Trends 2024 | The colors of our decors

Our environments will not tolerate any aggression. The time has come for soothing, tender, slightly mysterious decors, in which unexpected and personalized alliances of colors are formed. This painting finds its inspiration in an enveloping nature. He extracts blues, greens, but above all earthy tones in all variations of the clay. With a hint of cream to soften them, we obtain velvety shades which, like a deep breath of air, lead to new horizons in decoration.

Skin tones

The Pantone color of the year never goes unnoticed. It is to be expected that the design world will be influenced by the soft, velvety tones of Peach Fuzz (13-1023 TCX) in the coming months. Like the Templeton Pink (NOT^o 303) from Farrow & Ball or from Tender Cocoon from Dulux, this pastellized terracotta evokes human connections. After years of pandemic and global conflict, its light-skinned hue recalls the carnal need to get closer to each other. Peach Fuzz is that “human” nuance that we needed to wrap ourselves in a fluffier reality.

Sunny pastels

It’s impossible not to feel a sense of well-being at the sight of this honeyed and milky mixture. Presented by Sico (Satin6112-31) and Bétonel (Without limits, DLX1091-3), this soft yellow delicately brightens the decorations and injects a welcome lightness.

Intense and soft black

Less distinct, the black softens to tend towards anthracite. Crushed pepper (PPU18-01), Behr’s featured color, is the timeless and classic shade that you will want to use on walls to create an intimate and sophisticated space. In small doses, on furniture or accessories, it energizes the decor without ever being harsh.

Deep reds

The new reds are dominated by tones of brown. This is the case for the invigorating shade bamboozle (304) by Farrow & Ball or the intense Rumors (MQ1-15) from Behr. Warm and reassuring, they model rich and historical tones like oxblood and burgundy to breathe character into contemporary environments that sometimes lack depth.

Hot, the greens

The desire to connect with nature and blur the boundaries with the outside world does not die out. Green embodies it. It takes its place among neutrals and makes a successful marriage with antique metals. We find it this year in warm tones of khaki like the Palm Leaf (SW 7735) from Sherwin-Williams ormountain olive (N350-NA) from Behr. It also offers a discreet presence with pastel sage tones, as is the case for Eddie (NOT^o 301) by Farrow & Ball. Infused with blue, it is more reminiscent of emerald and pine forests (Regent Green 2136-20, by Benjamin Moore).

The mysteries of purple

Neither blue nor purple, Abyss (CC-860) is the intriguing color ruling the Benjamin Moore palette for 2024. The manufacturer describes it as an enchanting shade whose “depth and mystery are balanced by a reassuring undercurrent.” It is one of eight motley colors that evoke travel and escape. Rather contemplative, but a little adventurous, Abyss invites us to explore the ocean of our thoughts.

Greige cocoons

White has lost its shine and thus gained warmth. It is found in pale tones of oatmeal and mushroom, halfway between beige and gray. The English brand Farrow & Ball has made it its color of the year with Stirabout (NOT^o 300). This new neutral fits warmly into decor like a good bowl of oatmeal in the morning. We use it in tone on tone more with jitney (NOT^o 293) from the same manufacturer, to create a wraparound canvas that matches all colors.

Happy blues

While we have the impression of having flirted with all the shades of blue, we are given this Blue Renewal (8003-37D) at Valspar and a Blue of Cana (CC-790) from Benjamin Moore. Meditative and serene, these shades recall the sky in its most beautiful days and a sea in which exotic fish swim. Versatile, they give a retro feel to decors, unless it’s a West Coast look… No matter, velvety turquoise is entertaining and joyful, and that’s why we love it!
