Each new year brings with it plenty of design trends to get excited about—and if you're longing to incorporate a new look into your space without giving it a complete overhaul, you'll want to keep reading.

If you're eager to embrace a 2024 design trend that doesn't necessarily complement your existing space, consider introducing it within a smaller room of your home instead. Sarah Tract, the founder of Sarah Tract Interiors, suggests turning to the powder room.
«Take this small space as an opportunity to express your trendy self with wallpaper and funky accents,» she advises. «The best part is that it will often be closed off from the rest of the home, and therefore won’t intrude on any other spaces.»
Another small space to consider is the area above a dresser or on top of your kitchen counters, Brooke Spreckman, the founder of Design Hutch, says. «That way you're only re-doing a small area that is more in your line of sight,» she says.

Integrating thoughtful accessories into your home to reflect a trend you love can work wonders. The best part? You won't need to part ways with all of the large pieces that you own to make an impact.
«By tying in the aesthetic throughout the entirety of the home, you can create a cohesive space without a major overhaul,» Tract says.
Kristin Marino, the founder of KozyKasa, recommends drawing upon tabletop decor, seasonal pillows and throw blankets, or artwork.
«Incorporating something new can easily be done without replacing all your furniture or tearing down walls,» Marino says.
