2024 Wrapped: The Colors and Textiles That Shaped the Year

2024 was a remarkable year in the world of design. We witnessed the emergence of fresh trends, bold colors in unexpected places, and a revival of the classics. From neutral palettes to luxurious velvets and pebbled vinyls, designers used these timeless elements to transform spaces, whether creating a stylish restaurant or an inviting hotel room.

At KB Contract Textiles, our design services team is at the forefront of these trends. Every day, we collaborate with designers looking to bring their unique inspirations to life, curating selections that perfectly align with their vision. Whether it's a specific texture, a desired aesthetic, or a functional fabric, our team works to provide the ideal textile solutions for any space.

Based on our sample requests throughout 2024, here’s a look at the top three most-requested vinyls, fabrics, and colors that defined the year.

Top 3 Vinyls of 2024

  1. Olympus: As our top-selling vinyl for years, Olympus shines with 57 versatile colorways and unmatched durability with its astounding 1.8 million double rubs. Its subtle grain and classic appeal make it a staple for high-traffic spaces.

  2. Silvertex: This high-performance vinyl combines a canvas-like texture with a subtle shimmer, making it perfect for versatile applications like workspaces, hospitality, and healthcare. 

  3. Whisper Neo Plus: Blending a leather-like look with vinyl’s durability, Whisper Neo Plus brings sophistication to designs without sacrificing performance.

Top 3 Fabrics of 2024

  1. Linq: Linq is one of our most talked about fabrics, a high-performance cut velvet with a modern art deco design. Its Crypton Nanotex finish ensures exceptional durability, stain resistance, and consistent performance, making it a bold yet practical choice for any space.

  2. Luxe Velvet: A timeless favorite, Luxe Velvet offers a soft, luxurious feel with a lustrous finish. Perfect for adding glamour and comfort, it remains a go-to fabric in our line.

  3. Ashland, Jazmin, and Speckle (All three tied for third most requested fabric!)

  • Ashland: A bold, multi-color tweed weave.

  • Jazmin: A striking large-scale ombre stripe.

  • Speckle: A playful, multi-color bouclé.

In 2024, we saw a rise in chunky, bold fabrics and velvets, adding texture and richness to designs, while vinyls remained simple and versatile.

Top 3 Colors of 2024

Our most requested colors this year were blue, brown, and green, timeless shades that offer versatility and evoke specific moods in design.

  • Blue: Known for its calming and trustworthy qualities, blue works seamlessly in any space. Its neutral-like adaptability allows it to pair with bold accents or create serene, balanced interiors.

  • Brown: A grounding color that exudes warmth and stability, brown connects spaces to nature while adding richness and ageless appeal.

  • Green: Representing growth and nature, green brings a refreshing, organic feel. Its flexibility and refreshing feel makes it perfect for modern or traditional designs.

Looking back at the remarkable designs and trends of 2024, it’s been a thrill to witness and play a part in helping bring creative ideas to life. With so much inspiration to build on, we can’t wait to see how 2025 will continue to push the boundaries of design.
