December 2024 Design Trends

Meredith Lee • December 6, 2024

As December unfolds, the interior design world embraces trends that exude warmth, individuality, and forward-thinking design. Whether you're revamping a single room or updating your entire home, these trends offer plenty of inspiration to end 2024 with a stylish flourish. Here are the top design trends for the season—and some thoughtful ways to integrate them seamlessly into your space.

1. Earthy Tones and Textures

Nature remains a profound influence on interiors, with palettes drawn from clay, moss, and sandy landscapes. Textures like linen, jute, and raw wood emphasize a grounded, serene vibe.

To extend the look, consider how your window coverings contribute to the overall mood. Materials like woven wood or subtly textured fabrics effortlessly complement the organic, earthy aesthetic while providing functional warmth during colder months.


2. Maximalist Patterns

Bold prints and vibrant designs are here to energize interiors. Layering rich florals, geometric motifs, and abstract patterns can bring character and depth to a room without overwhelming the senses.

If you're embracing this trend, let patterns flow from walls and furnishings to softer elements like drapery or shades. A striking fabric on your windows can anchor a maximalist design, creating harmony amidst an eclectic mix.


3. Statement Hardware

Design details are stepping into the limelight, with window hardware like curtain rods and finials gaining newfound attention. Ornate or bold finishes in brushed gold, black, or brass offer a sophisticated touch to any room.

These small details can frame your windows beautifully, blending with surrounding décor or standing out as an accent piece. Opt for hardware that feels intentional and ties the entire space together.


4. Soft Glamour

The soft glamour trend marries understated luxury with cozy sophistication. Think plush textures, muted metallics, and soft lighting that create an inviting yet elegant atmosphere.

To bring soft glamour to your windows, opt for velvet or silk drapery in jewel tones or metallic hues. Pair with subtle sheers to filter natural light and add a touch of ethereal elegance.


Final Thoughts

The trends of December 2024 bring a sense of balance—bold and calming, innovative yet timeless. Your windows, often the quiet heroes of a space, are a canvas for these ideas, supporting both the aesthetic and functionality of your home. As you explore ways to bring these trends into your life, let your choices reflect your unique style while embracing the comfort and elegance of thoughtful design.

Whether it’s bold patterns, cozy textures, or the quiet luxury of automation, your windows can subtly echo the season’s trends without stealing the spotlight.

How to Choose Window Treatments for Every Room in Your Home

By Sammie Bailey • June 9, 2026
Most people approach window treatments the same way in every room — pick something that looks good and call it done. The problem with that approach is that no two rooms in your home have the same needs. The light is different. The function is different. The way you live in the space is different. A bedroom needs darkness at 7am on a Saturday. A kitchen needs something practical that survives steam and splatter. A living room needs to handle afternoon glare without making the space feel like a cave. A home office needs to eliminate screen glare without losing the view. Get the treatment wrong and you'll notice it every single day — squinting at your screen, waking up too early, or living in a room that never quite feels finished. Get it right and you stop thinking about your windows entirely, which is exactly the point.  Here's how to choose window treatments for every room in your home — starting with what that room actually needs.

How Much Sun Is Coming Through Your Windows — And What It's Costing You

By Sammie Bailey • June 2, 2026
Most homeowners think about their windows as a view. A way to let in light, frame the mountains, or brighten a room. What they rarely think about is what's coming in with that light — and what it's quietly doing to their home, their furniture, and their energy bill. If you've ever sat near a south-facing window in July and felt the heat radiating off the glass, you already understand the problem. You just might not know how significant it is — or how simple the solution can be.
