We’re Spying These 7 Spring Decor Trends Everywhere Right Now (2024)

One of 2022’s most buzzed-about accessories was an unlikely one: a sky-blue glass purse from Coperni’s fall runway show. While not perhaps the most practical—especially for the accident-prone—the collaboration with models turned glassblowers Heven got the fashion week set talking about all things glassware again. Cue Bella Hadid glassblowing on her Instagram and a new season of the Canadian reality competition show Blown Away, and you’ve got a larger-than-ever audience for chic, playful tumblers and coupes. The design world has responded with its own wave of glassware It girls—no sign of a Hadid collection or collaboration yet—including Sophie Lou Jacobsen, Grace Whiteside, and, in April, Lauren Santo Domingo via her new post at Tiffany & Co. Oh, and there’s plenty of new candy-colored bags from Heven to shop, too, if you’ve got your heart set on getting the Doja Cat look.

The White Lotus’s jaw-dropping second season averaged about 10 million viewers per episode, so if folks weren’t fantasizing about an Italian riviera escape before, they certainly are now. Expect demand for the sun-kissed Mediterranean to carry over to interiors too as temperatures start to warm. Some of our favorite design finds that evoke both the shores of Sicily and the rolling hills of Tuscany include chef Yotam Ottolenghi’s playful new vases for Serax, as well as painterly plates and scarves from Idda Studio. Those looking for even more escapism can swath their walls in de Gournay’s sky-blue embroidered paper, dubbed Amami Waves, which features under-the-sea motifs from top to bottom. No surprise: The Italian word Amami translates to “love me.”

Spring brings more time outdoors surrounded by grass, flowers, and (of course) trees. It’s inevitable that wood furniture is back in a big way, then, often in chunky, sculptural silhouettes rather than sinuous, upholstered ones. This more au naturale look puts wood grain and texture on full display, like in designer Vince Skelly’s new work, a series of redwood pieces shown at the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art through April 23. It’s a look that, naturally, can transition from indoors to outdoors with ease: Skagerak’s just-launched Plank collection places large slats of teak wood front and center, and De La Espada’s 98.6°F line takes a similarly stripped-back approach with its straightforward European oak designs.

This year’s status candles are basically furniture. Let’s be clear—you can’t recline on them (and please don’t try that at home), but candleholders are quickly taking over as the new home statement piece. No longer just an elegant, pewter object for the tabletop, these objects are now furnishings in their own right. Recent examples include Eny Lee Parker’s rounded Peb at Verso Works and Roxanne Jackson’s bonkers, six-foot-tall Tropical Goth candleholder at Room57 Gallery. Often candles are even built into larger furnishings, like Ellen Pong’s Peaks and Valleys co*cktail table from her Superhouse show, and William Guillon’s Beautiful People mirror at Objective Gallery. Now all that’s left is an equally stylish candle to pair these with....

Not all trends have to be loud, overt, and all at once—many slowly make their way into homes over time until they become all but impossible to ignore. One new design wave that fits that bill is white, textured silhouettes, which we recently spotted in two homes within the pages of ELLE DECOR: a minimalist haven in Brooklyn and a Frank Gehry gem in Los Angeles—both with Mark Ruiz Serra’s plaster Quad table in living rooms. Ruiz Serra’s new wave echoes Simone Bodmer Turner’s recent work, from vessels and chairs to lamps and mirrors.

Area rugs have never been louder than the year 2023. Rather than a way of sectioning off one space from the other, they've become artistic moments all on their own, with interesting, dynamic shapes, poppy colorways, and bold textures. Those looking to snag a piece of the trend for themselves can pick up one of Muuto’s new swooping Relevo rugs, or one of many fuzzy, irregularly shaped examples from cc-tapis. If you want to go even wilder, new work from Alfhild Kulper takes the rug to new, psychedelic heights with shapes, fabrics, and figures straight from a lilting dreamscape.
