Here's Our UPDATED List of 2024 Home Décor Trends

1. Dried Flowers

You’ve seen the trend all over many weddings, with the pampas, but now, many people are flocking towards dried or preserved flowers. Think about it. It’s a win-win, you get a stunning flower but without the maintenance, care or money. Having fresh blooms around the home can get pricey and this is why keeping them dried or preserved is an excellent way to liven any space. We recommend air drying your flora, hang the flowers upside down and for 3-4 weeks, then decorate as you wish, we love centerpieces and arrangements.

2. 1970’s inspired decor

Nostalgia is en vogue. We see it all around us, because fashion usually follows home decor trends. We're witnessing a resurgence in vintage / eclectic decor, especially with the new generation of Tiktokers flocking to the styles of yesteryear. Statement-worthy paint colors are back with a vengeance, since paint is often a lower cost project, many people take the plunge and start with colors. Mixing high-end, durable decor with trendier modern one elevates the look without it being too much. The new generation is inheriting pieces from older loved ones and mixing it with more budget-friendly contemporary ones for a home filled with character.

3. Art Deco

Think Miami Beach and other French buildings. We love art deco! Not only because we’re in South Florida, but there’s something so interesting about the fine craftsmanship of this style. Rich in textures and attention to detail, Art Deco blends the best of architecture with eye-catching decor, for a marriage of statement-worthy decor. Nowadays, with the rise of fast furniture, good design and architecture are hard to come by, this is why many people are opting for timeless Art Decor pieces that pass from generation to generation. Think about small Art Deco details such as art work, entryway consoles, chandeliers, and rugs as a way of bringing those elements to your space.

4. Vintage / Eclectic

According to Pinterest, eclectic interior design vintage is up 850% in searches with no signs of slowing this. This style has been trending since the end of 2022 with the rise of grandmillenial and the yearning of visiting family members. Hand-me downs are back! As mentioned before, the biggest trend is mixing the modern decor with older pieces. Especially with interesting paint colors to get that eclectic look and feel. One way to incorporate this is by adding your faux plants in vintage planters. It’s a great, budget-friendly way for adding pops of hues.

5. Dual purpose room decor

Most of us have had to pivot with the pandemic, with the rise of online learning and work, dual purpose rooms are no longer a need but a necessity. For example, many people like the open concept design for the living room, but now, creating a barrier between the spaces is ideal. One way to do this is by adding large faux plants and trees as a way to signal a separation in rooms, you might want this if your home office is close to the family room. Not only is this a win-win for everyone, but it’s functional home decor, the best kind.

6. Bright and Playful Colors

Express yourself and your creativity through the use of fun colors. The shadows of the past two years have left behind a blank canvas and now it’s our turn to fill our cup with bright hues to signal a new beginning. Bright colors connect with the vintage, eclectic themes we’ve been exploring, because people want an outlet for freedom and their homes are the perfect backdrop. It’s no secret that the Pantone color of the year is Viva Magenta, representing one of the most striking colors known to humanity. This is no mistake, many people will be incorporating this hue into their homes.

7. Front Porch

Honorable Mentions from 2023:

1. Dried Pampas / Grains

You see them all over social media, particularly among trendy millennials, into the chic look. Pampas grass and other dried grasses are the number one home décor trend because of their versatility; use them for most interior decorations. The fluffy texture adds dimension and depth to any space that needs a little oomph. Native to Argentina, don't you want to feel as you're walking through a meadow? Best of all, the dried pampas require zero maintenance. Just add the pampas or grain in a vase or pick and choose stems sporadically for a fun look. Wheat all about it here first.

2. Bold Color

While neutral, cozy-chic colors are still going to play a dominant force in the style world, incorporating a little pop of color will see a rise. Like the fashion world, trends of ruffles, velvets, and colorful pieces in runways are a nod to the past. With the new way of life dawning upon us, we will crave that homey, cozy feeling by incorporating antiques known for being more colorful. Floral prints, Art Deco, and traditional styles will all see a comeback as more people are nostalgic for those moments from childhood. Another way to incorporate color subtly is through colorful planters for indoor plants or flowers that make a focal point.

3. Transitional Décor. Grand Millennial

As we yearn for some remembrance of comfort from the days spent in grandma's house, why not incorporate sprinkles of traditional décor into everyday living spaces. Many young people have an affinity for following the trends and social media mainstream, which tend to showcase modern décor trends. But at the same time, social media has also catapulted some more classic aesthetic recently. With trends, it's important to remember that it's just that – a movement that may or may not be in style next season. Surprisingly, for all the hype modern design receives, traditional has survived the test of time. Add hints of traditional elements to your décor scheme by adding floral prints, china and drapery, sofa slipcovers, and fringe.

4. Modern Farmhouse

We've seen rustic farmhouse reach almost a peak plateau; let's face it; this style trend has been growing and keeps on gaining steam. While rustic, open-air, natural aesthetic are all characteristics of rustic homes, make it a bit more welcoming and warm by adding some chic, colorful accents that can make it feel more inviting. The essence is to blend these styles but with a touch of some familiarity. This can come through flowers, linens, or vertical accents. The key isn't to change your existing décor but to enhance it by adding a cozy touch.

5. Olive Trees

While growing an olive tree might seem like a scary task, you can rest assured knowing, Nearly Natural has an array of trees that look realistic. It's no surprise; olive trees are in. Chances are you own one or have seen ours when you search for the term artificial olive tree. We believe these trendy plants will become even more of a rage that’s why we’re launching a whole new collection of fake olives soon. Why are they so trendy? They're airy, thin, and delicate. And, let's be serious, who hasn't daydreamed of the Tuscan sunset recently? Until next time Italy, the closest we can get is by decorating with Italian staples.

6. Kitchen Shelves

According to Pinterest, kitchen shelves will become a new focal point in 2021. An area that often gets overlooked is the kitchen shelves; it's also an area that seems like it doesn't need an update. Surprisingly, Pinterest has seen an increase in searches for floating shelves, plate racks in the kitchen, and copper cookware. By updating and decluttering the kitchen shelves, you can also save money as this is more economical than updating the kitchen cabinets that can run costs in the thousands. Some people are forgoing kitchen cabinets and opting for a more open plan with shelves that complement kitchen islands. The shelves' clean lines bring symmetry and can enhance a white kitchen by bringing a pop of color from a small plant.

7. Home Library Design

Working from home is here to stay. Adapting to this new way of life has created a need for updated workrooms that are versatile. The home library can serve as a work from home room with a functional aesthetic that can increase focus and creativity. The latest hot trend in home décor is a backdrop of books accented by trendy shelves and greenery. The question has shifted to "who has the nicest backdrop?" You heard it here first; the newest word to trend for 2021 is the cloffice – the new space that serves as a chic storage space. This new petite trend will become big and spread like wildfire on social.

8. Vertical Accents

Even if you don't have a compact space, you can still enjoy some vertical appeal benefits. Why does the fun have to stop on the surface level? If you're really into the jungle, look, why not adorn your home from top to bottom with some artificial boxwood. Home décor of the future will incorporate all home areas that once were considered a bit taboo or non-conventional. Escape from the hustle and bustle of concrete jungles by transforming your home into an indoor jungle with artificial hanging plants. Step into your tropical getaway all from your home.

9. Macrame

Even if you're not into Bohemian home décor, we can all appreciate a good macramé in any space. While we tend to associate this as a global style characterized as an aesthetic of exotic places like Tulum, macrame's now come in all shapes and styles that complement more modern design palettes. Designer Tip: Add a Monstera, Fiddle Leaf Fig, or another plant with large, glossy leaves for a lovely social media backdrop.

10. Neutrals

It feels as neutrals have been in style forever now. They will continue to gain popularity for their perceived benefits of instilling a state of calmness and relaxation. But when we say neutral, this year, there will be an increase in creating the warmth and cozy feel that neutral colors bring. Combine these colors with lighter shades of blue that can further enhance the eye. While neutrals will still have a place in the home, accent them with fun, fiery colors similar to chic hotels. The furniture will be neutral, while accents, flowers, and wall art bring vibrant colors.

11. Natural Lighting

We've been staying at home most of the time. We yearn for the day when we can go outside safely; until then, we can bring natural lighting that has been proven to inject some vitamin D. Open windows often and opt for lighter curtains that allow for more natural light to come in. Having more natural elements will uplift your mood and enlighten you to perform daily tasks better by bringing you closer to nature. If you have a contemporary fireplace; you can open the windows and let the warmness of the fire calm you.

12. Warm, Earthy Colors

Softwoods and oaky accents will become the latest color trend. Brass and gold accents bring a warmth that feels familiar, antique but modern at the same time. Have a small space? Lighter hues can help make a small room feel larger. While minimalism has gained popularity as a lifestyle and a home décor trend, the hottest trend in home décor is Japandi. What is Japandi? A marriage of Scandinavian and minimalism characterized by clean lines, neutral, earthy palettes, and subtle silhouettes. Some artificial plants that pair well with this trendy décor style are pampas grass, orchids, Fiddle Leaf Figs, and twigs. The latest home décor trend is one of calming, crisp, cooling aesthetic that brings the outdoors' simplicity without complications. Think of it as a Zen-like aesthetic meets modern minimalism—less on trends and more on functionality and calmness.

13. Quality Furniture

Spending more time at home has led to rethinking how we use some of the existing furniture we already have. And led to some significant investments in pieces that withstand the test of time. Instead of looking at trends that may evolve every day, having a few pieces that are sure to last will also be rising. For example, you can splurge on a sofa, but be a bit more conservative on the accents and accessories since these are more likely to change based on the season. It would be best if you always looked for high-quality artificial plants as they tend to be more realistic looking and are versatile in their use.

14. Decorative Cabinetry

With the re-emergence of more traditional design styles, decorative cabinetry will continue making a comeback throughout our kitchens, storage, and decorative purposes. Shaker cabinets have become a staple in American homes, known for their clean yet straightforward design; we love them for their humble appearance. However, because kitchen cabinets are on the pricier side, we recommend looking for decorative cabinetry for other home areas with more sculptural prominence. For example, we love the trendy design of circular cabinets with dark finishes. These circular-inspired cabinets blend with mid-century, art deco, contemporary home design styles, or any other aesthetic needing a modern and trendy shape.

15. Home Bars

With more people staying at home and skipping work happy hours, home bars have become a necessity during this time. When creating your perfect space, consider the aesthetic you’re going for. Are you more into a speakeasy vibe or a more contemporary, high-end-inspired cocktail lounge? No matter your style, consider if you want a stand-alone bar or something more permanent where you’ll require cabinetry and countertops. For smaller homes, we recommend a stand-alone bar or pre-fab cabinets, versus for larger houses, opt for something more custom-made to elevate the look. Jet off to the Caribbean with some faux plants and trees sure to complement any style to top off the look.

16. Nature-Inspired Hues

The biggest trend for this upcoming year is the use of nature-inspired hues. Even Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams selected colors with a green undertone as their yearly hue of the year. Because we’ve spent time indoors, many of us yearn for the outdoors and the connections we’ve made there. This is why green and biophilic design have taken the world by storm. But, of course, the best way to add character, charm, and color into a space is greenery. And since some of us lack a green thumb, faux plants and trees can help you enjoy the cognitive benefits of nature without the hassle or maintenance.

17. Vintage & Reclaimed

As we yearn for the familiar, many millennials are yearning for comfort and the styles from yesteryear. Because vintage allows for the use of color, don’t think you have to be more maxi versus minimalist. Many different types incorporate vintage pieces for a well-balanced and cohesive look, including mid-century modern, eclectic, traditional, minimalist, and more. By combining vintage pieces, you’re adding a timeless character that elevates your design and mood. A simple way to incorporate vintage and reclaimed elements are by adding faux plants in vintage-inspired planters and pots. The best part is that vintage is not a trend; you can rest knowing that these pieces are an investment and will last a lifetime.

18. Garlands

We love garlands. And you’re probably going to see more of them in this new year’s trend décor. Their ease of use and versatility make the perfect decorating piece to accentuate any space even beyond the holiday season. For example, as a trending bedroom décor, consider adding a cypress garland above the bedroom for a bit more color. Another area we love garlands is – the staircase because it adds visual interest and colorful hues. Finally, for an easy, maintenance-free option, consider adding a faux garland that’s more economical and is always fresh.
