The neo deco style lets you have fun with color and shapes. 

#1. Neo-Deco

Neo-Deco style is all about the combination of classic Art Deco designs of the 1920s and the modern flair of today’s design.

Using arches and curved shapes in unexpected places such as curved sofas, rounded kitchen islands, and arched doorways, the Neo-Deco style is graceful and playful. Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz, fits in perfectly with this style.

Saturated, warm, bold, and unexpected, peach looks great combined with metallic finishes and some high-gloss sheen.

You can see the Neo-Deco influence in moody kitchens with dark, glossy cabinets, mixed metals in various rooms, and velvet textiles with tassels.

#2. Quiet Luxury

Quiet Luxury is an understated style. Focusing on high-quality materials and furniture that will stand the test of time, this design style brings a feeling of timelessness and comfort to a space.

A home that features a Quiet Luxury design will use marble, wood, stone, and other high-end materials that remain lovely through the years, traditional and classic furniture with clean lines, and carefully curated accessories that add sophistication and elegance.

It’s the home decor equivalent of owning one tailored suit instead of three you bought off the rack. With layers of thoughtfully chosen textiles and art, Quiet Luxury balances comfort, simplicity, and luxury in a way that is truly gorgeous.

Hipstoric design styles have a eleveated casual feel

#3. Hipstoric

We’ve all seen the rise of mid-century design in home interiors. The Hipstoric style–the word is a fusion of “hip” and “historic”–takes the beloved trend one step further, giving mid-century design a modern flair.

Using colors like terra-cotta, burnt amber, and navy blue with finishes like brass and gold, Hipstoric design features deep, saturated colors.

As its name suggests, Hipstoric design blends old and new for an appealing nostalgia-mixed-with-contemporary feel. Using vintage pieces alongside new items that tell your story is a great way to lean into the Hipstoric style.

#5. Sensorial Wellness

With a similar feel to Nature Inspired design, Sensorial Wellness also focuses on making your home as relaxing and peaceful as possible.

Calming shades of blue and sage green, light greige and blonde, and natural wood make this style feel like a trip to a spa.

This design is inclusive of people with varying sensitivities to sensory input, so it is quiet, calm, and gentle.

Sound-absorbing upholstered elements are used, as well as adjustable lighting and cozy textiles. Sensorial Wellness, as a design style, is a soft place to land at the end of a long day.

The Coastal style tends to be very ‘shabby chic’ but coastal ambiance is a more refined style with coastal flair. 

#6. Coastal Ambiance

Everyone has seen the beach cottage design of years past: rope trim, seashells on every surface, and wooden lighthouses on the walls.

Coastal Ambiance gives you the feeling of a day at the beach but makes it a subtle nod instead. Using colors like cool blue, warm peach, off-white, taupe, light greige, and rosy pink, this style is sophisticated and classy.

It highlights texture with rattan and other woven materials, contrasted with white marble, and plush textiles.

It has a casual and unpretentious feel that invites you to kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

#7. Global Artesian Wanderer

As the world becomes smaller and more connected, many people are enjoying using globally inspired designs in their homes. Items that tell a story such as locally-sourced artisanal wares placed alongside unique artwork from abroad are the heart of this design style.

Use warm, rich colors, animal print, and texture-rich tapestries. And bring in wood, natural stone, and hints of metal to round out this style.

If you have done a lot of traveling, use souvenirs and photos that tell your story as decor. If not, choose options that mean something to you. Let your home tell the story of the world and its cultures.
