Top 3 Modern Interior Design Trends for Sustainable Homes

While we are approaching the end of 2024, here are some interior style recap you need to know this year!

As the world of architecture and design is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging every year. In 2024, we saw a rise in various designs from minimalist to sustainable style. Along with the evolving of trendy design styles, people started to be more aware of sustainability issues. Based on that we decided to show our top 3 modern design trends for Sustainable homes that might not go away anytime soon. Let’s explore them in detail and see how ReHolz can bring these trends to life with its future materials.

Minimalist Design

Simple and functional are the best words to describe minimalist design.

A minimalist design is a popular trend year after year, including this year. The combination of minimalist style, furniture, interior design, and the functional side provides a sense of peace and cleanliness. This design aesthetic is often seen as a close relative to Scandinavian or Japanese styles, both of which embraced a “less is more” ideology. This design achieves a pure type of elegance by using minimal materials, neutral colors, and eliminating unnecessary decoration. 

As the English architect and designer, Augustus Pugin, once stated, “In pure architecture, the smallest detail should have a meaning or serve a purpose.” Each element in this design contributes to a peaceful, clean, and minimalist atmosphere.

 

The Main Characteristics of Minimalist Interior Design

When considering the Western minimalist style as we understand it today, interiors that love to play with this aesthetic often include these elements:

• Clean and simple lines 
• Lack of ornamentation and decoration
• Neutral color palettes, such as white, beige, gray, and taupe.
• Well chosen materials, such as wood, concrete, steel, glass, and wood
• Functional furniture
• Natural lights

Japandi design

The love between East and West brings a new aesthetic to the design world!

Japandi style, a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design, is characterized by a balance of simplicity from Japanese aesthetic elements with Scandinavian elements that give warmth and comfort. The utilization of sustainable materials and natural features wonderfully captures the blend of this design. 

As Laila Rietbergen, author of Japandi Living and Instagram influencer @japandi.interior, points out, “Maybe some people think Japandi just happened, but the relationship between Japan and Scandinavia started long ago.” It shows the origins of Japandi design is rooted in the historical ties between Japanese and Scandinavian design traditions

Both styles have their vision but the fusion of this blend can bring the elegant side of the design into reality. Let’s dive more to see the crucial elements between Japanese design and Scandinavian design that create an elegant blend to elevate your spaces,

The natural beauty of ReHolz adds warmth and comfort to the minimalist aesthetic of Japandi design.

Sustainable design

Modern concept inspired by tradition and nature.

Modern design concepts often draw inspiration from traditional styles and natural elements. Sustainable design, a key component of the circular economy, prioritizes environmental, social, and economic factors throughout a product’s lifespan, from the beginning to the disposal process. This approach ensures that the product is designed with minimal negative environmental and society impact.

As stated by David Bergman, Founder of DavidBergmanECO and author of Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide and the blog EcoOptimism, “Sustainable design is becoming more important in design schools. But how much it’s taught can vary. This raises questions for a program like ours that focuses on sustainability.”

Our ancestors were skilled builders who used natural materials to create sturdy and sustainable homes. However, with industrialization, the focus shifted to non-sustainable materials. As people became aware of the environmental impact, interest in sustainable design grew. ReHolz, a sustainable material, offers a solution for architects and designers looking to create beautiful and environmentally friendly buildings.

 

The Main Characteristics of Sustainable Interior Design:

• Sustainable material, such as restored woods, bamboo, natural stones, and recycled aluminum.
• Natural light
• Open airy space
• Energy efficiency
• Waste reduction
