The Essential Guide to 2024 Color Trends: Connecting Aesthetics, Sustainability, and Community with DorianBahr

As we journey into future design trends, we invite you to experience DorianBahr’s distinct vision. Under the leadership of renowned designer Curtis Dorian, our firm offers an innovative blend of forward-thinking aesthetics, equitable design, and the finest sustainable practices. In our approach, living spaces become more than simply places of shelter, they emerge as reflections of societal voyages and collective narratives. Drawing from industry-leading color forecasts, DorianBahr presents an inspired look at the “Colors of the Year” for 2024.

2024 Color Landscape: A Vision of Tranquillity and Resilience

The color canvas for 2024 is projected to radiate an ethos of tranquility, environmental mindfulness, and resilience, aligned with our ethos at DorianBahr.

  1. Pantone: Anticipated to champion a palette of serene, peachy hues, this palette imparts a sense of vitality within tranquility.
  2. Sherwin-Williams: The perfect balance of Light French Gray and Rosy Outlook is expected, reflecting a quiet resonance of peace in line with popular color usage in sophisticated design spaces.
  3. Miller Paint: With a nod toward the rejuvenated earth, Miller’s forecast hints at deep Stormy Weather tones, the richness of Harvest Time, and the vibrancy of Olive Sprig.
  4. Benjamin Moore: Through a myriad of earthy hues forecasted for the year, Benjamin Moore underscores our connection with the earth in a subtle yet definitive manner.
  5. Glidden: With an expected palette celebrating tranquility and restoration, Glidden leads the way toward healing color choices.

Residential and Commercial Design: How 2024 Color Trends Relate to Our Spaces

At DorianBahr, we understand that color choices in design breathe life into spaces and shape the nature of our surroundings.

Residential Design

Color trends in residential design reflect broader societal movements toward both sustainability and a greater focus on personalized aesthetics:

  1. Living Areas: Incorporating the ease of Light French Gray with the comforting notes of Stormy Weather can foster a soothing and welcoming environment that encourages interaction.
  2. Bedrooms: “For a bedroom that exudes an aura of peace and sophistication, I highly recommend incorporating Sherwin Williams’ Dried Thyme. When paired with accents of Extra White, the colors beautifully complement each other, making Dried Thyme’s lush tones truly stand out. This combination not only enhances the room’s aesthetics but also transforms it into an ideal personal haven,” advises Shannon Dunn, Production Operations Director at DorianBahr.
  3. Kitchens and Bathrooms: With Pantone’s predicted Peach Fuzz or Benjamin Moore’s earthy tones, these utilitarian spaces can transform into personal sanctuaries that balance functionality and aesthetics.

Commercial Design

In commercial design, color choices not only embody the identity of the brand but also extend toward broader themes of sustainability and inclusivity:

  1. Office Spaces: The pairing of Light French Gray with Stormy Weather can foster a sophisticated workspace, encouraging creativity while prioritizing sustainability.
  2. Retail Stores/Restaurants: Empowered by the lively hues of Olive Sprig and Harvest Time, these commercial spaces can effectively become hubs for community engagement, capturing the essence of the brand along with a sense of inclusivity.
  3. Wellness Centers: Pantone’s Peach Fuzz or Rosy Outlook create calming environments, conducive to holistic wellness and serenity.

As Cris Haest, our esteemed Marketing Director, puts it: “Color trends are more than just stylistic choices—they echo our societal dynamics, our collective aspirations, and our journey through time.”
