As 2023 draws to a close, the American Society of Interior Designers is cataloging the latest ways we live, work, play and heal—and the corresponding trends impacting interior design. Notions of comfort, connection and blurred lines have impacted the design practice in transformative ways. Amidst the popular discourse surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), celebrity culture, identity, social media, and misinformation, consumers in 2024 will be seeking the real deal— trusted brands that offer a genuine experience. Identified by Merriam-Webster as the 2023 word of the year, “authenticity” is a common thread running through the new trends impacting design in 2024. Look with us at some of the top societal and demographic themes that are expected to impact designers in the forthcoming 2024 Trends Outlook report, sponsored by Sherwin-Williams.
