4 Interior Design Styles That Are In | 5 That Are Out!

[@googaasponcon]

Still love boho. Not the all-beige instagram version, but the bright, colorful, eclectic, accumulated, personal version. Even if it's out as a trend, it's still what makes my home feel most like home to me

[@vaderladyl]

Boho is here to stay. It has always been the favorite for the ones that don't need to follow trends and always danced to the beat of their own drum. Of course, I am talking about real Boho, not Instagram Boho.

[@donnayeager2703]

Homes that reflect a person's personality, create a feeling of warmth, and filled with furniture collected over time win me over. I am tired of the stark white/grey homes that look like hospital waiting rooms or hotels and feel just as cold.

[@user-sr1kc6jj2b-p1q]

I know what you mean. Styling a home to feel like the headquarters of some generic international corporation is inappropriate and lacks humanity or any real sense of style. I mean really, it’s clueless. Why do people do that? My neighbourhood is full of these big grey “mausoleums for giants”. Not a shoe or kid’s bike to be seen, and what little gardens they have are so formalised as to look plastic. They stand out even more next to the large older houses where you know it was this big because the family had 5 children to house 100 years ago, and it might even have a ballroom because socialising was important to them. Those houses have lively gardens with overgrown patches, and kid’s bikes on the veranda and muddy shoes by the front door. They show signs of life. I much prefer that.

The problem over time is if you want a particular style, you can't find it anywhere except perhaps an estate sale or a lucky moment at a charity shop.

[@tescherman3048]

I completely agree. Both Scandinavian & MCM have established themselves as classic styles with enough variety and versatility to mix things up so as to always remain fresh. They allow for the unexpected, sympathetic element that can infuse the style with a new liveliness. And besides, when do living materials like wood, stone and textiles presented in their natural states ever evoke artifice or deception? To me, that plain simplicity is the hallmark of a classic style.

[@SchrodingersBs]

Word art is definitely NOT classic farmhouse either. It's typically stuffy in traditional plaids & the like or spare & utilitarian.

[@jonathanraithel5726]

Joanna Gaines made modern farmhouse personal and character filled in the beginning. She has a good sense of style, but as her show went on it became more and more bland. And all the imitations of her have been cheap, kitschy, and tacky. Mass marketed “character” by definition lacks any real personality. It’s the same reason Victorian and Edwardian bay windows are beautiful, and Home Depot’s bay windows are bland.

As a lover of traditional/colonial design this is music to my ears. Traditional never goes out of style but if not done properly it can look very heavy and stuffy. I love putting a spin on things to keep my home fresh. With all the crown moulding and ornate paintings and mirrors it’s nice to add a sofa with clean lines, modern carpeting versus the traditional heavily patterned ones. For me personally, a home should represent you and as trends may come and go always do what makes you happy 😊

[@theaccidentalsenior]

I see how my life has evolved watching this. Farmhouse is what I saw my relatives in the country have growing up. Boho is what I had going to university (eclectic and whatever I could find or was donated). Glam was what I had for my first job and apartment. Got married and then went into farmhouse again as that is what I emulated from my youth as being grown up. Finally realized I hated housework and dusting so went Scandi to eliminate clutter (with kids I had enough). Then went to modern farmhouse (why I don’t know). Finally retired and purchased a 23 year old home that needed renovations as the original owner was from a farm and she brought a lot of that style into her home. Settled on a blend of Scandi-Modern farmhouse-Traditional because I have purchased good pieces over the year and was working to keep those pieces, modernize, and discard the cheap terrible pieces. This is where I am at 🤣.

[@zinnia3190]

This is exactly where I am now that I'm semi-retired. Comfortable, clutter free, sophisticated without being glam-gaudy, but centered around good quality furniture pieces.

[@TheP1x3l]

@jonathanraithel5726 As a 90s kid and an artist, I love the bizarre and the ugly because it causes such a strong emotional reaction. Simply beautiful things are fine but they don't say as much to me.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

I think traditional came in hard because of the wildness of the last few years. When everything seemed to be falling apart in 2020 and didn’t seem to be coming back together I think we all wanted something that felt safe and solid at home. Something that reminded us of the past and maybe even your grandparents house. I know I abandoned MCM that year and leaned in hard to English traditional and my home feels so much more welcoming and therefore safer because of it. Who cares about cool when you can feel cozy?

I so agree with you!!

[@pippadawg7037]

@@victoriajalepeno5755 It is good to avoid trends and buy whatever is "out" because that is when you can afford the best. Eventually the trendy stores like Kirkland, start selling things that are a caricature of the trend or style. Miles Redd said the same thing and said now is a good time to buy "brown furniture" something I have been saying as well. Never buy the trendy stuff from the trendy stores because you overpay for junk furniture and decor. Instead buy pre-owned and vintage "out" items on the secondary market and get the best of everything. My French 1930s deco vanity will never go out of style but that crap from Z- Gallerie is dead. When trends die people sell the good stuff for the same price as the junk. . You just need patience and a good eye.

[@pauledwards9047]

I agree with Glam is going out. But as an interior designer, I can tell you that as long as we have IKEA and Scandinavians, Scandinavian design will be in. Also I really don't think mid-century modern is going anywhere anywhere either, since this is basically a classic modern look. Some of the new styles presented are very interesting though.

[@shinnam]

Have to disagree. I live in Stockholm, there is so much MCM stuff being given away on FB. IKEA stuff is quite cheap in the second hand market too.

[@lsamoa]

@@shinnam Yeah but only because of the sheer volume of it on the Swedish furniture market, and the MCM stuff get snatched away just as fast. It's always been popular and always been easily available at a good price in flea markets etc. Which is why it's so shocking to see how expensive MCM is in other countries where that kind of furniture is not as widespread.

[@maryannkom299]

I’m glad to hear that. A lot of times we take these kinds of channels and look around our homes and go ooh no! I’m out of style, and of course most people don’t have the means to completely redecorate our spaces every 5 year. I have a mid century aesthetic in my home but my furniture is all brown and cream, but Ihave color pops in my throw pillows and rugs. And my accessories are different colors. And of course color on the walls in terms of my artwork hanging in my home. I feel like if I really want I can change things up without changing the higher priced pieces like furniture.

[@pippadawg7037]

@@maryannkom299 The versatility of neutrals with pops of color is a myth. Neutrals change and go out of style too. Plus it isn't all that simple to change your color palette with new artwork, rugs, pillows and accessories. Those things are expensive and some of them are hopefully quality pieces you love. Besides, by the time you get tired of your palette that particular shade of cream is too warm or too cool and that shade of brown suddenly looks too much like green. Not to mention the fact that Mid century will either be redefined or get tired looking. Whatever happens to it, the aesthetic will change. You can't trend proof your house especially if you are pursuing the hardest trending trends of the moment.

[@noniesundstrom119]

It’s always best to take your cue from the architecture first, then designing around it in a way that you can relate to, whatever your favourite style.

[@clairemoniz4341]

I absolutely agree with this. Yes, use the architecture of the home and then the space is not as subject to design whiplash. It looks right regardless of what’s trendy

[@cb4435]

Agreed! I had a very blank canvas apartment for years, and that just reflected me at that time (I’d call it a reigned-in eclectic). My new house has columns and crown moulding, interior trim everywhere, a wall of windows, and unique bits and bobs. I’ve got a lot of traditional: leather, central brick fireplace from floor to cathedral ceiling, Persian rugs on bamboo flooring, ornate gilded mirrors, chinoiserie…velvets, silk, tassels, and vintage taxidermy. It’s what the house told me it needed! 😊

[@Yahsbsuq]

Exactly! We moved into a heritage home built in the mid 1800s. Gorgeous moulding and high ceilings, we took our cue from that and went traditional and ornate. If we had moved into a mid century home we would have adjusted based on that. Move into the style of home you want to craft your furniture around if at all possible

[@briancrink]

Step 1. Buy or rent an existing architecture with character or spend 2-20 years and your life savings building your dream home in ~Grand Designs~ fashion

[@pippadawg7037]

It is always best to take your cue from comfort and the way you actually live and then design around that. A comfortable room is one that makes your life better. It is easy to pick up quickly. It is easy to put things away when you come home. I t is easy to function and live your life. Architecture is important too of course but for me comfort dictates everything.

[@jpp7783]

I love art deco, but the problem with it is that for it to be done right, it’s really really expensive (otherwise it just looks like that cheap glam thing). Also, it’s tough in modern, open-plannish homes. To be not overbearing, it needs a break, and you don’t get that easily when the rooms run together and next thing you know you have 60 feet of geometric wallpaper or some jewel-toned dark finish.

[@missfl0werstar]

I was just thinking that art deco might be the perfect solution to all those bland scandi or japendi minimalist spaces. Pick a few cool art deco accents and you can keep your place as minimal as you want while still making it feel intentional and like a home. If I were a minimalist, I'd definitely go art deco.

[@CalliVogee]

It is so interesting to see how styles have evolved over the years. I will admit, i am a modern farmhouse lover. For me, and i know this is what attracts most people to this style, is the warmth and comfort this style brings. It’s not fussy or dramatic. Its approachable. I do like the direction this style has gone though, with focusing more on natural, rustic materials rather than most of the cheap decor. I don’t think Modern Farmhouse will be going anywhere. Like you said, these styles are still very much alive, but they have simply evolved over the years.

[@SM-qh2mz]

I'm so glad that traditional is coming back in.

You can do so much with it, like make it sort of a sophisticated glam without the glitz.

I just really love mixing all of these. That's where the fun begins, and also your best bet at not appearing totally dated in ten years. Mix your styles and never feel like you have to totally redo anything, ever again.

It is the hardest thing to accomplish, though: a thoughtful, personal, eclectic style that still looks "together." I agree with you regarding mixing things, because the furniture and objects in my home have deep meaning for me. My own "style," if I had to pin it down, would be modern traditional (Nick is using "new traditional" as the term in this video). However, I have some real mid-century pieces that I mix in, and I also have real farmhouse pieces, from actual farmhouses of the past. I am 63 and still have several pieces made in the 1800s I bought when I was 15, from second-hand stores in a rural area where my maternal grandmother's family lived for generations. Several needed careful restoration when I had enough money decades later to have that done, so they could function properly. Someone's home can be a soulful place...that is my overall aim.

[@pippadawg7037]

Eclectic style is my favorite too.

[@pippadawg7037]

@@joannebutlerster If you buy the best of everything then it isn't that difficult to get it to work. In my opinion it is helpful to choose a few styles and limit what you will add and won't add to the mix. Farmhouse is a relatively new idea and has very little to do with actual farm houses. A late 19th century American Farmhouse would probably include a quite a bit of Victorian/ Eastlake Victorian.

[@vaderladyl]

I never believed that a style could be really outdated. I believe all styles can be used perennially and that you should keep using that style if you always truly loved it. Just by refreshing some elements of the style every so often is how you keep it from going stale and that gives it staying power indefinitely. I , for example, have always been eclectic Boho MCM, almost my whole life, but I keep refreshing the style by adapting better versions of things, like say wall color, better materials, etc to keep it fresh. But mind you, if you are truly Boho, you will follow the classic, traditional styling of it, not the newer Instagram version, that is just not real Boho, only a trendier, watered down version of the real Boho. 80's Boho has a lot of Post Modern elements and this "New Traditional" is basically just Transitional style with a new label.

[@Heck_Ster]

I feel original well cared for MCM pieces will always have a place with me. I love the simplicity and quality of the natural wood not found in a lot of furniture today. It will blend well with the renovation of a 1960's river cottage in the woods that is my now forever home and allow me to rotate the many vintage 'prizes' collected over the years to keep things from feeling stale. Simple, serene and uncluttered.

[@AM-ou1wt]

Original MCM pieces are great quality and with a bit of thought can be blended with other styles, unlike Glam which looks off kilter when mixed with anything other than Glam due to nature of materials. Wood adds warmth and we humans tend to like the comfort of warmth, whether minimal or not. I think that is why farm, country, cottage, MCM and industrial with it's hearty warm, can be very comforting and popular. It's a cold cruel world and warmth is comforting. Or maybe we instinctively know we can burn the wood for warmth should an apocalypse occur so having it around could come in handy.....

[@rebeccamusser8523]

I connect with the thought about our current styles being reactive to the past trends,. I'm 55, so I've been "design aware" for a while now, and I'd like to think my own changes in style preferences over the years means I'm maturing or evolving in a good way. Some of course is just craving a change in my surroundings, feeling stale with the status quo in my home. I've also noticed that my preferences are reactive (or counter-reactive) to my life....like when the kids were little and their stuff was always getting everywhere, I needed to decorate in a more spare, simplified way or I would feel overwhelmed. Minimalish was sanity! Now that the house is quiiet and tidy, I'm able to be more maximalist in my decor choices.

[@jennteal5265]

Scandi/Mid-Century is timeless and I've been in love with it since I was a little girl, growing up in the 80s/90s. I think the timelessness becomes more obvious when you look at the transition to Modern Organic. The quality of the furniture is _so_ much better than modern equivalents as well. I won't complain if MCM furniture goes out of style, however, as that means it won't be so overpriced in second hand stores. I think staying away from overly kitschy is the key.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I so wish that builders in the South would HEAR what buyers want from agents who don't represent builders! I am an independent agent and I have clients who look at all homes in all neighborhoods, so we get to hear it all! They don't want BARN DOORS, especially in bathrooms, because they want privacy and sound proofing!. They don't want dark grays and cold looking industrial, because it is not welcoming and family friendly. While they still think they open floor plans, they have somewhat changed their minds since COVID because everyone in the family needs their own space with some degree of privacy so they can focus and concentrate. Besides, in a truly open floor plan, EVERYONE gets to see all the dirty dishes when you're entertaining!!! All white sofas are not conducive to kids and pets. Huge leather sofas, recliners and sectionals eat up visual space in a room and just make you look lazy. People want more outdoor entertaining space not some shallow depth covered porch where you sit in a row and look out at the backyard with no conversation pit. Stop, for God's sake, stop installing these tub/shower inserts that are so small a child could barely fit in there. Bigger showers, fewer tubs, more countertop space, bigger pantries, easier access to storage and better organized storage. After 20 years in real estate, I just wish builders would LISTEN to those of us that hear it every day!!!

Art Deco is so chic that it's timeless and never really goes out of style if you own quality design pieces. I think the glam style was more about people who liked the look of Art Deco, but also couldn't afford the expense of purchasing high-end pieces. I remember living in Manhattan in the 90s and my boyfriend finding these great Art Deco-era pieces at the old flea market on the street in Chelsea. He still has 2-3 of those pieces in his apartment in Park Slope today. I'm not sure how much they'd cost if he purchased them today. Growing up in Manhattan, he just had an eye for style.

@@vaderladyl No look is timeless. They all go through a phase where they are completely out of style and then come back. Then Amazon, Kirklands, Wayfair start mass producing cheap knockoffs, weird bastardizations like a japandy- scandy-industrial-mid- century-sorta coffee table and the look becomes a caricature of what it once was. Then it goes out of style again because people associate it with that junk. Plus people use the style in cheap apartment settings, builder grade cookie cutter tract houses where the look doesn't always marry well with the architecture or lack thereof. You probably think you hate Shabby Chic but if you look at Rachel Ashwell's original book "The Shabby Chic home" that beach house was truly timeless, yet Shabby Chic died because of the cheap bastardized merchandise that mocked the style. Tuscan andFarmhouse suffered the same fate and Industrial is next. What is truly "timeless" is quality pieces that survive all that nonsense.

Dear Nick: If you had grown up in the late 40s and the 50s, you might not have such a love for what we used to call Danish modern ( Mid-Century Modern - Scandinavian). You would have had to watch as your parents got rid of all the older, more solid (not the Victorian dark heavy furniture) furniture and replaced it with a bunch of (to me) spindle legged, uncomfortable (again to me), cold looking stuff. When my parents died 15 years ago, my brother inherited a LOT of it and it was probably worth a lot of $$ as it was the original 50s/early60s Danish Modern furniture. I don't know what he ever did with it, I certainly didn't want it. What works for people like me would be a few good pieces that are warm, welcoming looking, made well and that will last well no matter what's "in" or "out." You might say Traditional, but not going crazy with it.
