What We’re Grateful For
This year as the holidays roll around, I am grateful for the new inspiration and micro trend conversations happening in social media that give us a more complex and nuanced way to talk about style beyond the four major buckets of casual, modern, eclectic, and traditional.
Many homes and spaces are no longer defined by a single style and these fresh trend conversations let us push the boundaries and invite more layers into our rooms. For example, Living, Etc. just listed 27 new trends that will be ahead of the curve for 2024. Here are three we’re watching:
1. Recluttering
Just in time for the holidays – recluttering, is here! The trend, according to The Spruce “is making the rounds across social media and among home decor enthusiasts. It’s all about learning to love your stuff rather than constantly focusing on decluttering and organizing.” As Apartment Therapy reported, “recluttering is a celebration of your stuff.” This can include patterned surfaces, wallcoverings, and tile that add more visual impact to a room like this kitchen by Emily Winters Design.
2. Sea Shanty Chic
Inspired by the Sea Shanty craze on TikTok, modernizing traditional folk songs, nautical décor takes a turn towards warm, cozy, and ship shape. This bar by designer Liz Caan strikes the perfect balance between land and sea.
3. Midwest Modern
While Farmhouse is on the decline, a new designer influenced Midwest Modern is emerging with the same approachable appeal but a new touch of luxury and warmth. Designer Amy Storm has coined the term “Midwest Modernish” which she describes as “Modern house, modern kitchen but thoughtful selection of materials, refining of layout and subtle but exquisite details make it family friendly, inviting and livable.”
