As sure as the sun rises each day, home design trends are always evolving. Different decades are marked by their own design ethos, such as farmhouse style, all-white minimalism, mid-century modern, coastal Grandma style, or quiet luxury. Lately, the biggest trend we’ve seen rise to the top is the return of wood in home design.
So, what does that mean? Clearly, wood is an evergreen building material: it’s durable, natural, and looks beautiful. That being said, the use, treatment, and appearance of wood are constantly fluctuating with homeowner tastes. In recent years, we’ve seen medium-dark stains and natural wood grain make a huge comeback, along with warm tones of oak, walnut, elm, hickory, and cherry.
Beyond wood finishes, earthy, nature-inspired style is a major influence on current home trends. As we all crave more time outdoors and the peace nature brings, many homeowners are also choosing to bring the outside in through windows, textiles, patterns, wallpaper, tile, artwork, and more.
