As we transition into Autumn/Winter 2024 we're seeing the re-emergence of joyful and confident homes featuring retro references, and playful, youthful colour palettes.
Here are the key Interior Trends that we've noted at McAlister Textiles that are set to continue as we head into 2025.
1. Understated Luxury

First originating in the world of fashion, we're hearing the term "Quiet Luxury" mentioned more now in the world of interiors. The trend is based on the use of high quality materials and craftsmanship with the use of unique finishes to provide a foundation of understated elegance in the home. The style steers clear of anything garish and is a distinct move away from the pattern dominant Maximalist trend of recent years.
Achieve the look by focusing on the layering of materials and textures in your room with everything from hard surfaces to textiles. Keep areas of pattern to a minimum and instead stick to a harmonious colour palette without harsh contrasts.
2. Warm sandy neutrals and yellow tones

Buttery yellows have become increasingly popular driven by the desire to create warm and inviting spaces to welcome people into our homes. The hues are rich but subtle and particularly effective when used as a single shade across walls, floors and furniture
Try pairing a background of sandy neutrals with warm russet and terracotta tones, accents of blush pink or nature inspired greens to create a cosy and welcoming feel.
Inline with the recent trend for yellow tones, Dulux have announced their Colour Of The Year for 2025 as the bold yellow "True Joy". Described by the Dulux colour experts as "an uplifting yellow that fills homes with optimism, pride and a pop of colour". More about the Dulux Colour of the year and how to use it in our next article.

The relaxed styling, organic materials, and earthy tones of 70s interior design have experienced a resurgence in recent years thanks to its fun, relaxed and optimistic approach. Bold curved and abstract motifs feature in homeware patterns and velvet is a key material for soft furnishings. The colour palette is rich and earthy incorporating warm browns, terracotta reds and oranges. Pick out elements of 70's inspired design to inject fun and personality into your interior spaces.
4. Vintage, Second hand and Upcycling
The 70's revival and sustainability trends are driving a growing market for vintage and second-hand items in interiors. Online selling platforms have made it easier then ever to source original pre-loved pieces that stand out from high street furniture and homeware and contribute to the creation of a unique interior style whilst giving new life to something that might otherwise be thrown away.

Upcycling also remains popular with both craftspeople, home owners and interior designers; re-purposing, repainting and re-upholstering items to create something fresh and unique.
5. Wall panelling
Wall panelling has emerged as the trending DIY project for 2024 (read this simple guide to DIY wall panelling) and social media has a wealth of inspiration – try searching the hashtags #wallpanelling and #wallpanellingideas on instagram to get inspired. Panelling is especially popular in bedrooms positioned behind the bed or even as an alternative to the headboard, adding texture to an otherwise plain surface and creating a stylish focal point.
