2024 saw homeowners making mindful choices, focusing on intentional and thoughtful decor pieces to transform and elevate their living spaces.

If you’re seeking inspiration for simple yet impactful upgrades, here’s a curated list of the top trends: 1. Sculptural diffusers "This year saw the introduction of sculptural, art-inspired diffusers that serve a dual purpose—adding elegance to living rooms while diffusing essential oils. There was also an increase in the use of neutral raw ceramic and matte-finished materials," said Ridhima Kansal, Director of Rosemoore. 2. Multi-wick scented candles Scented candles with multiple wicks gained traction for their ability to scent larger spaces while adding a visually dramatic touch. Popular fragrances included lavender, sandalwood, and bergamot. 3. Aromatherapy wall décor Wall-mounted diffusers and decorative shelves for essential oils were favorites this year. These pieces paired well with minimalist and boho-chic decor styles. 4. Natural potpourri bowls Potpourri—dried flowers, herbs, and spices—made a comeback in elegant wooden or glass bowls. These aromatic arrangements brought a vintage charm to corridors and living spaces. 5. Aromatherapy lamps Combining light therapy with aromatherapy, these dual-purpose lamps served as both ambient lighting and essential oil diffusers, offering a two-in-one wellness experience. 6.Bookshelves as focal points "Bookshelves became focal points, with open-shelf systems and standalone cases being integrated with lighting. This not only illuminated the furniture but also highlighted the books and decorative items, enhancing the overall room décor," said Raghunandan Saraf, Founder & CEO, Saraf Furniture. 7. Statement coffee tables Odd-shaped coffee tables, often made from a combination of materials, became a notable trend. Designs blending metal bases with the elegance of marble, and asymmetric or geometric styles, added intrigue and sophistication to living rooms. 8. Rattan and cane accents Vintage and bohemian furniture styles, featuring rattan and cane, continued to thrive. Chairs, bed frames, and console tables in these materials added texture and a natural vibe to interiors. 9. Bar cabinets with personality Bar cabinets with metallic finishes, mirrored panels, and art deco designs became focal points in recreational spaces. They offered both style and practicality with clever storage solutions. 10.Curved sofas and chairs Furniture designs with soft edges gained immense popularity as they provided a warm and welcoming impression. Upholstery materials like velvet and boucle in neutral shades, such as sage green and beige, were particularly in demand. Bharath Kumar BS, Head of Revenue and Growth, Myntra said that consumers started treating their homes as extensions of their individuality and aesthetic sensibilities, helping percolate fashion into their lifestyle choices. From minimalistic rustic charm to opulent Victorian aesthetics, the year’s décor trends reflect a marriage of functionality and flair.

Inspired by pop culture, victorian décor made a comeback, with light floral patterns, French-inspired furnishings, and soft pastel hues taking center stage," he added.
