14 Home Decor Trends That Are Out Of Style
What decorating trends are out of style in 2024? This list will help you avoid passé designs so you can let them go to keep your home updated, classic, and inspiring.
If you clicked on this post, you probably love to look at trends just as much as I do. There is something so interesting about watching what styles rise, what falls out of favor, and why. I love trends for their oooh, this is interesting quality, and sometimes for their what a trainwreck quality too.
Today, let us talk about home decor trends that are currently out of style, and a few that everyone thought were on their way out but came right back.
Before I get into what is in or out, I like to explain the difference between a trend and a classic. You may have read this from me before, but it is worth remembering because it changes how you look at everything on this list.
What Is A Trend?
Trends are born as a reaction to the world around us. They are creative solutions to what is happening in our lives, practical, inventive, and sometimes even a little ridiculous.
When we talk about trends, we mean interior design styles that are hot or very popular right now. We are not saying that other interior designs are out of style, bad, or ugly, because they are not. They are just not the newest or most popular thing on the design scene right now.
There is one important thing to remember when we talk about trends.
🌿 TIP BOX: No matter how you feel about trends, always use what you love in your home. Because your home is just that, your home.
When we decorate, we should not be overly concerned with trends. What we love to fill our homes with is really a matter of personal style and individual taste.
What Is A Classic?
Oh, I love a good classic. Classic decor is something that has stood the test of time and good taste, and it is always in style. Classic interior design transcends trendiness, although some classic decor floats in and out as the latest trend before it settles onto its high pedestal as the best of the best.
I love trends, but I use them sparingly unless I know they will become classics, or unless they are already considered classic and have simply gained fresh popularity again. I am a classic girl through and through.
Classic decor examples include:
- marble countertops and backsplashes
- white walls
- white trim and molding
- traditional chandelier light fixtures
- pinch pleat window treatments
- natural materials like quartz, granite, and terrazzo
- beautifully preserved vintage and antique furniture
- gilded mirrors
Why Do Things Go Out Of Style?
Things go out of style for a variety of complex reasons tied to social, cultural, economic, and psychological factors.
One of the biggest reasons is simply changing tastes. Styles are driven by ever-changing trends and preferences. What is considered fashionable and desirable today may not be so tomorrow. People’s preferences and aesthetics evolve over time, and as new ideas emerge, older ones naturally fall out of favor. It is human nature. For the most part, we like new, shiny things.
The second reason is media and advertising. When a particular style is heavily marketed and embraced by celebrities or influencers, it can quickly become trendy. However, as the media landscape shifts, the popularity of certain styles fades right along with it.
Do Experts Agree On Interior Design Trends?
Oh, goodness, no. The interior design industry cannot always agree on what is in or out of style. But I look for a consensus. I watch what is happening in magazines, in fashion, on blogs, and on Pinterest and Instagram, and that is exactly what shaped the list below.
You can almost always tell a trend is heading out of favor when:
- The trend has been very popular for several years, and
- It has become very overexposed
Even the most popular trends tend to have an average trending cycle of about ten years. If that trend does not reach classic status, it will likely stay out of style for a couple of decades.
Here are two examples of big kitchen trends. One was and still is a classic, and the other was a totally out-of-style pariah. A white kitchen, as you will see, is becoming less trendy right now, but white kitchens are classic, so they will always be in style. Another example is the seventies orange-and-green kitchen. Once a trend and never a classic, it has been out of style for over forty years, and can we all say amen to that.
So the smart decorator who does not have unlimited money or time and wants to remodel their kitchen will stick to a modern classic.
How To Decorate A Room With Both Classic And Trendy Decor is a helpful post that shows how to use trendy and classic home furnishings smartly.
My Two Cents
I think trends get a bad rap. Most of us don’t wear the same styles we did when we were twenty, and we probably don’t have the same furniture either. We change, and so do the things we like.
My best advice for handling trends is not to take them too personally or too seriously. But know that your decorating choices have most certainly been affected by trends, even without you realizing it.
And speaking of things that change, here are the decor trends currently falling out of favor, along with a few surprising comebacks worth knowing about.
White Kitchens
What The Experts Say
White kitchens have been a trend for almost a decade. If you have spent any time on Pinterest or Instagram, you have likely seen kitchens painted warm white and soft beige and beautiful woods making a trendy appearance over the last several years. No upper cabinets are another popular trend right now.
My Two Cents
Oh, say it is not so. I love my white kitchen, and it is no wonder, because a white kitchen is a classic. I don’t think white kitchens are ever truly out of style, but an all-white kitchen isn’t the most popular choice right now. If you love a white kitchen, it will always look classic and fresh. It just will not be the trendy thing, and I will take classic over trendy any time.
All White Or All Gray Rooms
What The Experts Say
Wall color is strong, and moody vibes are still popular, along with color drenching and color wrapping. All-white or all-gray rooms have fallen out of favor.
My Two Cents
I think all-white or all-gray rooms went out of style over a decade ago. If you love whites or grays, mix them with other warm neutrals and pops of color to keep the look classic and fresh.

Why Decorating With Beige Belongs In Every Home will help you understand why beige isn’t boring and why you should probably decorate with it. After more than a decade of cool gray, warm colors like brown are becoming very popular.

Animal Prints
What Experts Say
Animal prints are making a big comeback. The overdone look is out.
My Two Cents
Animal prints can look tacky or classic, and it really depends on how you use them and what you put them on. I must admit I love animal prints and think of them as a neutral. They add personality and sass to any decor, and they are fun attention-getters.
Keep animal prints on smaller decor items like throw pillows unless you are very sure of your decorating style and philosophy. Use them in every room, just go easy.
Shiny Chrome, Mirror Gold, And Rose Gold
What Experts Say
Ultra-polished, high-shine finishes are out. This includes bright mirror-finish gold, polished chrome, and rose gold. Homeowners are moving away from anything that reads as flashy or overly reflective, favoring warmer, more lived-in finishes.
My Two Cents
I agree with all three. Rose gold was overdone, and its undertones don’t work with much else in a room. Polished chrome and bright mirror gold have that same problem; they read as cold and try-hard rather than warm and welcoming. The good news is that warm metals aren’t going anywhere; it is really the shiny, reflective finish that has fallen out of favor, not gold as a color family. Brushed and unlacquered finishes have real staying power right now, and I will talk more about that in a bit.
Open Kitchen Shelves
What Experts Say
There is a lot of ambivalence about open kitchen shelves. Kitchens with no upper cabinets or open shelves have already been popular for a few years, and we are ready for something new. The same is true for open shelves in bathrooms.
My Two Cents
I am not totally sure about this one. With the no-upper-cabinet-or-shelf trend, I have to wonder: where do people put things? This trend doesn’t seem practical unless you have a very large kitchen, and most of us don’t. I agree that shelves have had their time in the trend sun, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see them slowly fade. Open shelves aren’t a classic, so they’ll eventually say goodbye.
Kelly Green And Ochre
What Experts Say
These colors did not trend long.
My Two Cents
Kelly Green did not have a long run at all. It and ochre look beautiful as accent colors, but neither works well as a standout color throughout your home. I love the soft beiges and warmer whites dominating color trends right now, along with warmer, moodier colors like muted greens. Those tones have real staying power in a way that a saturated, high-energy green never will.
What Experts Say
My Two Cents
Farmhouse 2.0 and Cottage Core are still going strong. These styles were supposed to be out of style a few years ago. When they finally drift into the sunset, sliding barn doors will be out. That said, I do think they date a home.
Word Signs
Word signs are very out of style according to many interior designers. Choose art that says something about you instead of words on a wall.
My Two Cents
Word signs have been popular for a long time, and seasonal signs still work well. But I agree about the rest of them. Try something new. I am.
Open Floor Plans
What Experts Say
Although open floor plans offer plenty of open space, many homeowners want more private space now. Semi-open homes with distinct living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms are becoming more trendy.
My Two Cents
I do see homes with more defined rooms becoming more popular. However, I do not think the open concept is fully out of style. Semi-open plans are very on trend right now, and that middle ground feels like the smart place to be.
Bubbly, Puffy Furniture Silhouettes
What Experts Say
Those rounded, bulbous sofas and chairs that took over social media feeds are starting to lose momentum. They photograph beautifully but are not always practical. They tend to be visually heavy, hard to pair with other pieces, and often too trend-specific to last.
My Two Cents
I understand the appeal; they look so soft and inviting in photos. But in a real living room, an oversized, rounded piece can be tricky to work with. I would rather see a soft, comfortable shape with a little more structure, something that feels organic without looking like it belongs in a single Instagram post.
Fluted Millwork On Fixed Features
What Experts Say
Fluted millwork has been overdone, especially on fixed, permanent features like kitchen islands and built-in cabinetry. It doesn’t feel as timeless as a simple Shaker or flat-panel door front.
My Two Cents
I love a little fluted detail here and there, on a lamp base, a small accent piece, or a piece of furniture you can change out later. But I agree that using it on something permanent, like your kitchen island, is a risk. Save the fluting for the things you can update easily down the road.
Matte Black Hardware
What Experts Say
Matte black hardware, long a hallmark of the Farmhouse look, is fading as that style itself declines. Warmer metals like unlacquered brass and warm gold are taking its place.
My Two Cents
If you added a matte black fixture and hardware to your home a few years ago, I understand why; it is sleek and easy to pair with almost anything. But as Farmhouse style fades into something cozier and more collected, matte black can start to feel a little stark and cold by comparison. If you love it, keep it. If you are ready for a change, warm metals are calling.
A Correction Worth Making
I like to be honest with you, and that means owning it when a trend prediction does not hold up the way I expected. A few calls from my original trend watching (a couple of years ago) turned out to be wrong, and I think that is worth sharing rather than quietly editing away.
Warm Brass And Gold Hardware
I once thought gold hardware was slowly on its way out. I could not have been more wrong. Warm brass and gold finishes have not just held on; they have become the standard choice in kitchens and baths everywhere. Unlacquered brass especially has real staying power, since it develops a soft patina over time instead of looking dated the way a shinier finish might. If you are choosing hardware right now, warm gold and brass are a safe and beautiful bet, and they will always be in style even if they are not trendy.
Greige
I said goodbye to greige a little too soon. This warm gray beige blend is having a real resurgence, especially in kitchen cabinetry and walls. It turns out greige earned its place as a true modern neutral, not just a passing trend, and I am happy to admit I was wrong on this one.
Trends will always come and go, and that is part of what makes decorating fun. But do not let a list like this one make you second guess something you truly love in your home. If a trend makes you happy every time you walk into a room, keep it. There is no decorating police coming to take away your rose gold hardware or your favorite word sign.
The real secret to a home that never feels dated is building it around classics first, then layering in trends where they bring you joy. Classics give your home a steady, timeless foundation, and trends give it a little personality and life. Use both, use them well, and your home will always feel like you.

Happy decorating, friend…
I still love my white Kitchen, Sliding Barn doors, Greige walls and semi open floor plan! You are right that if you love it, just keep it! It’s about what makes you happy.
Yes it is, Mary! It’s your home, right?
Thank you! I always enjoy what you share! Some good information to follow!
You are so welcome.
Yvonne, loved this article….I have a white kitchen, and would never go back. It’s a small , small kitchen and when I remodeled I did toy with dark lower cabinets. So happy I didn’t. What I did do, is bring in soft green tones as accents, my backsplash is a 6inch piece of marble from my counters. The rest is just wall painted in a soft sage green…lots of greenery, and a few wooden bread boards and fortunately a large window over the sink which lightens up the entire kitchen, which is closed off from the living area. I do like your styling style and suggestions….I do tend to stay to the classics……
LOVE the sound of your kitchen Nancy! Yes being a classic girl is the way to go, at least for you and me.
Great observations and info, as usual. I guess I’ll always be a classic-style kind of gal because I have to find ways to mix “the modern” with treasured antique and family pieces and items. I think listening to our hubby’s input is very important when applicable. They live in the home also…and are usually the voices of reason. Wink wink
Smart wife! LOVE your comment Deb.
Yvonne, I so enjoy your blog. You shared that rose gold is out and gold hardware is waining. Is the classic brushed nickel? I would like to redo our primary bathroom and would like a timeless design. Also, what is your opinion on the free standing soaking tubs? Thank you!
Here’s my take on metals. Use a metal that works with your decor. Choose one metal for your main hardware and mix in other metals in your decor. BTW: I love brushed nickel. It’s soft looking.
I read recently on trends that built in tubs are coming back in style. Whether free standing will be out or just another option, I don’t know. The benefit of a built in is that you have the surround to decorate or to place accoutrements.
Hi Joanna, thanks for helping Stacy. I think stand alone tubs are classics! You are probably safe getting one.
I agree totally about the brushed nickel looking soft. I removed the farmhouse and word signs and all of that a few years ago, and today I enjoy classical mainstays, I suppose, with a mix of antiques. However, I never even thought about changing the brushed nickel door pulls, knobs, hinges, etc. In fact, I just bought new lamps for our primary bedroom last Saturday, and the lamps have brushed nickel finials. I vote to keep the brushed nickel. I love this blog for reasons such as this and much more. Thanks, Yvonne!
Hi Deborah, thank you so much for the very sweet comment! ????
Thank you Yvonne. You are right on target for your comments… trends come and go so decorators and furniture stores can get those certain few that want to change their homes like they change their outfits… those people truly do not know themselves. I love some minor trends in my home but not many. I/we had never trendy… and never dank the “Kool aide” no matter what. We are a classic home that is more traditional. If you buy quality and stick with neutrals you are always classic. We just finished painting (yesterday) our 2800 square foot home swiss coffee a nice warm beige based white from an antique linen that had too much of a yellow base. It is now fresh, crisp and clean. So excited I do not follow the trends. Thank you for your 2 cents they are exactly how I think… Pat
Pat, you know the secret to a home that stays in style! Thanks for the comment!
I love Swiss coffee! I use it A LOT.
Gasp! Midcentury Modern furniture is on its way out?! Noooooo! I love my (authentic) mid century furniture!
I didn’t buy my furniture because MidMod was a trend, I bought my pieces because I love the style. I won’t be tossing it either ( because it was not cheap ) So I’ll keep my style Scandinavian and sleek and tweak the soft furnishings as and when I fall in love…
Thank you for the great blog!
I hope you read the part of this post that says “No matter how you feel about trends, always use what you love in your home! Because your home is just that… YOUR HOME!” keep your MidMod and your Scandi- use what you love!
I absolutely did read that part and I wholeheartedly agree with it. And in the name of sustainability and saving money I will use what I love
❤️
Love your thoughts on these Yvonne- and I agree with much! A lot of things changing and a lot staying the same over here. Hope all is well- miss seeing you at conferences and events! A lot has changed with those too it seems! xo
Oh, Courtney! What a wonderful surprise to hear from you! And such a joy.
MCM may be on the way out as a trend but complements a MCM home beautifully. In those environments, it’s a classic!
In that case, you are so right Missy! Just mix other styles in with MCM so it does not look like you are trapped in a time warp.
Great article and lovely blog! Just ran across it today while trying to decide on a bedroom update and want to be certain the room flows with the rest of our home . I agree, although pretty to look, at I never got on the open shelving in the kitchen train. It just never made logical sense to me as we are a family that actually cooks in our kitchen and cabinets doors are much easier to wipe down afterwards than having all my dishes exposed. Though I will have to disagree with the Chesterfield sofas being out of style. They are a classic and have been around since the 1700s! Ok, ok, confession…we are a family of readers so there is also some deep nostalgia there as well 😉 But seriously, I’ve seen them very well done for multiple styles and they always look luxurious and classic (leather in a library, velvet in a victorian sitting room, linen in a formal sitting area, even one that looks like a fabric patchwork quilt in an eclectic home). The trick is definitely matching the covering choice and the size to what your home needs (another great article of yours…helped me understand that the scale/proportion of our nightstands was too small for our king bed and that’s what was throwing the look off). Bless you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi Audrey, I so agree about the Chesterfield. However this post is about trends, not classics. Chesterfield sofas are not the new hot things right now. But they will always be a classic.
In my opionion chesterfield dofas will never go out of style, it’s a classic,found in chateaus, palaces,castles,libraries,my church’s gathering area, & thru out in Europe ! These ‘ so called ‘ people ‘ who think they set trends try to control them for their self gratification, to get us to buy new trends they are supporting. Pish tosh.. I make up my own mind,period.
Hi MarBurke,
You are so right. In this post, I addressed the difference between a trend and a classic. A Chesterfield sofa will always be beautiful because it is a classic, but it just is not on trend. Big difference.
I hope the silly style of turning books around on bookshelves so you can’t see the titles is going out of style. It’s absolutely absurd and stupid. Who would want to do that–just because some TV designer says it’s the “in” thing? I could say the new trend is sitting on the commode backwards, and some people would start doing it!
Please don’t shoot the messenger! Oh, I can see you are passionate about this trend, Eileen.
They do that on tv decorating shows to prevent the titles/authors from being shown and having to pay rights fees. Decorators have been silly to jump on the bandwagon.
Very good point. I say, do what looks right to you! It’s always fun to do something different in our homes.
It’s like you gave me the green light to bid farewell to the trends that have overstayed their welcome. Your honesty about what’s in and what’s out is a breath of fresh air.

Oh, thank you! I needed to hear that. Many times I’m the messenger my dear readers shoot when it comes to sharing what things are out! LOL!
I love my sliding barn doors! Used one in the Pantry and gained so much more space there without having to accommodate a door that swung inside! Used another into the main bathroom. The old door swung into my half of the double vanity. Bang! We also live on 20 acres and barn doors are never outdated in the country!
I hope you are right, Cheryl! In our new build, I used a few of these. A couple are an old painted screen for the pantry & it’s matching entrance door for the laundry that we salvaged from an old garage we had to tear down on our property. They are hung in our back hall right across from each other & I love them. Very practical too, as you say. Another stained set in the wide entrance into our den so it can be closed off for sleeping once in awhile. And lastly, painted ones in our master bedroom for our closet & bath entrances. Again, very practical space wise. I guess if we like them, Yvonne says we’re right! ????
As always, great advice and insight. Your blog remains my all-time favorite. Your heart shines through in all you say and do.
Twyla, so nice to hear from you! xo
The only things I agree with that are “out” are rose gold hardware, mass-produced furniture, and word signs. The rest are seen everywhere in print, online, and on TV. Some of these in/out list are ridiculous. Do designers think we are going to change everything in our homes according to their ever-changing minds? I don’t think so.
Lizzy, I’m afraid you have this a bit wrong. No one is saying you should’t have things you love. Acutualy, the many trends that are not classics will look dated after a while. Sad but true! Do you have the same furniture in your home that you did 30 years ago, if you are that old. Like it or not when our old furniture wears out, new styles will replace it. What the industry is saying is that the things on the list are no longer the new darlings and most sought after trends. They are still going to be around, at least for awhile. Things like white kitchens will always be classics but two toned kitchens in moody colors are not outpacing white kitchens. Please don’t shoot the messenger or get that worked up. Trends are not that important. Have fun reading the list and move on.
I came here expecting to be irritated, but I actually agree with you on nearly all, if not all, points. Especially the one that says decorate your home the way you want it. But I’m glad to know that some of those trends I never liked will be falling away. I’m so tired of what every builder/house flipper has been doing for the last five years.
Hi Kelly, trends are just suggestions. No need to be annoyed.
Weather we choose to follow trends or not, I strongly believe in keeping furniture and walls neutral and using accessories to update my rooms. I do love the moody, dark paint colors but will use that on a small guest bathroom. Love your content!
Jina, thanks for sharing your opinion. Good advice.
Happy Thursday morning from British Columbia Canada. I am so pleased that I read through your blog today. I certainly learned a lot I know in some areas I feel stuck as to what I should do regarding paint colors, etc. we have lived in our home for 11 years and I have not repainted . I wish you lived closer so I could have you come to my home and give me some wonderful ideas. One of my weaknesses are cushions I always seem to like to use different cushions and I tire of them quickly. The good news is I do plan on having the interior repainted this year but I am so uncertain as to what colours to choose. I have been following your blog for quite a few years and I have thoroughly enjoyed it and your recipes I have made a number of your food recipes, I’ve never been disappointed. I also made the Easter eggs and every Easter I bring them out. I’m very proud of that project. Well, I wish you a wonderful rest of the week. Thank you for all of your information.
Trudy, what a wonderful comment! Thank you for letting me know a bit about you, your home and what you are enjoying on StoneGable. Happy Spring.
I think that if you like something and it makes you happy whether it’s “in style” or not shouldn’t make a difference. I personally do not pay much attention to trends. If I’m happy with my home decor, that’s the most important!
Bengie, I so agree! However you are commenting, so you did read about them. And there is nothing wrong with being interested in trends.
Woohoo! Hardly anything on the outdated list appears in my home! I was getting seriously depressed at one point about my granite countertops in the kitchen! At my husbands insistence, we painted our newly remodeled ensuite and secondary bathroom with a greige paint color and I fought for the beige part of that paint! We have matching paint for the bedroom, but haven’t gotten around to that home improvement task (we’ve had the paint for over 5 years – so maybe it’s just too old to use)! I have one little word sign in the kitchen…a leftover from my “Tuscan” years. I never liked the farmhouse look but I do have a few galvanized steel pieces that will stay in the closet until the decor world says we need it in our lives! I stress between classic, trends and vintage! My grown children are very much into using vintage and color and using what they love. I’m happy for them!
Carol, it’s most important to look at trends so you can hear from the experts because the design industry will flooded with them. However, you have done it right. It’s MOST IMPORTANT to love your home and the things in it.
I love all your ideas!
I would love to see your bathroom ideas. I don’t believe you’ve ever shared any! Thank you!
I’ve always been a bit behind when it comes to trends in decorating. I latch onto styles more than trends, if that makes sense. In terms to color, I do have a bit of gray in my home, but I love it and don’t intent to change anytime soon. I also have a lot of color. My home is historic and we’ve tried to honor that history by not knocking down walls to create the open concept, but it has been tempting. I had been enamored with the country/rustic style, even though we live in the heart of downtown Phoenix. I’ve gravitated more toward your style, I find it very relaxing and comforting. I really try to use what I have in decorating, as I have acquired so many beautiful and meaningful heirlooms over the years. In essence, I agree with you, but I’m not a very trendy decorator anyway.
Hi Sue, your home sound beautiful. Keep your historic home preserved just the way it is!
I seem to have such a problem navigating your blog! Downloading, blips, jumps, ads, etc. But I love your Galette recipe and so many more!
I know, If you and my readers only knew the back story. I’m working on it. Thanks for your patience.
Have you ever published here or elsewhere blog on mirrors where to use them or not. I am wondering over fireplace
And what that may reflect opposed to say over a soda.
Different ideas on expert your 2 cents, etc.
Also lamps are hard for me.
A nice lamp proportions or a buffet lamp. Interested in your 2 cents. Bet I would like the best.
Hi Sherrill, It’s important that a mirror reflects something attractive. Often a mirror over a fireplace reflects the ceiling. Hope this helps. Buffet lamps vary greatly and there is really no perfect height. You want lamps proportionate to your buffet. Sorry I can’t help more.
Oh, reading this makes me so glad that I’m just doing what I like over here! No barn doors, so…. I’m safe there! : )
Liberty
The best way to decorate is to do what you love, works for your lifestyle, and makes you love being in your home. Nice to hear from you Liberty.
My vote is use what you love, my kitchen cabinets are to the ceiling and Maple, reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen growing up. Such sweet memories. My whole house including the ceiling is universal gray. Every room looks like a different color depending on the light and decor. As for beige and browns in furniture, no way I will ever go back. I like using bold colors and they blend great of the wall color. (just my two cents) Keeping up with styles, well styles come and go, but what you love never will.
The number one rule of decorating is to live with what you love! Good for you Harper!
I already signed up to receive message from you. Why do I need to have asign in page pop up the entire time I am trying to read. Please adjust. Most annoying.
So sorry J. I add new offers you might like. If you see a pop-up that means you have not signed up for the offer. Many new people come to StoneGable every day, and I want them to enjoy the extra offers, too. Just click the X and the offer disappears. Hope you can overlook what annoys you to enjoy the posts. Happy Sunday!
I have several strings of white wooden beads that were decor must-haves several years ago. Now they are living in a box except for one lucky string that gets to slither out of a vase like a mesmerized cobra. Do I send these guys off to be resold, do I save them for Christmas decor, or can I use them in some new creative way? I need your ideas!
If you like them keep them or recycle them. If not pass them on.
Open kitchen shelves – who thought this one up? What about the sticky grease that ends up everywhere in the kitchen? I think they cause more cleaning than they are worth; there are other things I’d rather do than clean sticky grease off shelves and decorations.
