THREE BALLS RED
A new year brings bold new interior trends and 2024 is no exception.
Team Three Balls Red share the top interior design trends to shop in 2024 and it’s fair to say, it’s all about farewelling neutrality and subdued styling and embracing creativity and fun as clients seek to embrace individuality and create spaces that tell a story.
BOLD COLOURS
Goodbye grey and hello, bold and edgy colour selections.
This year, grey, white and beige kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces will taper off in favour of richer, more eclectic colour combinations
“Grey is out,” says Three Balls Red’s creative director, Jasmine Dowthwaite. “It has been phasing out for a while but we feel it has really gone. Clients definitely want to make their spaces feel more personalised and warm.”
White cabinetry also seems to be on the way out, says Dowthwaite, with clients and designers opting for coloured islands and timber finishes.
“Instead of white, they are using off-white and bone tones whilst timbers are also getting darker and moodier,” she says.
Design consultant, Rebecca Stanley, predicts coloured carpets – such as the lustrous range from Australian-owned and operated FYBER, stocked at TBR – will be popular this year.
“Burgundy and mossy emerald are my two favourite colours for interiors in 2024,” says Stanley.

CHOCOLATE
Goodbye clean whites and hello, rich and decadent chocolate.
Earthy and timeless, chocolate neutrals and brown tones are having a moment in interiors, says design consultant, Kiersten Lowden.
“From upholstery and tiles to paint and cabinetry, chocolate tones will be the colour of choice,” says Lowden.
A slew of new tile offerings such as subway-style tiles in earthy, accessible hues such as toffee and caramel are now available in the TBR showroom, while rich brown statement chairs and textiles – whether subtle or bold – looks striking set against white or with earthy terracotta or greens, offering a connection to nature and promoting a sense of calm.
SEVENTIES REVIVAL
A very welcome blast from the past, 70s-inspired design is back, baby!
Known for its iconic fashion and music, 70s nostalgia is infiltrating homes around the globe with luxe rugs, low sculptural furniture, warm walnut timbers, contrasting textures and fabrics, pops of colour, velvet couches, built-in bars, timber wall panelling and – last but not least – sunken lounges transporting us back to those carefree good times.
“We are seeing a lot of interest in patterned wallpaper as art, too,” says Dowthwaite. “It is definitely a key trend this year, with clients wanting to inject personality into their rooms.”
Three Balls Red is thrilled to work with These Walls, a textile design studio at Burleigh Heads, founded by Sara Hingle, who create beautiful quality wallpaper and fabrics that are designed and printed locally.

SUSTAINABLIITY
Intentional and sustainable design choices
Designers and homeowners have become more conscious about choosing sustainable materials in design and building and this is set to continue in 2024.
“With the ban on engineered stone taking effect in July 2024, it’s predicted that safe and sustainable products will be at the forefront,” says Three Balls Red’s creative director, Jasmine Dowthwaite.
For benchtops, think terrazzo, micro cement and stainless steel while cork, reclaimed timber and vintage furniture and lighting will also dominate in interiors this year.
INDIVIDUALISM
Bold pops of personality
This is the year of highly personalised spaces with custom artwork and bespoke pieces adding unique points of interest and personality to homes and offices.
“Expect an increase use of raw textures, utilising reclaimed pieces, bespoke handles and mixed metals to create an almost curated, eclectic vibe,” says The Design Hookup’s lead designer, Renee Britton.
“We are also seeing bold patterns blended with reclaimed timber, glass bricks, detailed cornice and architraves layered on a neutral base to create the ultimate personalised home sanctuary.”
