Every December we make a list of resolutions that we want to achieve during the new year. At the same time, at least some of us also try to guess what is going to happen in our lives. And the internet is one of those platforms for guessing about newness.

At the end of 2023, Pinterest made a whole list of their predictions and new and trendy things that will dominate everyone’s lives in 2024.

Slowcation

Slowcation

Instead of booking overly busy vacations, in 2024 people will tend to book slowcations - vacations, where they can actually rest their bodies. “More lazy mornings in bed!” can be called a motto for the new year.

I approve. I hate being rushed on vacation and prefer going somewhere for a whole month and exploring things at my own pace. After one of those 2 days here 1 day here, etc running around holidays I'd probably need a vacation just to recuperate.

Having worked retail the last few years & now from a position with a lot more responsibility & demand, I need an effing sabbatical. The level of entitlement from people has gone next level. I'm down for a slowcation!

No they won't. People will do the same mix of stuff they have been doing since forever and the media will chose a thing to focus on and claim that is what everyone is doing. Same as most years. Though I do think people being broke will contribute to more lower key vacations for those who can afford a vacation.

This. People who enjoy this type of vacation will continue to do so, and vice versa. I certainly won't be changing my vacation preferences because someone said they're not trendy anymore.

Just went on vacation to Costa Rica over Thanksgiving and both my husband and I agreed not to load it with excursions. We booked one and that was perfect. Got to leave the resort, see the actual country and meet the awesome citizens. Seriously, Costa Ricans are my favorite people from any of the vacations ever! Anyhoo the rest if the vacation we slept in, spent the day at the pools and swimming in the ocean, sun tanning and enjoying the delicious food. No rushing to get from one place to another. It's my favorite vacation ever. So relaxing. Just what we needed!

    One Person's Trash Is Another Person's Treasure

    One Person's Trash Is Another Person's Treasure

    2024 will be a sustainability year. As of 2023, the search for ways to use leftover wood scraps for do-it-yourself projects went up by a whopping +1,220%, while the search for ways to use up other kinds of waste materials from craft works went up by +140%. That suggests that the interest for such projects will be even higher in the new year.

    And it involves not only DIY but food as well, as the searches in 2023 show that a search for leftover recipes went up by +165%.

    Jazz Revival

    Jazz Revival

    In 2024 electronic beats will be replaced by a blast from the past - vintage jazz. And it won’t be only in music, as it will also touch fashion and interior design. This possible trend was suggested by the rise of searches such as jazz aesthetic clothing (+180%), piano jazz (+105%), and many other similar ones.

    They say the party always moves to the kitchen. But sometimes, the kitchen is the party. This year, Gen X and Boomers will spruce up their cooking areas with thrifted finds, vintage appliances and jarring pops of paint. No minimalist aesthetic is safe.

    The thing is, "decorated kitchens" are only practical if you have a larger kitchen and/or don't use your kitchen for very much. Small (read slightly more affordable) places usually don't have much extra counter space for stuff you don't need and if you cook a lot things tend to get a very fine layer of dust and oil on them. Doesn't build up on things you are routinely using / cleaning but can build up on the little nick knack decoration that just sits there.

    There are plenty of things that can go on walls, including shelves to hold vintage and decorative stuff, and plants if there’s enough natural light.

    Cafécore

    Cafécore

    Apparently, in 2024 we are going to see the rise of at-home coffee stations, which will replace people’s trips to coffee shops. And these at-home coffee stations are going to be no joke - they will include nearly everything you can wish for - from various types of coffee to even some coffee shop decor like chalk signs. And Pinterest dubs it as “Cafécore.”

    Higher cost up front, but supposedly saves over time --you aren't burning gas to go to Starbucks, reusable coffee cups, and coffee the way you like it. No worries though if you don't want to make your own coffee, I suspect there will always be coffee shops.

    I smell a marketing machine. "People are struggling financially and we expect a downturn in buying coffee out. Let's capitalize on that and convince people the hot new thing is buying a bunch of coffee accessories for your house". == PSA: You can have good 'near espresso' at home for under 100 bucks. Affordable decent quality beans from Costco (or wherever). A decent coffee grinder (min was under $30 at Costco). A stovetop Italian coffee maker. I have a couple I got at garage sales for under $5. If you like cream and flavor syrup - see if you have a local restaurant supply store. (I even make my own avocado toast - haha)

Different kinds of sugar substitutes, grinder, foam maker everything!

    Futuristic Vibe

    Futuristic Vibe

    Cool silver tones and bold chrome are the colors that are becoming popular right now, which will make melty metallics take center stage in 2024, as they will replace neutral metallics in jewelry, fashion, and decor. This was assumed as "nail art metallic," went +295% in searches in 2023, along with increased search for aluminum door designs and silver necklaces layered.

    This seems a bit vague. The slang "groovy" originated in the 1920s and the internet tells me "Groovy (or, less commonly, groovie or groovey) is a slang colloquialism popular during the 1950s, '60s and '70s." I can personally recall it from the 60s/70s. However the timing is about right. Many fashion type things tend to follow a 50 year (or so?) cycle. Like wait long enough and old thing feels new to younger people.

    Of course, there will be clothing/accessory manufacturers who take the style to its most ludicrous extreme, and will totally c**p up perfectly good designs with way too many bows, none of which can be removed without damaging the cloth and making the item unwearable, and leave people who want to find a simple unadorned shirt, dress, or pair of pants totally out in the cold. Clothing will be buried in bows, yet STILL have NO goddamned useable POCKETS!

    It is predicted that youth will start moving away from neutral tones to something bolder, which soon will conquer nail art and makeup looks.
