PUBLISHING PARTNERS

With just a few days left before Dubai Home Festival (DHF) 2024 concludes its spectacular sixth season, now is the perfect time to refresh, reinvent, and transform any space with unbeatable bargains across furniture, home décor, accessories, electronics, home appliances, and more. As the festival reaches its finale, some of Dubai’s top interior designers have shared their expert tips and trends to inspire a stylish home makeover.

WARM, EARTHY TONES

Tanya Ivin Karam, Founder of Interior TakeOver, says incorporating warm tones can make a space feel homely: “One of my favourite interior design trends is including warm, earthy tones, with rusty oranges which add depth and vibrancy to spaces. These rich hue pairs beautifully with natural materials, creating a cosy atmosphere.”

MESMERISING ZIGZAGS

Tanya suggests incorporating herringbone patterns to add a classic touch to any space. “Whether in flooring, tile, or textiles, herringbone brings a timeless and dynamic interest. Pair this pattern with rusty oranges and you create a stylish and inviting atmosphere, perfect for modern living.”

NATURE-INSPIRED DESIGN

For those seeking serenity in their spaces, Dalia Moghrabi, Managing Director at Two Design Studio suggests integrating biophilic design – or natural elements such as plants and water features. This trend for bringing the outside inside is echoed in the growing trend of sustainable luxury, where the use of eco-friendly materials and practices elevates any luxurious design.

LESS IS MORE

Minimalist elegance is another trend that is here to stay, according to Dalia. More and more people are seeking a sense of simplicity and quality, with clean lines and neutral colours proving essential for simplicity and sophistication.

REVIVAL OF ART DECO

Those wishing to create a more vibrant space and experiment with bright colours and patterns can embrace the Art Deco Revival trend and bring a touch of 1920s glamour into their homes with luxurious materials and bold patterns. Dalia notes that being playful with soft furnishings and artwork is a flexible way to give a nod to the look, while those looking to make a statement can do so with stand-out furniture pieces for a more dramatic vibe.

SMART TECHNOLOGY

As technology weaves its way into every aspect of modern life, smart homes are also redefining interior design. Dalia emphasises how this technology provides the perfect blend of functionality and style. By creating a cohesive smart home ecosystem, personal spaces can not only transform into a welcoming sanctuary but also operate efficiently.
