest adding a big curved ceiling hidden behind a strong line to add a visually dynamic element to the space,” adds Klejni.

Transform your bedroom into a personal gallery exhibition celebrating your cherished family photos and meaningful memories. Customize a beautiful room that tells your unique story through artwork and pictures. Curate the perfect blend of frames and sizes, showcasing black-and-white prints. Combine this gallery-style decor with cozy throw pillows and blankets.

To create a bedroom decor that exudes luxury, focus on making the most of the available area. “I suggest designing a large window even at the first house plan drafts, so it floods the room with natural light, creating an open and airy atmosphere. Consider installing a wooden ceiling to add warmth and texture to the space,” explains Klejni. When it comes to colors, opt for bold and vibrant shades that add personality and make a statement.

Lighting is vital because pendants and chandeliers can quickly turn into focal points. “I’d personally choose modern lighting fixtures for offices, restaurants, and other interior designs for business purposes. I would go with something like this from Makhno studio for unusual pendants,” suggests Klejni.

Create a stylish and welcoming space with the trendiest materials and finishes of the upcoming year. Limewash is a popular choice because it gives the walls a soft, velvety appearance. If limewash isn't your thing, go for the warmth and earthy charm of ceramic, terra cotta accents, or blonde wood furniture and flooring. Add patterned wallpapers (-60% off at the time of publishing!) with irregular and curvy shapes to your decor, whether in furniture, mirrors, or shelving units. These playful silhouettes will help you add a touch of fine taste to your space.

With a monochromatic color scheme, you can create a visually impactful space that is attractive and easy to live in. Embrace the power of a single color and its different shades, tones, and tints. Use matching curtains, rugs, and furniture upholstery to create a cohesive look. Complete the decor with artwork, decorative pieces, and plants while playing with contrasting textures and finishes for a more exciting set.

The timeless elegance of the Scandinavian modernism style is best applied to bedroom design. However, thanks to this style’s simplicity, functionality, and natural beauty, we can all expect to see it in different house spaces. All it needs is a neutral color palette and minimalistic furniture with clean lines and organic shapes. Add ornament pieces from light-colored wood like birch or oak to enhance the Scandinavian house vibes.

This Urban home in Toronto shows a perfect example of creating a stunning chic living room with fewer elements. It’s a perfect example of a modern and minimalist design for the fireplace with a built-in wood storage area. Opt for clean lines and luxurious finishes in your furniture, combining plush fabrics with sleek accent chairs and modern wall decor.

Create a welcoming mid-century modern living room defined by rich walnut furnishings and earthy tones. Complement it with exposed brick walls and playful terrazzo tiles. Klejni also suggests creating a cozy corner adorned with two classical armchairs from that era.

“This is all about combining the right materials and natural light intentionally. Let the light guide your design. There are plenty of beautiful indoor plants, leather furniture, and armchairs to add a more bohemian look,” explains Klejni.

Duo-toned spaces always create stunning decor that feels elegant regardless of the year on the calendar. Klejni is a fan of a striking black-and-white design, especially for the dining area or kitchen space. “Let the kitchen island or a long dining table be the black centerpiece in a pure white backdrop. The kitchen is the (black) heart of the home. That’s where life happens.” explains Klejni.

“While renovating your urban home, crisp white lines and molded baseboards are usually a great combination to contrast old and new. A nice leather sofa from the middle of the past century and a dark, slick fireplace complete the space. White walls bring in the minimalist trends of modern decor nowadays. However, for a touch of urban life, I’d go for a removable wallpaper that mimics natural stones on the walls,” adds Klejni.

1stDibs last word about colors trending in 2024 highlights the use of chocolate brown and earthy tones. Hence, neutral shades and earthy colors are officially timeless. There’s a wide variety of room designs you can choose from using different taupe shades and combinations.

Klejni suggests adding sight lines for huge long halls or open spaces in offices or living rooms. A modern approach to decorating open spaces is alternating between compression and depression (ceiling/floor height) and introducing unusual and alternate sight lines. It’s the only element that helps you show or hide certain aspects and angles of your house.

“Being able to open up your whole rear wall during those warm summer days and having a seamless indoor/outdoor space with lantern lights doesn't come cheap, but if you have the means to do it, you won’t regret it,” suggests Klejni.

Create a cozy breakfast nook in warm oak and walnut. Position your cozy nook next to large windows for ample natural light. Wood dining tables and chairs with matchy, colorful pillows and curtains create a typical and inviting breakfast nook design.

Transform your basement or storage space into a functional and stylish haven with a creative decor idea. Consider converting it into a cozy home office, gym, or guest room. Maximize the available space by utilizing smart storage solutions and modular furniture. Add warmth and character by choosing inviting color schemes, comfortable seating, and stylish lighting.

Create a beautiful second home outdoors by building a pergola in your backyard. Adorn the pergola with string lights and climbing vines, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for lovely summer nights. Arrange comfortable seating and a dining area beneath it, making it a gathering spot for family and friends.

New additions or edits in the existing building are always a cool home design idea. In this image, we see a triangular-shaped window as a special spot. It’s designed this way as a matchy spot of the existing shape of the roof, but it steals the show with the big window. You can create a reading nook or a home office space by putting a desk there.

“The courtyard is perfect for winding down after a busy day. You don’t need much: an intimate space, a place to sit next to the fireplace, and a touch of nature with beautiful plants. I’d suggest using wood decking for your outdoor decor. It's practical and visually pleasing.” adds Klejni.

This is all about bringing cave walls indoors. You can pleasantly live in cave-themed decor thanks to rough and rustic textures and finishes, dark, bold colors, and an added modern touch (furniture and ornaments) here and there. Real stone tiles for the walls and wooden floors are the tricks in such interior design.

Double-height spaces can be tricky if you’re renovating, but they’re a must-have if you’re building your home from scratch. They create unusual perspectives, making rooms feel more extensive and adding to a more pleasant experience overall.

You don’t need a huge backyard to enjoy some open air. A small enclosed balcony with glazed sliding doors can serve as a perfect in-between space. This space that imitates a home bar is ideal for an after-work drink.

See that awkward concrete column near the corner? It might seem like wasted space, but it can be transformed into a fantastic element in your kid’s bedroom. Complement it with built-in furniture, and you have created a free entertainment spot for hours.

Empty corners can improve or worsen your overall decor. Turn that empty corner into something useful. You can create a cozy reading nook with vibrant geometric wall art complemented by sleek floating shelves adorned with succulents and LED fairy lights.

Go with a mid-century modern theme for your bathroom. This is an excellent example of mixing a walnut vanity piece, and round-edge mirrors with a white mosaic tiled wall.

Try a mix of round-edged mirrors, bronze fixtures, long copper light pendants, and strong black-and-white patterns. Being bold with your home designs leads to stunning and unique decor ideas.

It is a bright and minimalist space that’s all about Zen vibes. Bring nature in with the big mirrors. “I’d suggest sleek, neutral gray tiles for a modern yet calming touch. This space is the epitome of soaking in contemporary, stylish decor,” says Klejni.

“Well, matte is matte! It’s often considered the last name of a luxurious space. In this restroom, we’ve paired the toilet with black tiles and gray walls for a moody and intimate space,” explains Klejni.

Books can enhance your space more than you think. Add stylish shelving units into your home, across the hall, on the staircase’s wall, or simply in the living room. Go for sleek, open shelves to showcase your favorite books, art pieces, or other decor items. Play with different shapes and sizes for an eclectic vibe, or keep it uniform for a clean, modern look.

You don't need to be a fan of Gothic style to benefit from the dramatic and luxurious look of black-painted walls. Whether you’re into vibrant artwork, metallic accents, or a burst of colors, black creates a stunning contrast. Pair it with bold furniture or vibrant accessories to let your style shine against the darkness. “It’s not just a color; it’s a mood,” says Klejni.

Turn your house into a symphony of style by matching every room’s decor. Consider it an entire space project where each room is a unique piece of the design puzzle. For example, you can seamlessly combine a dark blue hall with a light blue bedroom. It’s not just about decorating the house. It’s about crafting a visual masterpiece with a harmonious design of the rooms.

Transform your space from the ground up with a stunning floor. Consider laying down beautiful rugs with vibrant patterns. Making your floor a visual masterpiece will create a statement in the room. Whether it’s a bold Persian rug or a chic modern carpet, let your floor be the canvas that ties the entire room together.

Open, airy space with high-end furniture oozes luxury. Install oversized windows that let natural light in. Adorn your walls with wall art pieces, turning them into windows to an artistic dimension.
