Woodworking may not be top of mind when you think of home trends changing. But trends and styles are always changing and are changing everywhere. 2024 is going to see some different trends that Blue Star can help you add to your home.
You may have been debating adding custom shelving into one of your rooms but have not figured out what exactly you want or where you want it. 2024 is going to be the year of dark wood tones. Adding custom floating shelves or other wood installs is the perfect way to add this 2024 style to your home. Utilizing a naturally darker wood or staining a lighter wood with a dark stain is another way to add this trend to your space. These wood installations featuring dark wood tones can keep your home up to date with 2024 styles.
Built-ins are a great way to add storage and style to your home. Whether you want to add them to a living room, wine cellar, or even a primary bedroom, built-ins are the way to go in 2024. Updating a room in your home to stay on trend is always a fun project but when you add style and functionality it makes it even better. Built-ins can create a cohesive look in your home and reduce visible clutter. Creating custom built-ins can keep your home in-style, functional, and customize your space to fit the needs of your family.
Natural wood and sustainable materials have been gaining lots of popularity over the last few years. Using a wood piece that has a live edge can create a much softer look than straight edges and sharp corners. A live edge can bring the beauty of the outdoors in with its natural look.
Thinking sustainably in woodworking is one more way we can help the environment. Finding pieces to add to your home in a sustainable way can add character to your home while helping the planet. Salvaging wood from somewhere else or using reclaimed wood can add some charm into your home that a brand new piece of wood may not be able to.
Harsh lines are on their way out but organic edges on softer shapes are going to be all the rage. Adding soft edges and abstract shapes into the wood elements in your home can create a unique and customized style instead of a ‘cookie-cutter’ look that sharp edges can create.
Millwork is another way you can add a unique and customized look to your space. Adding vertical shiplap as an accent wall in your primary bedroom or board and batten in a powder room can create a handcrafted look in your space. Beadboard could be added to the back of your island cabinets is a hidden detail in your kitchen. 2024 is going to be all about creating personalized timeless spaces and millwork is one of the ways to add a custom style to your home.
Adding built-ins, live edge shelves, soft lines and millwork can turn a house into a home. Adding any of these elements will allow your personality to shine through in your space while keeping up with the trends of the new year. The trends expected in 2024 have a timeless look allowing your space to tell the story of you for years to come.
