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

hi everyone it's Nick welcome and welcome back to my channel okay in this video today we are going to be talking about five interior design styles that are out and four interior design styles that are in this video is going to be two parts okay so the first part here I'm going to be talking about the five styles that I think are out the styles that we saw were super popular in the 2010s and that you saw in all the major retailers and then the second piece of this video is going to be talking about

the four styles that are in that you're starting to see all over because the retailers are changing and the changes that they're making in their product lineups are reflected in the styles that we are changing for 2024 and Beyond now if you love the five styles that are out I'm not saying they're bad Styles I'm just pointing out that styles that were really popular before are morphing and changing into the styles that we see now because I'm a firm believer in Styles and Trends really are an extension of or a reaction to the Styles and

trends that we saw before it so let's talk first about those five styles that are out and then we're going to talk about the four that are in and how those five have really just evolved into those new four okay so style number one is going to be Scandinavian classic classic scandy I love this style so briefly let's just recap what Scandinavian design is okay so really with Scandinavian design you're going to see a lot of use of wood the materials generally are natural materials you're going to see a lot of wood a lot of

cotton linen jute Stone right very very popular in Scandinavian design lots of use of natural materials and you're going to see typically those blonde wood flowers right you're going to see lots of use of white as well the color palette is usually really lots of use of white lots of neutrals lot of gray a lot of those brown sort of wood tones as well some pastels usually and then as well as anchored with a touch of black or charcoal very very popular and scandy so the shapes of furniture generally is quite simple everything is quite

minimal not a lot of ornamentation just very simple sort of pair down almost has and forgive me for a second here cuz we're going to get to this style in a minute almost has a bit of a farmhouse feel to it in the sense I mean classic farmhouse right not the modern stuff we're going to talk about but the classic stuff stuff like a windsor back chair to me is a classic scandi piece but also feels a little bit more Farm housy which I really enjoy I think it just feels like a kind of classic

down home sort of country accessible feel that just makes scandy beautiful and Timeless so yes it is a beautiful timeless style I believe that but it is not as popular as it once was and it has changed and that's what we're going to talk about in the second piece but first we need to talk about the next style that is out next style is out is going to have to be mid-century modern I love mid-century modern I think it is beautiful it is often times though it's similar to Scandinavian so I'm really going to touch

on some of the different Es as well right so generally the shapes are quite simple similar to scandi doesn't have as much as that sort of little farmhous feel to it doesn't really have that typically you see a lot of brighter colors being used in mid-century modern so you might see avocado green mustard yellow right those big bright jewel tones right them blue green the green Millennial couch that everybody had right in sort of the 2010s really really popular that mid-century modern so so popular and everywhere right it does use those brighter colors though so

it is a bit different than scandy also doesn't just use natural materials but often times uses sort of madade materials like plastic and stuff as well so a bit of some differences in terms of the material used retailers of course that are scandy and mid-century would be places like Ikea article loves both right lots and lots of article stuff looks very mid-century and scandy to me but you saw this in so many mainstream retailers places like Urban Outfitters had tons and tons of mid-century modern in the 2010s CB2 obviously as well very very popular Styles

in the 2010s but they are changing okay next style that is on the way out is going to be modern Farmhouse okay so again let's talk about modern Farmhouse so why is it out so it's been out for a few years now but very very popular style everywhere right it was so so popular what is modern Farmhouse well it's really a modern take on sort of a classic or a rustic Farmhouse so things that you saw would be things like shiplap right big giant kind of dining room table to fit your 14 kids around or

whatever you got in your farmhous right that was very popular those like Lantern chandeliers and pendants so we saw a sort of like updated lighting fixtures that was the modern piece to the modern part of The Farmhouse right so instead of having anything too rustic you upgraded those lighting fixtures or those Plumbing fixtures to have sort of a modern sensibility right lots of use of white lots of use of black could use a lot of gray or even blonde wood floorings in sort of like you know later iterations but a lot of the gray wood

flooring was very popular in modern Farmhouse as well maybe had a Cheesy sign or two you know I had to mention it so I'm not saying this style is although it is it's gone it is um it's also you know changing it's evolved a little bit okay the next style that is out is going to be Glam okay the Glam style So Glam Glam Glam Glam Glam is a what do you see with Glam okay what don't you see there's a lot going on there right lots of feathers mirrored Furniture rhinestone sequins right it was

arguably gudy but it was a style that felt glamorous but also in a really coste effective way that's what we're going to say it was a very cost effective way to achieve something that but was glamorous and I think that was really sort of what I saw with the Glam St you saw lots of sort of Cheaper gold accents silver what else did you see like pink lots of millennial pink was used there white very very popular mirrored finishes very popular like the mirrored nightstands glass lots of glass glass coffee tables right you know lots

of different interesting things that was really the Glam style was very very popular it was very popular style also to mix in so mid-century modern Glam felt very West Elm sort of mid late 2010 to me very very popular there you see it in home sense right I mean home sense HomeGoods they love The Farmhouse stuff over there as well but you also see a lot of Glam stuff to me also in home sense yeah it's a it's a style that was very popular less popular now and I think what it's replaced it I think

is a much better Improvement okay then the fifth Style I want to talk about that is out is going to be boho Bohemian style now I feel bad for Bohemian because I feel like it's a lot of people really don't like it but the thing is is that there's sort of like a classic Bohemian look that can actually be quite l Lely that has changed and become something a little bit different or at least did in the 2010s so classic boho to me is just Bohemian it's really meant to be reflective of a person's wandering

sort of Lifestyle right so you may have picked up a rug from Morocco and then you may have picked up something when you went on your trip to Japan and then you may have gone to France and picked up something and it just sort of is a reflection of a lot of it's very eclectic right like it's a bunch of different things that should really reflect you and sort of your Bohemian lifestyle at least that's the idea now of course it changed and evolved and became sort of instagrammed and then kind of evolved into something

that was a little bit different we saw a lot of sort of basket pendant sort of vintage rugs maybe mixed in or wannabe sort of vintage rugs mixed in and then I think also as that style sort of evolved it became a little bit less colorful and more neutral as time went on so a lot of sort of creamy colors beigy sort of white all sort of neutral look became very popular in sort of late stage boho if you will that became really really popular and boho is not as popular as it once was because

I think at its core it sort of the modern sort of interpretation of what boho was was sort of kind of at odds with the ethos of what original boho was supposed to be and so really sort of just kind of felt a little flat and felt a little like Sam Sam like it was trying to be like look at these Global influences in my gorgeous living room and you're like now you actually just picked that all up at home ofers you know what I mean not the same thing as what classic Bohemians were trying

to achieve so those are the five styles that came and went but again did they go or did they just evolve and change or reflect into what we see moving forward I would argue the latter and the first style I think that's really important to talk about is organic modern so organic modern sort of took some of the best pieces that you had from Scandinavian and mid-century and maybe even dare I say a little Farmhouse and brought it into something that felt really new and a little bit more Fresh So organic modern really sort of

brought in some of the simple shapes that you had seen in scandy and mid-century modern but it had lots of use of natural materials and really sort of paired down but slightly warmer color palette than classic scandi so I see a lot of Scandinavian influences into organic modern although it can lean a little bit of a warmer style it can feel like it's got a lot of beiges and Browns and things it's not too far off the sort of very neutral color palette that you saw really in Scandinavian lots of use of wood but still

the lines felt very modern and very sort of clean with the exception of some pieces that were mixed in that felt very rustic and I think that's the organic part of organic modern that made it feel really fresh and interesting so you might see a lot of like unfinished Woods reclaimed Woods perhaps sort of thrown in there lots of use of sort of curved lines or even organic shapes right so not everything needed to be perfect sort of really borrowed from sort of Japanese style where you can kind of have things feel Perfectly Imperfect you

know and that was sort of mixed in to the those styles that sometimes you could make an argument felt a bit stale it felt a bit Sam Sam and people sort of were tired of that sort of copypaste mid-century modern stuff that you saw say out of West Elm all the time and sort of you were able to bring in something that felt a little bit fresh because it wasn't so clean it wasn't so perfect it had some imperfections in there and that's what made it come alive and made it feel a little bit more

personal and yes it also borrowed a little bit from Farmhouse as well because Farmhouse really had sort of that kind of imperfect rustic downhome sort of charm that sort of accessible design that sort of made sense for a lot of people felt very real and very raw and that was brought in to something like an organic modern style so this style is super popular because I think it sort of warmed up the Scandinavian palette borrowed from some of the rustic nature that you see in Farmhouse that really made it really accessible and also kind of

mixed in something that felt really natural so instead of the brass fake marbled stuff that you saw in mid-century modern throughout the 2010s and a lot of those manufactured sort of man-made materials instead it felt very raw and organic and real and natural and I think that's really the appeal of organic modern so it borrowed from the best of those three Styles they didn't just go away and die they evolved into something that felt fresh and new and interesting and that is I think going to be a style that we see moving forward for the

next few years so retailers by the way that are using organic modern I mean I see article definitely evolving into this direction you're seeing a lot more warmer tones a lot of the sort of really interesting sort of fabrics brought back in that are really textural very very common RH is going very hard I think into this style crat and Barrel you can't find a color in crat Barrel to save your life have you been to a Craton Barrel lately it is all beig and cream and look I'm not complaining cuz I love beig and

cream but those are like kind of my favorite design colors cuz I just love them but Craton Barrel is all in on that which is really interesting that's definitely sort of the style that you're seeing and you know 5 years ago you didn't see as much of this stuff in retailers but you're seeing more and more of it now okay next style that is in that I have to talk about is going to be postmodern so postmodern style is this is really you know the saying like history doesn't repeat itself but it does Rhyme right

this very much feels like what we had in the ' 80s and '90s when we had the first wave of postmodernism which was a reaction to modernism that came in the mid-century midcentury modern right well we had a mid-century modern super popular for the last 20 years it makes sense that postmodern would be that next Evolution because we saw this show before so what is postmodern well it sort of rejects the function first mentality of mid-century modern of modern sort of design really right it was ironic it was playful it was new it was fresh

it was colorful it was bold it was quirky it was weird and that is the fun of postmodern and that is the stuff that we're seeing all over the place in design now I see this in a couple of different ways I see postmodern in sort of the Urban Outfitter stuff that you see really popular right now very popular with young sort of genz loving the postmodern it's that rejection of the mid-century modern that we saw being so popular and this is a movement into something weird and quirky and you see that in sort of

you know we saw this in the '90s like we had the old remember the phone that was like the pair of lips and then it was like that was your phone like it's that type of stuff just obviously they're not going to bring back a phone like that but it's brought back in a new way and it's the same sort of thing it's it's the mushrooms it's the it's the irony It's the weird sculptural art right it's that sort of stuff that we see so so common right now that we're seeing in retailers again young

people using places like Urban Outfitters cuz that's very young shop for genzies well that's a shop that generally is embracing this trend of postmodernism you are also seeing this though in really high-end designs right like you can see this in K Kelly wiler's like bum chair right it's a obviously a quirky weird sort of chair it's not your typical scandy mid-century modern chair that we saw 100 times right it's a weird chair but it's also made out of marble right so it's going a little bit higher end in terms of the material choices as opposed

to the sort of plasticky stuff that you might see in something like an Urban Outfitters I think you're going to see a lot of this move in to some of our more sort of contemporary but maybe higher end retailers like again like CB2 you're going to see a lot of that postmodern influence coming in more and more you're already seeing it in retailers like CB2 but I think that's going to be even more popular in the future so if you know kraton Barrel which is their sister company they've gone all in on sort of the

organic modern also to me this feels a little bit like an extension of boho and so in the same way that we saw Bohemian design being really really popular with young people I think the postmodern sort of adds to that weird quirky eclectic feel that was so popular with young people that embraced boho 5 to 10 years ago so to me this is kind of an extension of boho as well right so it's not that boho it was looking pretty Sam Samy and that was the problem because it sort of was against the ethos of

what make boho boho so what we saw was postmodern to me is sort of a reflection of sort of that weird quirkiness and that color and that sort of avant guard sort of weirdness of like look at this eclectic curated collection of stuff that I just put together in my home I get that feel from boho reflected in this new wave of postmodernism which I think is really interesting this is a style as I said I think it's going to go high-end it's lowend it's all over the place but it's because people are looking for

those differences of what we had seen in Scandinavian mid-century and just really embracing something that is weird and quirky and unique and that's when we're seeing a lot of those old' 7s couches being brought back right the balini sofa all those the Togo sofa like all that stuff being brought back in is because it was weird and it's different and it's something that was unexpected and something people hadn't seen before until we saw it all over the place and that is why we are seeing this style being so popular and I think we'll continue to

be so I think we're going to see some of the same stuff bought back over and over which you might not like but that's okay I mean I don't love all of it to be honest with you as you guys know but we're also going to see some new interpretations of postmodern which I think is going to be really kind of interesting I will say it's not always my favorite style however I do admire that postmodern takes risks because sometimes the mid-century stuff does really just start to really look the same I admire the risk

even if I don't always love it okay next up is going to be traditional so new traditional design okay traditional being brought back in I think again is a response to the amount of mid-century modern that we had seen before and I also feel this is an evolution of Farmhouse to a certain degree and again you'll have to bear bear with me on that last one so I think that new traditional is mainly a response to mid-century modern because this brings back detail right not everything needs to be simple things can be handcrafted things can

be ornate countertop profiles don't just have to be waterfall they can be something different something that's requires a lot more skill a lot more detail work panel moldings being brought back chair rails being brought back ceiling medallions right being used again interesting ornate banisters in these gorgeous stairwells I think we're just seeing so much more traditional being brought in more color being used and again this is a response to the plain basic simple shapes that we have seen so so popular for many years I think this is a fun one I love touches of traditional

I'm not the biggest lover of traditional necessarily but I will say I'm really enjoying that some of these pieces are brought in as just options for people again to change it up so postmodern is the weird quirky fun version maybe of mid-century modern traditional is the I would argue more classic interpretation so moving taking it instead of moving it Forward into the 80s and 90s we're taking it way back and bringing in some of these you know design features that we haven't used in decades being used again and being cool again which I think is

really interesting seeing this a lot in gorgeous kitchens beautiful colors plac like Emerald cabinets and you know uh antique brass everything just feels sort of a lot of attention to detail and a love of things that are really sort of handcrafted and beautiful and I think that's really really cool so I think that's the evolution that we're going to see more and more traditional being used again which is really cool and again it's the response to what we have seen before okay and the next interior design style that I see all over the place is

going to be Art Deco Art Deco which I love I love art deco I first saw it becoming increasingly popular in restaurants and Commercial spaces and that's because they tend to change so frequently and they're always embracing new interesting Styles and this to me you know we're seeing some of those gorgeous shapes and patterns brought back from Art Deco so those different sort of gilded mirrors brought back in what else oh my God like checkerboard patterns really interesting shapes in gorgeous wallpapers wall treatments so we're bringing back some of these sort of like classic art

deco shapes and patterns but I think it's also the return of some of the new materials being brought in so you know the use of marble like graphic marble being put everywhere but even marble in terms of and Decor pieces all over the place I'm seeing so much marble this I believe is often times really a reaction to the Glam style that we saw before so people still love some Glitz and Glam in their life people that loved the Glam style before I think a lot of people may have looked at it and said you

know I think we can do better like I think we can do better than the rhinestones and the sequins and I think we should evolve this style a little bit into something that feels a little more sophisticated So Gone is sort of the marble contact paper and brought back in is sort of actual real use of marble right so again it's the use of those authentic materials as opposed to sort of the printed versions the effect versions the sort of cheap sort of knockoff versions of the materials that we have seen before these materials are

luxurious they are beautiful they are premium these are not cheap things but we're seeing so much more Art Deco love the sophisticated use of pattern that we're seeing being used once again as opposed to whatever the heck this is which is you know with the GL people love like fine fine fine so much more of Art Deco is being brought in it's being mixed in with different styles again like some art deco mixed in with some traditional is really cool I just think there's so much going on with this style and it's definitely a response

to the cheap sort of Glam stuff that we had seen in the past it's not that that style is dead and gone it's just that it's grown up a little bit and become something that's actually truly luxurious and a lot more sophisticated and I love that to me the retailer that uses Art Deco the most I see so much of it is CB2 both in terms of the materials but also the shapes and patterns that they're using in a lot of their pieces you also see this mantana Lael as a really good example like just

lots of different retailers that you see but CB2 is the one that's sort of the main kind of High Street retailer that I see is doing our Deco a lot so that's it for me for today guys I hope you enjoyed this video I really love seeing how these Styles evolve and change in time I think that's really interesting and again it's to understand what's happening in the retailers and what's happening in design in the future you have to always look at what's happened in the past because everything is a reaction to something else thank

you all I hope you enjoyed that video and I will see you on the next one thanks bye
