Interior Paint Colour Trends 2024 | Interior Design Inspiration

As we enter a new year, it's the perfect moment to examine upcoming trends, palettes and exciting colour combinations that will define interior design in 2024. Explore five key colour trends that will influence interiors this year.

1. Feel Good Interiors: Dopamine Decor

This playful trend has happiness at its heart. Built around bold colours intended to make the home a place of joy and energy, dopamine decor is a trend we're excited about. Once a vibrant colour becomes the main focus of a space, lots of fun can be had with eclectic finishes, patterns and wall art.

There's no limit when it comes to this theme, but when it comes to a colour that will encourage happiness, go bright. Our 2024 Color Now Palette features Bubba in Berlin, a bold pink shade inspired by the unique happiness brought on by nostalgia. If you're looking for something more serene, remind yourself of summer skies with Cumulus Y354 or Sky J356.

2. Shades of Gold

Rich, opulent and unexpected. A warm and inviting atmosphere in a space can be achieved through the artful layering of golden tones, reminiscent of the cosiness and subtle glamour evoked by the muted neutrals we have seen in recent design trends.

To add gold to your space, we recommend Gold in Ghana, a brand-new shade developed as part of our Color Now 2024 collection. For a subtle golden hue, choose Gold Ore J462.

Looking for something extra special? Enhance your space with a subtle touch of gold using Tikkurila metallic paints to infuse warmth and drama. The Taika range, meaning "magic" in English, offers two options: a solid-colour paint for a bold statement or a glaze for a transparent effect.

Another emerging trend is the concept of Clashing Metallics; blending silvers, golds, and coppers can generate a vibrant and energetic ambience. Explore more clash trends here.

3. Power of Blue

Blue has been a staple colour in interior design trends in recent years and it's not going anywhere. Blue hues can create a soothing yet dramatic atmosphere in a space.

When decorating with blue, it's hard to go wrong with your colour combination. This complementary colour will go well with almost any other shade and will help to bring your interiors together. With shades ranging from ice blue to deep navy, the versatile colour looks great painted on everything from walls to kitchen cabinets, or when simply layered in with accessories and small pops of colour.

Unlock the power of blue by combining it with crisp whites to achieve a striking contrast. For a moody feel, try Atlantis L433, Indigo L429 or Ink M350. To create a peaceful living space, use fresh powdery blues like Forget Me Not H353.

4. Earthy Neutrals

This year the neutral palette is set to embrace a harmonious blend of earthy reds and greens, ushering in a trend that reflects a connection to nature. Our Color Now 2024 introduces two distinctive shades, Men on Mars and Lips in Lyon capturing this contemporary shift towards neutrals inspired by the organic hues found in the natural world. To achieve a well-rounded and timeless look, consider balancing these modern earth tones with classic off-whites like Damask F485.

To create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere rooted in nature, incorporate our shade Sandstone X463. This warm and grounding colour serves as a unifying element, tying together the earthy reds, greens, and classic off-whites. The result is a neutral palette that not only reflects the current trends but also fosters a sense of tranquillity and connection to the environment within your living space.

5. Colour Drenching

A simple design trend with tremendous results. This trend is all about dedicating one colour to your space. This coverage extends beyond the walls and captures ceilings, trim, doors and more to form a monochromatic dreamscape.

For maximalist interior styles, consider colour drenching in dark shades such as Ficus N378, Wrought Iron Y500 and Denim N429 to create a sophisticated atmosphere. If you have a more minimalist theme, try this style using neutrals like Coconut Y456 or Tikkurila Beige to achieve a clean look.
