Living trends 2024 - chocolate brown, organic shapes & quiet luxury

Dear readers,

The world of home and interior design is constantly changing, and 2024 is no exception. The fashion week and design shows of the last few weeks have given us some clues about this year's trends.

This year we are likely to see a return to deep, earthy tones that exude calm and warmth, as well as a move towards minimalist design that does not lose personality. The “Quiet Luxury” trend inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow and the TV show “Succession”, as well as organic and unconventional shapes, are also setting the tone this year.

Let's explore some of this year's standout home decor trends together and discover how they can enrich your home.

“Quiet Luxury” – shopping consciously and with high quality

The Quiet Luxury trend has recently gained additional attention due to high-profile events, including Gwyneth Paltrow's skiing crash court appearance . This case has sparked conversations far beyond the courtroom, drawing attention to a fashion style and designs that embody Quiet Luxury.

Paltrow, known for her strong sense of wellness, style and elegance, represents a lifestyle that flaunts luxury not through loud logos or ostentation, but through subtle quality and conscious choices.

If you are also a fan of "Quiet Luxury", then take a look at our Exclusive Line , where exotic and rare natural stones are processed into high-quality unique pieces.

The color chocolate brown – a basis for coziness

In 2024, the color chocolate brown will come into sharp focus. Creative voices call this trend “Café Core”. Because: Sitting in a cozy café and drinking a cup of coffee has its own charm.

This rich, warm shade creates an inviting atmosphere in any room. It combines perfectly with neutral colors, but can also serve as a contrast to lighter tones.

Chocolate brown looks particularly elegant when expressed in high-quality materials such as natural stones, such as our “Emperador Marron” marble.

But in addition to the beautiful chocolate brown, other earth tones and warm natural tones are also receiving more attention this year - transporting the connection to nature into our living space through natural materials and calming colors offers great added value to our quality of life.

The colors serve as a kind of “soul warmer”.

Craftsmanship – A tribute to tradition and quality

This year, the focus will continue to be on craftsmanship, local production and sustainable manufacturing processes. In a world where mass production and a throwaway culture still prevail, handmade products are becoming increasingly important and valued.

Our natural stone tables, which we make locally in Saxony-Anhalt using self-generated green electricity, are a prime example of this philosophy. Not only do they represent the skills and heritage of local artisans, but they are also long-lasting, sustainable and timeless pieces that will last for generations.

Here you can learn more about us and our manufactory. 

Organic table shapes – nature as a source of inspiration

The year 2024 will see a move towards more organic, flowing forms in furniture design.

When it comes to tables in particular, we are seeing a move away from strict geometric shapes towards softer, more natural lines. 

Our “Bergen oval” model is a good example of a natural and organic design that fits seamlessly and unobtrusively into any room.

In the photo you see a custom-made version of our “Rome” frame with an inorganic table top made of Patagonia quartzite.

On request, we can also create special table shapes or your own designs as a custom-made product so that you get exactly what you imagine.

Industrial minimalism – functional and aesthetic

Industrial minimalism combines functionality with an aesthetic simplicity. This style often uses raw, unprocessed materials such as metal, wood and stone.

Here at the MAGNA Atelier you will also find a unique interpretation of this trend in our handcrafted natural stone table “Rome” , which with its filigree, rust-colored metal frame combines the beauty of natural stone with minimalist design. 

This model is a wonderful example of how industrial minimalism can be balanced with local craftsmanship.
