Hot Trends for 2024

Trends heating up in 2024, according to UK Radiators

The UK's top heating specialists, UK Radiators, might be experts at keeping the home cosy and warm, but they are also on hand to tell consumers what trends will be hot in 2024. 

And according to them, three will dominate the heating sector next year: Laid Back Luxe, Dark Colours and Raw Materials.  

Rob Nezard, Managing Director of UK Radiators, said: “The homes and interiors sector has seen a steady move towards embracing bold design choices and this is now extending to long-term fixtures and fittings including radiators.

"Standard white radiators are slowly disappearing as more homeowners banish the bland and inject statement pieces. Radiators that stand up in form and function will reign." 

Here Rob shares his insight on the heating trends set to dominate in 2024. 

LAID BACK LUXE

Grey tones can impart a sense of sophistication and luxury and are ideal for pairing with more rugged interior choices, such as the industrialism movement. Grey, with its neutral and versatile nature, serves as an ideal backdrop to showcase the raw elements in industrial design.

Rob said: “A muted palette not only complements raw textures such as exposed brick and metal, but it can bring a touch of calm and ensure the space is inviting.”

DARK COLOURS

Brooding, dark shades are set to take centre stage in 2024. 

Rob said: "A black or anthracite radiator will add depth and drama. Mount it to a grey wall or contrast it with white for a more contemporary look."

CHOOSE RAW MATERIALS

Biophilia, where natural materials are embraced, has been a key trend for a number of years, but Rob believes we'll start to see more raw materials incorporated in the home in 2024 - including metallic elements. Think faded metal, unvarnished hardwood and exposed pipework.

Rob said: "A raw metal column radiator complements this aesthetic perfectly, bringing a mechanical, vintage look and a whole lot of heat."
