Five Major Interior Design Trends for 2024

As we step into 2024, the world of home decor and interior design is buzzing with exciting trends that promise to freshen up your living spaces. At Lavender Fields, these are the trends we're seeing in the market and on the streets.

1) Say Goodbye to Gray and White - Color is Back

Homeowners are getting sick of "millennial gray," that ubiquitous pale gray color we all painted our homes a few years ago.  Instead, saturated, bold colors are taking center stage in 2024. Say goodbye to the cool grays and embrace lively hues that inject life into your living spaces. At Lavender Fields, explore a spectrum of daring colors from our Designers Guild line – from rich emerald greens to electric blues – to add a touch of drama to your home. Whether through accent walls or statement furniture pieces, bold colors are the perfect way to make a lasting impression.

2. Uptick in DIY Projects:

Personalization is the key, and 2024 sees a surge in the popularity of DIY projects. Thanks to TikTok and Instagram, many people (especially women) are seeing that you can refinish furniture, add millwork, build furniture, even hang cabinets yourself. We're seeing people create beautiful DIYs like hanging wallpaper and making their own window treatments with the right know-how and equipment.

3. Vintage Eclectic Style:

Thanks to vintage stores and Facebook Marketplace finds, vintage eclectic style has been dominating the design scene. Mix and match eras, textures, and patterns to create a visually intriguing and totally personalized atmosphere.

Lavender Fields offers a selection of high-quality, heirloom-quality pieces that bring a touch of sophistication to your home, and that will last for many years.

An Expert's Guide to Laundry Care For Your New Bedding and Towels

At Lavender Fields, we understand that indulging in luxury bedding and towels is a small but significant way to enhance your life. To preserve the look and feel of our premium bedding and towels, proper care and maintenance are essential. In this guide, we share our expert tips on how to wash and maintain your Lavender Fields luxury bedding and towels so they last as long as possible.

1. Check the Care Labels:

First, check the care labels on your bedding and towels. Lavender Fields takes pride in providing high-quality materials, and the care instructions ensure that you maintain their excellence over time.

2. Use a Mild Detergent, and Not Too Much Of It:

Opt for a gentle, mild detergent to protect the delicate fibers of your linens. Harsh chemicals can compromise the fabric's integrity and affect the softness and color vibrancy. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to find a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent. 

New, high efficiency washing machines require much less detergent than the older models. If you add too much soap, it won't make your clothes more clean: instead, it's likely to leave a film on your clothes and make dirt stick even more.

3. Cold Water is Key:

Because of new advances in laundry machines and soaps, you no longer need to wash your whites in piping hot water. Cold water prevents shrinkage and color fading, helping to prolong the life of your linens.

4. Gentle Cycle, Separate Loads, and the Right Washing Machine

Select the gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize friction and stress on the fibers. It's crucial to wash your luxury items separately from heavier fabrics or items with zippers that might snag delicate threads.

If you're in the market for a new washing machine, skip the ones with an agitator column. Instead, opt for a front loader or an agitator-free top loader. These are much gentler on your clothes.

5. Skip the Fabric Softener (especially on towels)

Contrary to popular belief, luxury linens do not require fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can leave a residue on the fabric, diminishing its natural softness and absorbency. They also affect the absorbency of towels. Instead, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle occasionally to maintain freshness.

6. Tumble Dry on Low:

For your Lavender Fields luxury bedding and towels, follow the manufacturer's instructions on drying. Some bedding is best to hang dry; others you can tumble dry on low. High dryer temperatures can weaken fibers and compromise the product's quality. Remove items promptly to prevent wrinkles and maintain their pristine appearance.

By following these simple yet effective guidelines, you can ensure that your Lavender Fields luxury bedding and towels remain a testament to elegance and comfort, enriching your home decor experience for years to come.
