If you want to change the decoration of your house, your styling has evolved and you don’t feel identified with the ‘look’ of your living room or you simply need a change of scenery that makes your rooms look like others without being, we have the solution, or the solutions to your ‘decor’ problems. To help you, we have chosen the 10 interior decoration styles that are going to be a trend this 2024 and part of 2025. There are some surprises (the natural has made a hole of honor), some farewells, such as the ‘vintage’ decoration, and we have put on ‘stand-by’ the Nordic who, although we love him to rage, has been with us too long.
1. Ethnic
The best (and cheapest) way to travel without leaving home. Eclectic and exotic, the ethnic style brings together all the decorations that evoke distant lands. Mix warm colors and natural materials, crafts and memories and ‘souvenirs’. Thus, depending on the chosen place, you can incorporate African masks, Asian fans, Indian fabrics, ‘juju hats’… Just one ‘but’ to such exuberance: be restrained. It is about integrating it into your home, prevent it from ‘taking over’ it completely.
2. Rustic
The desire to live in the country or, at least, incorporate its warmth in our urban home has made this style, and versions such as ‘farmhouse chic’, a real decorative objective. Cozy, warm and authentic, the rustic decoration brings together the best of the countryside. To recreate it, think of exposed beams, stone walls, butcher tables, wooden cabinets, checkered tea towels, linen sheets… All this under the watchful eye of a natural color palette, dominated by raw, beige, green and blue. To better integrate it, incorporate some sophisticated details, such as a gold mirror or a French cabinet, and go ‘rustic chic’.
3.Nature
The ‘nature’ trend has been installed not only in our homes, but also in our lifestyle and in the way we see things. It is a green decoration outside and inside, since it has an ‘ eco ‘ side that speaks of certified wood from sustainable forests, paints that do not emit substances, responsible consumption… Led by wood in all its forms and with green plants as its best ally, it combines perfectly with stone, parquet, recycled objects and natural materials and textiles such as hemp, rattan, jute or linen. All this seasoned with vegetable or floral wallpaper and soft colors where white and green predominate.
4. ‘Boho’
If you love Elsa Pataky ‘s style and you want your house to have that air that moves between hippy aesthetics, ethnic touch and a certain romanticism, you’re in luck because the ‘boho’ decoration, also including the ‘gypset’, comes strong this year. It evokes travel and nature, warm and striking colors, wood and natural fibers… The essentials? Dried flowers, baskets and bamboo, jute or rattan furniture. Remember to abuse the cushions and avoid the showcase effect: orderly disorder always works.
5. Contemporary
Sometimes change just means bringing your home into the 21st century and dressing it up to date. Focused on design and functionality, the contemporary style is inspired by both minimalism for its purity and industrial decoration for its raw materials, but it has its own rules. Inspired by the Bauhaus, he is a fan of open and uncluttered spaces, materials such as metal, glass, concrete and wood, and neutrals (white, gray and black) are his best color allies.
6. Warm minimalism
This style that combines simplicity with warmth is perfect for a time that is committed to responsible consumption, changes the concept of home for that of home and seeks to get rid of excess baggage. The result of a decoration that is inspired by Japanese and Nordic trends are spacious and bright spaces, where details, materials and textures provide a homey touch.
7. Japandi
After a turbulent time, which has not yet passed, this style has everything to succeed at a time when we are in need of peace, calm and light. With some basis in the principles of Feng Shui, it is Zen and refined, traditional yet contemporary, Nordic and warm minimalist… It combines soft colours, open spaces and natural materials that leave plenty of room for light. The basic? In addition to the classic futon, Japanese panels or screens cannot be missing, which allow spaces to be delimited or separated according to the moment.
8. Industry
Inspired by the factories of the 50s, the industrial decoration is closely related to the structure of the buildings, ‘loft’ type, with high ceilings, brick walls, exposed pipes, metal beams and glass surfaces. They are associated with raw materials such as concrete, metal or leather, with recycled objects and bold colors, from gray to black through red. If you like this style, but it seems ‘too much’ for your apartment in the center, you can opt for ‘ industrial chic’, a variant that introduces design pieces and gold details, which soften the factory look.
9. ‘Shabby-chic’
Under this name hides a romantic and feminine style, which evokes the English ‘cottage’ and is not afraid of imperfection. Flowers, both in vases and printed on curtains, wallpaper, upholstery or bedding, are essential. To accompany them, nothing better than patinated wood, antique furniture with refined curves or ‘vintage’ mirrors. Regarding the color, the whites and the pastel palette, from dusty pinks to almond greens, are the best choice. Feel free to introduce a dose of lace and rich fabrics.
10. Maximalist
Due to the situation we have experienced and are experiencing, we need a house that always welcomes us warmly, hugs us and makes us feel comfortable. And in this context, maximalist decoration is a good option. We talk about the ‘mix and match’. Of mixing and accumulating without complexes, combining materials and patterns, associating textures and dark colors or exhibiting collections and second-hand objects. This decoration, which moves equally comfortably between flea market objects and baroque pieces, is as rich and unusual as it is warm and enveloping. As always: seek balance.
