Interior Design Trends: How Homeowners Can Stay in the Know

Design is fashion. Just like your wardrobe, interiors are part of an ever-evolving world of creativity, innovation, and personal expression. Home design trends shift with the seasons, styles circle back in fresh ways, and new colors, textures, and layouts are constantly emerging.

As interior designers, staying ahead of those changes isn’t just fun—it’s our job. We make sure your home is designed not only for your lifestyle, but also with an awareness of what’s current, what’s coming, and what’s on its way out. That way, your space feels timeless, personal, and fresh—not outdated in a year.

So, how do we stay on top of the trends—and how can you, as a homeowner, do the same? Let’s break it down.

How Designers Stay Ahead of the Curve

1. Design Markets

Markets are like fashion week for interiors. A few times each year, furniture manufacturers and vendors debut their new collections. This gives us a chance to see dozens of companies at once, spot repeating patterns across brands, and gain first-hand insight into upcoming styles.

Markets also host panels and forums where industry leaders share what’s next in interior design trends, giving us both inspiration and education to bring back to your project.

2. Industry Magazines & Publications

We rely on designer-focused magazines and trade publications to stay current. These showcase beautiful homes nationwide and highlight regional design trends. By studying multiple sources—manufacturers, designers, and industry pros—we ensure we’re viewing trends from every angle.

3. The Design Community

One of the most valuable resources? Other designers. The design community is collaborative, and professionals are always sharing ideas and insights. This creative exchange ensures trends are not just copied, but thoughtfully evolved into something meaningful for real homes.

How You Can Stay Informed as a Client

You don’t have to be an interior designer to keep up with what’s new. Here are some simple ways to stay in the loop:

1. Follow Designers & Brands on Social Media

Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok make it easy to see global design ideas in real time. Just remember: don’t rely on a single voice. When multiple professionals highlight the same look or color trend, that’s when you know it has staying power.

2. Visit Home Tours & Showcases

Events like Parade of Homes or local design showcases give you the chance to walk through styled spaces and see what builders and designers are creating right now. Inspiration always hits differently when you experience it in person.

3. Ask Your Designer

One of the biggest perks of working with a designer is that you don’t have to chase trends yourself. We’ll guide you toward updates that feel fresh but also timeless and functional for your specific space. Not every trend works everywhere—and our job is to help you identify what fits your home.

Our Takeaway: Trends with Intention

Staying current in design is all about balance. It’s about knowing what’s new, what’s lasting, and how to layer it into your home in a way that feels authentic to you. The goal isn’t to copy every new trend, but to thoughtfully weave the right ones into your home so it feels modern, stylish, and uniquely yours.
