Romcom interiors ensure a transition from “sad beige” home decor to personality-driven spaces inspired by 90s nostalgia. This color-centric trend harkens back to a time when home was cozy and pre-social media. Think wealth of bookshelves and vintage furniture.
“For the past few years, we’ve been seeing a barge of beige, but now a renaissance of color is sweeping through our homes,” says Dana. “By combining classic natural wood with pops of pastel color, we create a warm atmosphere that everyone will love.”
“Another great way to add a pop of color is with rugs, which come in a variety of varieties, shades, and colors and easily match any aesthetic. Whether it’s a turquoise trinket plate or a peach Bringing color back into your space, no matter how slow, is an easy way to inject some life into your home.”

This includes floral plates and rose candles, which are great It’s a super easy way to bring the outdoors into your home.”

“Culinary influences are highlighted in television, film, and culture, and this food-focused trend reflects this phenomenon,” Dana explains. “This is a celebration of culinary creativity and a nod to the joy that food brings to our lives.”
In interior design, kitchen trends have already received a lot of attention this year. From bringing the coffee shop into your home with cafe corner ideas to revisiting traditional kitchen ideas in the form of modern cupboards and pantries, there are now ways to improve the functionality and style of these hardworking spaces.

This year, old-fashioned fabrics like crochet, quilting, and embroidery are returning to our homes. Focusing on quality craftsmanship with handmade items, these textiles reinforce the current popularity of decorating with vintage.
Dana predicts that maximalist patterns and unexpected color combinations will be appealing across this range of textiles. “Stripes will still be here this year, but with a bolder approach. Think clashing color combinations, or combinations of stripes and different decorative patterns, such as florals.”

Western decor celebrates all things rustic, and it’s a style that’s making a comeback across the interior world. While Western interior design is truly associated with ranch-style homes and country living, you can incorporate this casual aesthetic into your home by nodding to this core American style through small décor.
“Cowboy-inspired styles are experiencing a huge boom, with shoppers turning to cacti to add a Western feel to their homes,” Dana explains.
“To achieve this look in your home, combine a neutral color palette with furniture in natural finishes like wicker or wood, and natural materials like linen. Sticking to neutral colors keeps everything cohesive. However, animal prints and cowboy-inspired prints are an easy way to add fun and playfulness to your space.”
