Trends (trends - in Lez), are a developing thing that is woven into the fabric of our lives and affects them.
A trend that suddenly pops up out of nowhere and spreads like wildfire (FAD in professional parlance) will decline and disappear almost as quickly.
A trend that is based on a real need or that corresponds with the natural evolution, will stay around and develop accordingly.
It is said that today there is an unreasonable burden and global evil forces that make us want to shut ourselves in the house and make a comforting, warm and enveloping piece of it, but was it less difficult in the 50's or 60's for example?
There may not have been advanced technology, but even then the burden rested on the shoulders of the people.

Once they accepted the difficulty as a fate, today there is a reference and physical aids are being developed that make it possible to calm down, relieve, hug, soothe and comfort.
The year 2024, which began against the background of the most difficult period in Israel since its establishment, emphasizes the continued pursuit of comfort, accessibility, warmth and love that are required to survive.
Artificial intelligence is taking root
The AI revolution is in its infancy, but already more architects and designers are bringing the use of artificial intelligence to their desktops.
The rapid development of the trend will also include the final consumer and make artificial intelligence accessible to him as a tool for designing and planning the home of his dreams, he will be able to characterize his home and receive AI-based results that will fulfill his fantasy or at least show him how it could look in reality.
Use of artificial intelligence.

We are getting to know the GPT chat that already knows how to plan trips around the world and advise on fashion and styling issues.
This year it will enter significantly more into the fields of home design.
Smart assistants
The smart assistants (Siri, Google and others) will further improve their performance and will be able to fulfill with precision many of the functions they already fulfill today and will also offer new functions.
In the automotive world, for example, autonomous vehicles will turn driving time into free time where you can rest, play, read and work, partly through the use of smart assistants that will also maintain a safe space.
The futuristic vehicle will combine lounge chairs, pull-out tables and other elements.

The domestic space will develop in the same direction and the benefits of the trend will be felt with the assistants that will bring a greater degree of comfort to the living space, such as baking ovens that know how to recognize what goes into them and adjust the correct baking program and more.
Warmth in a peach shade
The peach shade is a kind of psychological mood booster.
The shade is gentle and warm in equal measure.
It embraces with significant gentleness, instills optimism in the observer and some of the global trend agencies have chosen it as their color for 2024. When it comes to home design, it will be reflected in dining and serving dishes, power walls, furniture items and more.

Pets - family members for everything who get a room to themselves
Dogs and cats are man's best friends.
Adopting and raising pets is a fascinating trend that develops every year - starting with dog fashion that offers collections of clothing items, healthy foods, hotels and special and especially pampering beds and psychological therapy.
The year 2024 speaks of the development of the trend in which we will see more homes that plan a special room for the pet or another defined area in the house.
If we once hid the pet's food utensils, then the developing trend does exactly the opposite and gives our dog and cat the utmost respect and treatment - family members for all intents and purposes.
The interior designers include the pet in the set of considerations and plan rooms or corners and parts of rooms for them.
curtains
The curtains have always been here.
The trend of the giant developers pushed them a little aside in the last decade, but it seems that they are making a comeback in a big way.
The curtain helps in creating that warmth and softness that we are so looking for.
The curtains are a natural filter for the light that penetrates through them.

The new generation of curtains offers, among other things, curtains made of fabrics that protect against radiation and those made of fabrics that know how to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house, as well as the use of anti-bacterial fabrics that began to be more in demand due to the corona epidemic, who even remembers that there was such a thing once, two years ago.
Convenience and accessibility
The convenience trend is one of the most prominent trends in the last two decades and is here to stay.
The field of home design is directly affected by the trend that makes customers look for the practical and fast.

You can notice that for almost every problem or limitation there is a company or some startup that finds a solution for it - such as a robot for cleaning windows when it comes to tall windows that characterize the giant developers of contemporary construction, advanced robots for vacuuming and washing floors and also when it comes to less technological solutions such as coffee tables (bites) that reach up to the sofa line or sofas with side shelves that allow you to place a cup of coffee, books and magazines, without having to get up to bring them.
