Interior Design Trends SE18/SE28 Households Can Expect to See in 2024 

 

Is your SE18/SE28 home ripe for a refresh? 

 

Are you itching to ditch dated décor and breathe new life into your property? 

 

If so, take inspiration from these top interior design trends.

 

Texture 

 

Don’t just think about how your home looks; consider how it feels. Bobbly cushions, plush rugs and fluffy throws help create a cosy atmosphere. Bouclé, velvet and leather are just some of the materials that can add interest.

 

The colour brown (yes, really) 

 

All-white interiors are out, and brown is in. But don’t worry, you don’t have to go overboard or opt for a dark shade. Instead, add small pops of warm, earthy tones, such as caramel, rust or amber to create a sense of earthiness and cosiness.

 

Now you see it, now you don’t office furniture

 

If you don’t have the space for a dedicated home office, the next best thing is the hideaway desk or bureau. The idea is that it serves as a functional place to work during the day, but when you clock off, you can close the doors so that it looks like a standard cupboard or cabinet. 

 

Lava stone

 

Lava stone is durable, resistant to temperature changes and available in lots of pretty colours. So, no wonder it’s becoming a popular choice for countertops and tiles in high-end homes and restaurants. It’s made from volcanic rock glazed with enamel and fired at a super high temperature. The finish is glossy but with an attractive, crackled effect. The only downside is the cost – lava stone falls into the same price bracket as marble.

 

Silver

 

Metallics have been trending for years, but previously, it was all about gold and brass. Now, silver is having a moment. Silver pendant lights, steel splashbacks and chrome tap fittings look modern and fresh and work well with wood and marble.

 

Dopamine décor

 

The phrase ‘dopamine décor’ went viral last year and looks set to generate just as much interest in 2024. It’s all about adding colour and joyful touches to our homes to help lift our mood. Dopamine décor is not for minimalists but for those who love vivid colours, bold prints and quirky one-off pieces.

What You Should Know before You and Your Partner Live Together If talk between you and your partner this Valentine’s Day turns to living together, there are a few practical things you should know first. Here at Hi Residential, we pride ourselves on being as helpful as possible. But dishing out relationship advice is a step too far – even for us. So, if you’re considering moving in with your partner, we’ll leave the big decisions and lovey-dovey stuff down to you. However, if you decide to co-habit, we have some useful, albeit unromantic, advice for you. It’s based on insights we’ve gained over the years from helping many couples set up home together. Speak to your landlord One option when moving in together is to start afresh in a new rental property. However, if you plan to move into your partner’s rented place or for them to join you, then you need to discuss this with the landlord. Be aware that you’ll need to get the landlord’s permission first, and they’ll most likely have to run a reference check. Budget and bills The good thing about living with someone is you can share the financial burden of renting. But you’ll need to have a frank conversation at the start to discuss how much you can afford to pay in rent and how you’ll split the bills. Jointly liable It’s worth understanding that when the two of you sign a tenancy agreement, you are both ‘jointly and severally liable’. This means that if, for example, your partner loses their job and can’t pay the rent, you could be liable to pay their share. The same goes for the upkeep and maintenance of the property. You’re both equally responsible. Logistics If you both already have your own homes, decide what furniture you’ll each take to your new property. It’s unlikely that you will have room for more than one sofa, bed or dining table, so you may need to give away or sell some big-ticket items. At this point, you may also get the home-making bug and decide to buy some items to turn your new place into a cosy love nest. In that case, it may be time to put your relationship to the test by taking a trip to Ikea. Good luck.
