As 2023 comes to a close, everyone's thinking about what the next year will bring: We set our intentions, write down some goals, and maybe even try to upgrade our style. Looking back, there were plenty of new styles to try out in the previous year—from tomatocore to forestcore. And in 2024, Etsy foresees everything getting a lot more romantic.
“As we look to the new year ahead, we’re captivated by the theme of romance and the growing trend of ‘romanticizing’ life that is emerging, perhaps in response to the unpredictable state of the world we live in,” Etsy said in a news post. “This year’s top trend predictions indicate that consumers are craving the comfort of a little extra sweetness in their daily rituals, as they elevate life’s simple pleasures and create moments of beauty to savor each day.”
Etsy named Berry as their 2024 Color of the Year, fitting in with that romantic aesthetic and contradicting most of the other Colors of the Year in their blues and neutrals. According to the site, hot pink is on its way out in interior decor, but it’s making space for deeper, moodier red and blue tones. Be on the lookout for berry-colored everything—from knick knacks to planters to blankets.
Beyond the color, denim decor (reminiscent of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s all-denim looks at the 2001 American Music Awards) is back from the 1970s. Get out your denim throw pillows, denim quilts, and even denim patchwork chairs. When you’re getting dressed, you think of your denim jeans as a neutral—and it's the same when decorating.
Along with going neutral in our materials, Etsy's report expects us to simplify our walls. Gallery walls are supposedly on their way out—they've seen been a 16% decrease

In terms of a review of the year as a whole, there is not a lot to say, with it being more a case of consolidation than of change, building on subtle changes made the year before, like moving snowdrops to the woodland, thinning the apple trees to introduce more light to the woodland edge border below, and extending the blue & white borders. Even the current project, despite the organised mayhem it has generated, will only bring about a subtle change to the garden. Within the garden as a whole, mixed weather patterns created uncertainty in flowering times but there were negligible losses from the previous cold winter and no problems with waterlogging during the last few rainy and unsettled months.

School is out for winter break, and if you're a college student, hopefully that means you’ve adjusted to dorm life a bit.

But there are ways to ease this sometimes difficult transition, even if the first few months weren’t quite what you hoped for—and making sure your living space is one that you really love can help out a ton.
Clutter is a normal pain that almost everyone faces, especially when you’re juggling a busy work schedule, kids, pets, and all other facets of life. But with a new year comes a new opportunity to get your home in order and make a resolution (or two) to keep clutter at bay.
Increasingly, news outlets are discovering something interesting: their audiences are tired of gloom and doom stories. Instead of only covering what’s not working, readers want the media to cover what is working: ideas, solutions and actions that are making positive change in the world.
