Whether you're creating a vision board for the décor of your future home or are looking for inspiration to style your dream wedding dress, Pinterest is a handy way to visualise future events.
The social media app is a pleasing exhibition of what the world is searching for when it comes to food, fashion, photography, travel and much more.
With this in mind, it makes sense that the people of Pinterest might know what way the trends are leaning as we enter 2024.
Rest Stops
According to the social media platform, 2024 will be the year of rest and relaxation as they predict people will plan trips revolved around some "solid shuteye".
"Gen Z and Millennials will retreat to laid-back locales that offer the opposite of a jam-packed itinerary. Fewer nights out on the town, more lazy mornings in bed. In 2024, there'll be no shame in your slowcation game."
Dirt Flirt
If you don't want quite so sleepy a holiday, you can always clock in some active hours in nature.
"In 2024, Boomers and Gen X will load up their 4x4s and head for the mountains—or at least look like they are. Whether you flirt with dirt or you're down to get dusty, off-roading can be an aesthetic or a lifestyle. Time to gear up and add some gravel to your travel!"
Blue Beauty
Fashion and beauty trends are cyclical and it seems that the blue hues of the '60s are back with a bang.
"In 2024, Gen Z and Millennials will search for 'blue glam make-up' and ‘pastel blue eyeshadow’ as they find ways to incorporate this 60s staple into their modern beauty routines. The best part? This blue hue looks striking on all skin tones."
Bow Stacking
If you're a heavy TikTok user, you'll already have noticed a new obsession with bows. According to Pinterest, the trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"Millennials and Gen Z will embrace the art of 'bow stacking' as they adorn their outfits, shoes, hair and jewellery with this oh-so-delicate detail. Bow large or bow small, next year brings bows for all."
Cafécore
Gold bar carts are out, barista basics are in.
"In 2024, at-home coffee stations will become the new way to espresso yourself. Boomers and Gen X will bring the coffee shop vibe inside, searching for everything from 'café chalkboard' aesthetic and 'coffee station décor' to ‘coffee bar styling’."
Hot Metals
The power of Beyoncé knows no bounds. Ever since she kicked off her Renaissance tour, it seems that everyone is wearing silver.
"Cool silver tones and bold chrome are resonating right now. Melty metallics will make their way into the mainstream in 2024 as people trade in their trusty neutrals for something a bit more hardcore. Gen Z and Millennials are driving this heavy metal aesthetic."
Groovy Nuptials
If you're a bride-to-be with a love of all things retro, 2024 will be your time to shine.
"70s-inspired weddings will make a serious comeback. From disco décor to hippy hen-dos, Boomers and Millennials are behind this retro-inspired return to the dance floor. So, let down your feathered hairstyle and say, 'I groove'."
Melty Mashups
When it comes to food, it seems that many of us have been searching for some cheese-covered comforts.
"This trend takes two ooey-gooey, treat-yourself favourites and marries them to make mouth-watering, melty mashups such as 'burger quesadillas' and ‘pizza pies’. Gen X and Boomers will feast on this all-new food fusion in 2024."
