Some of the groundbreaking trends in interior design were unveiled at NeoCon 2024, with an emphasis on sensory innovation, well-being, and sustainability. In this blog we explore these key trends and how they’re shaping the future of design.
Sensory and immersive design took centre stage, demonstrating a growing trend towards environments that intentionally captivate all senses, providing comforting and engaging spaces that go beyond mere visual appeal. The event spotlighted the compelling shift towards enhancing materiality and texture by using a variety of tactile materials to craft spaces that encourage physical engagement and emotional connectivity.
This movement towards sensory connection is further enriched by the latest in colour trends, where subtle, muted hues blend with vibrant digital brights to create layers of complexity, deepening the overall emotional and sensory experience.
