Traditional Interior Design

After years at home due to the pandemic, the current trend in home interior design is centered around creating a welcoming and comforting ambiance. As a result, traditional design is making a comeback. Although rooted in the 18th and early 19th century, this style can be updated to look fresh.

The symmetry, layered patterns, geometric patterns, bold colors, and intricate details the style is known for has been updated for a beautiful retro-inspired look that allows you to mix new pieces with antiques easily. With this style, you can easily display your favorite antiques, collections, second-hand finds, and more, while blending them with more modern furniture and décor.

When updating your flooring for a traditional style, hardwood remains the best option. Hardwood has been popular for centuries and was the prominent flooring used in the 18th and early 19th centuries that influence this style today. You can also choose laminate or luxury vinyl plank that mimics the natural tones and characteristics of hardwood if you need a more affordable, waterproof, or water-resistant option.

When selecting flooring colors, warm neutrals such as nude, camel, taupe, and natural shades of brown work best to balance the bold colors and patterns that are synonymous with traditional design. You can also choose creams, especially if you're using tile or carpet. Adding an area rug with a complementary pattern will also tie the room together and enhance the overall décor.

Art Deco Design

The 1920s looks are making a comeback, and art deco is influencing home interiors once again. Art deco is known for its bold and creative artistic expression. It features strong geometric patterns such as chevron, curves, sunbursts, triangles, and zigzags.

Incorporating art deco throughout your home may not be for everyone, but you can still infuse elements of this style into your interior design to create a look that suits your taste. For example, you can add a sunburst mirror, a piece of whimsical art with a curved pattern, or a curved coffee table.

When it comes to flooring, consider a hardwood installation featuring a chevron or parquet pattern. Alternatively, a black and white checkered tile floor for your kitchen or bathroom can also work well, as can other tile options that feature prominent geometric patterns. You can add an accent wall or a backsplash with artistically patterned tile. Finally, rugs with bold geometric patterns can complement the other colors and patterns in your room.

Nature-Inspired Looks

Nature never goes out of style. Since people are searching for spaces that feel refreshing, comfortable, and relaxing, design is currently being heavily inspired by nature once again. Natural textures and tones create visual interest and depth in a room. Nature-inspired style may include live plants in your home and furniture and décor made with natural materials including wood, cotton, metal, and more.

Flooring for this style includes hardwood, natural stone, or a carpet or rug made from natural fibers. The textures in natural materials add depth and are visually appealing. These materials also pair well with the rich, warm, earth-inspired hues that are currently popular. When choosing wall tile for your backsplash or shower, look for natural stone, or a subtle neutral.
