Not new, but in demand: these are the Pinterest trends for autumn 2024
Pinterest Predicts has just published its autumn report 2024. These are the predicted interior trends: it will be green and Japanese-inspired.
Pinterest, one of the leading sources of inspiration, publishes annual data-based trend predictions for areas such as fashion, beauty, interiors, food and hobbies. According to the current report, this autumn promises to be a "dynamic and vibrant season, characterised by experimental fashion and beauty trends, collaborative activities and inspiration from Japanese culture". What does this mean for our interiors? It's going to be cosy. From Zen bathrooms to reading rooms, there seems to be a yearning for time-honoured interior design concepts.
Cosy corners
On Pinterest, people are increasingly looking for ideas to transform their home into a peaceful oasis with a "cosy autumn atmosphere" (up 90 per cent). Particularly popular: dreamy rooms with floral aesthetics and candle bouquets (flower candles). A simple style tip: add a fresh bouquet of flowers to the room and you have a floral setting. People are also looking for soft lighting and inviting reading rooms. You can find tips on how to round off the latter with a home library here.

Calming colour tones
The cosy autumn atmosphere should be supported by the choice of colours. Colour palettes in sage green and blue (up 570 per cent), dark green bathrooms (up 350 per cent), green home offices (up 260 per cent) and atmospheric bedrooms in purple (up 350 per cent). These colour concepts can be implemented by painting the walls, but also with matching home accessories and home textiles.

Japanese style
According to Pinterest, searches for the term "Zen house" increased by 405 per cent between June 2023 and June 2024. What makes this one special? It is free of unnecessary excess. When designing a Zen house, attention is paid to natural materials and neutral colours. Open rooms, large windows, Zen gardens and fountains are designed to promote tranquillity and strengthen the connection to nature. In addition to the bedroom and living room, there may also be extra areas for meditation and relaxation. In addition to Pinterest, inspiration for the Japanese aesthetic could come from books such as Japandi Living by Laila Rietbergen: Here you'll find more than 200 images of interiors where Japanese meets Scandinavian design.
Pinterest also recorded an increase in searches for Zen bathrooms (up 200 per cent) and Futon bedrooms (up 245 per cent). Here too, simple decoration and natural materials are the key to style. In the bathroom, the aesthetics of wood, bamboo, stone or linen should convey the feeling of a Japanese spa. In the bedroom, on the other hand, a futon bed or a traditional tatami mat and plants are a must.

Green home
Another living trend that is growing strongly this season is "Green home furnishing" (up 2670 per cent). Plants, furniture and home accessories in green play a major role here. The walls can also be in the much sought-after colour or shine with pictures in the popular colour scheme.
