2024 Trends In Luxury Penthouse Design

The world of interior design never stands still. That’s even more true for high-end, luxury residential design trends, which is something we ensure we follow closely to help provide the best transformation of your airspace.

This month, at London Penthouse, we’re going to look at key trends in luxury penthouse design to inspire you. Whether you have a suitable site for rooftop development that you’d lease or move into yourself, allow us to share what we think should be on your list for 2024.

Earthy, neutral tones

As a natural progression from the Scandinavian-inspired neutral tones that have dominated in recent years, we’re seeing a move towards more earthy neutrals. This includes greys, terracotta, off-whites and olive green to add a touch of warmth and to create a calm, appealing palette.

Spa-inspired bathrooms

Wellness has been on all our minds in recent years, and with more people looking to get the spa experience at home, it’s certainly a trend to look out for in luxury bathroom design. From marble and natural stone choices to steam showers and hydrotherapy baths, even the limited space of a bathroom can be used to create a luxurious feeling.

Smart technology

The convenience of technology is only becoming more and more appealing, with the creation of smart homes a common consideration. From refrigerators that feature an interactive screen on the door to voice-activated lighting and heating, it’s all about automation for a smooth way of living. 

Contrasting textures

While not necessarily a new approach to interior design, contrasting the textures will continue to feature in high-end spaces. That means mixing the rough – exposed brick, concrete and wood – with the smooth and soft – faux shaggy rugs, plump sofas and floor-to-ceiling curtains. These subtle contrasts go a long way to adding visual depth to a penthouse space.

Vintage pieces

The seventies are going through something of a revival when it comes to interior design, with vintage furniture pieces adding a touch of heritage and charm to a space. Whether that’s a dark, lacquered coffee table, a pop of colour from an armchair or just seating that is lower to the ground, there are plenty of ways to add a slight retro feel to a home.

Mixing modern and traditional

When done right, mixing traditional touches into a modern interior can really enhance the sophistication of the space. This can be in the shape of a wood-panelled feature wall, ceiling roses or vintage cornices — when combined with a modern penthouse apartment it adds beautiful details and makes the decor feel more timeless.

3D accessories

As if to balance with the simple elegance of most modern furniture, 3D pieces that really pop out and add eye-catching features are something we’re likely to see more of. This can be in the form of curved or bubbled light shades, chunky legs on tables or full, sphere-shaped feet on furniture — little touches add dimension in small bursts.
