Soothing colours: Blues and greens
The hues of blue and green have always been synonymous with tranquillity and calmness. In 2024, the interior design landscape in Asia will see a resurgence of these colours, particularly in shades that mimic nature — from the serene sky blues to the refreshing mint greens. These colours are being used in bedrooms and workspaces to create a peaceful retreat from the bustling world outside, proving effective in reducing stress and enhancing focus.

Earth tones, including terracotta, ochre, and warm browns, have made a significant comeback, particularly in living rooms and communal spaces. These colours, rooted in nature, evoke a sense of stability and grounding, fostering an environment where one can feel secure and connected. In 2024, the shift towards sustainability and natural materials in Asia's interior design further amplifies the appeal of earth tones, promoting a balanced and harmonious mood.
Serenity colours: Soft pastels
Pastel shades are not just for nurseries. This year, soft lavenders, pale pinks, and baby blues are making their way into the broader interior palette of homes in Asia. These colours offer a subtle way to brighten up a space without overwhelming the senses, ideal for creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Pastels are especially popular in minimalistic and Scandinavian-inspired designs, where the focus is on simplicity and calm.
Passionate colours: Shades of reds
Red, a colour often associated with passion, excitement, and energy, is used judiciously in 2024's interior design trends to add a touch of drama and depth. A deep red accent wall or furniture piece can introduce a dynamic visual focus in a room, stimulating feelings of warmth and vibrancy. However, designers are mindful of its intensity, balancing it with neutral tones to ensure the mood remains comfortable and not overly stimulating.
