The New Romantics | Aspirational in Architectural Digest

Unspool your ribbons: Romanticism isn’t just for the 19th century—or the 1980s. When embraced with confidence, pinks, reds, florals, lace, and ribbons can be sensual and provocative. Though we may be in the midst of a “bow backlash,” according to Times commentators and Instagram’s peanut gallery, romanticism is undoubtedly having a moment.

Bring on the Butler’s Pantries | Kitchens Coming in HOT at ELLE Decor

“Butler’s pantries continue to be the hottest thing going in kitchens,” says Adams. “A dedicated space to store your china and sometimes even a wet bar make these kitchen annexes the height of luxury living.” ..Homeowners are exploring innovative layouts, such as “hidden” kitchens and pantry walls, allowing them to tuck away the cooking area when it’s not in use to maintain a clutter-free, minimalist look.

And there you have it, Abode Realty’s top pick of design trends for 2024.

An undertone of luxury is very evident in the top design trends of 2024, which is somewhat ironic given the economic climate.  If you have the funds to deploy, creating a spa-like bathroom or updating your kitchen to include hidden pantries or appliance storage can go a long way in increasing the market value of your home.

However luxury need not be expensive. As they say, you don’t buy style.  For those on a budget, start with some fresh paint, a DIY plaster wall to add texture in the powder room, vintage finds from a local thrift store, even a candle in a room to help to create an elevated feeling of luxury.

Remember style is merely an expression of how you feel or want to feel, so go on – you do you!
