Popular Décor Trend in the Northeast: Contemporary

Virginia, Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, New Mexico

Contemporary style first evolved in the 1970’s as a blend of prior styles.  This style borrows elements from popular design trends like modern, art deco, and farmhouse, and melds them into a unique look that can differ from home to home. You will appreciate this style if you enjoy taking bits and pieces of many different types of styles and blending them together to make a home that reflects your unique tasks.

Popular Décor Trend in the East: Farmhouse

West Virginia, Wyoming, Connecticut, Tennessee, Mississippi

Reclaimed wood, wrought iron accents, and wide plank floors are all elements of the farmhouse style.  Using these things as well as vintage pieces and comfortable furniture creates a cozy and welcoming environment. Just because your home isn’t a farmhouse doesn’t mean that you can’t make feel like one.

Popular Décor Trend in the Mid West and West Coast: Mid-Century Modern

Alaska, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington

Mid-century modern has made a comeback in the past several years.  Clean lines, minimal decoration, and wood are the hallmarks of the style.  Whether you purchase a new piece of furniture or go vintage, mid-century is understated and focuses on the functionality of spaces and furniture pieces. The availability of mid-century modern pieces in stores makes it easy to incorporate elements of this design into your home even if you live in an area, like Locust Grove, where there are few homes in this style.

Popular Décor Trend All Over the US: Industrial

Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas & Wisconsin

Industrial style began when industrial spaces like old factories were converted into homes.  Embracing the tall ceilings, exposed ductwork, and beams, Industrial style takes a space that could be seen as cold and turns it into a welcoming home.  Darker colors are often used as well as metal accents.  Texture is found in brick walls or concrete floors.

Popular Décor Trend In the South and Mid West: Boho

South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama, Vermont, Oklahoma, Maryland, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, New Hampshire

Relaxed, casual, and eclectic, the boho style is popular in the south and mid-west.  Using mixed patterns, natural and rustic finishes, and greenery, the boho style mixes it all together to create textures and interest within a room.  

Popular Décor Trend in One State: Coastal

Delaware

Delaware may be all by itself in this category, but it does border the Atlantic Ocean, so it’s not surprising that the design style reflects the location.  A coastal style is relaxed and calm.  A few colors throughout the home, open and airy furniture and décor along with a focus on what’s outside-the water-define this style.

Popular Décor Trend in Two States: Scandinavian

Idaho and Hawaii

Scandinavian design focuses on functionality and light.  Rooms with white walls and neutral colors have minimalistic décor.   Wood floors, natural elements like wood and stone, and no window treatments are also elements of this design.

It’s important to note that every popular décor trend changes and fades over time. What is most important is that you love your home whether it has the most popular décor trend or not.
