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.

Bohemian is way better the Biegeho

I agree 100%!! I'm mostly bedridden from chronic pain & illness, and bright colors and my eclectic collection of stuff makes me happier.

[@cj222100]

Same! I've always liked doing plain white walls, but then very colorful & eclectic art & decor. Lol even my bedroom growing up was basically a version of that (ofc, a very 90s version of it lol)

[@cheyennesutton2055]

Yes! I agree with you!

[@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.

Scandinavian and Mid-Century Modern will NEVER be out of style for me!

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.

MCM is a classic aesthetic, whether it’s in or not. Modern farmhouse seems more made up by retailers and HGTV

[@snoopybluejeans]

Especially by Joanna Gaines.

[@hopegoodwin2728]

Modern farmhouse is much more livable than 80s and 90s country.

[@marenwilliams2787]

Yaaaaaassss! So agree

[@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.

[@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.

[@birdsongforest7950]

I feel like post modern style has a preschool vibe. I lived through it in the 90s, didn't like it then either

[@francoiselafferty-hancock5112]

Yes, I just can't do post modern either. And was shocked to hear that Bum Stool was marble! I mean obscene AND uncomfortable. Probably also likely to cause piles too, due to how freezing cold marble is. No thanks!

​@@francoiselafferty-hancock5112 It's not obscene at all. Other marble statues have much more explicitly sculpted detail. 😂

[@jonathanraithel5726]

As a 90s kid, I will forever associate post modernism with arcades and playhouses like Chuck E Cheese. Even then I found it bizarre and ugly.

[@cheesedemon88]

I think post modern can be fun for an area where you only stay for a short while, like a hotel room, or a cafe, but I could never live like that, there’s something exhausting about the whole style.

[@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?

[@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.

[@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 🤣.

[@1974angels]

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 😊

[@valentina_melethiel]

I adore seeing a return to traditional. I recently bought a lovely, 1945 Colonial Revival style Home. It is the traditional decor styles and traditional elements that look the most aesthetically-pleasing inside. I am now obsessively adoring panel molding for the walls and ceilings, elegant ceiling medallions for the incoming Vintage chandeliers as well as numerous Vintage pieces. I equate traditional with elegance.

[@GenericAccountVLR]

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.

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.

Simple, serene and uncluttered.

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.....

The other day I watched Nick’s “The problem with Temu” video and vowed to make this comment on a newer one. This video is a day old now so this won’t be much more visible, but strike while the iron’s hot as they say. The more I get to “know” him, the more I’m impressed by not just his authentic & aware takes on things, but his character too. The way he takes time to convey nonjudgmental understanding of uploaders who promote things that might clash with his principles is super cool. I would definitely hide the fact that I watch interior design videos and this started as more of a guilty pleasure, but I’m hooked on this channel

I'm so glad that traditional is coming back in. It fits in well with my southern cottage style, with the overstuffed furniture and ornate moldings, etc. I love brass, and it fits so well into traditional style. You can do so much with it, like make it sort of a sophisticated glam without the glitz.

Hey Nick. Can you go deeper into the dark, masculine art deco style like the pictures at 18:06? I love that old 1920s-1930s masculine style of art deco and the gentleman's club esque style of the guilded age mansions that came slightly before. I know you have touched on the types of designs they're based on before, but I'd love to see you go into greater detail about these things specifically. Hope this makes sense lol

[@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 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.

[@TeambuxtonRealtors]

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!!!

Check out the houses for sale on libe, the $20,000,000 house looks just like a $200,000! I have a friend who married a wealthy man and they bought a huge open concept home. It is almost impossble to properly decorate! In fact, the pool is so huge no pool company will service it!

[@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.

Thank you! I used to be all about traditional, but it started looking old and tired to me. Then I tried to change to a mix of rustic, farmhouse, and industrial, but it didn’t really work. I found I preferred the traditional look. I’m glad to know that I can style using New Traditional. This makes so much sense for me. I don’t use a lot of pattern, but I like rolled arms, muted colors, worn leather, and carved wood features.

[@vaderladyl]

It is timeless.

[@pippadawg7037]

@@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. The smart money is on quality pieces that are not trending. The rest is a sucker's game.

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.

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.

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.
