What’s trending and where? Confused.com, a home insurance resource, took its annual look at the latest trends for homes across the U.S.
In New Mexico, residents are loving Japanese home-inspired styles (like white walls and “zen” finishes) while Maine residents are showing more favor for Tuscan styles (with terracotta, iron finishes, stone, and tiles).
The overall favorite among the states, however, is modern, defined by monochromatic color palettes, clean lines, minimalism, and natural finishes.
Modern
Modern design is an interior design style characterized by a monochromatic color palette, clean lines, minimalism, natural materials, and natural light. It refers specifically to a historical aesthetic movement that took place during the early to mid-twentieth century.
Farmhouse
Farmhouse interior design is defined by practicality and comfort, relying on readily available materials and colors. Wood elements and white tones are indicative of farmhouse style. Timber was the easiest to come by, which is why there's such an emphasis on wood elements
Tuscan
Tuscan interiors feature a rustic, sun-baked look characterized by crumbling stone patios, simple and sturdy furnishings with elegant iron accents, terra-cotta tiles, textured wall finishes, elegant, detailed murals, and trompe l'oeil designs.
Japanese
If we were, to sum up, Japanese interior design in one word, it would be – zen. Steeped in thousands of years of tradition, this ancient style, known as “Kanso”, is not only calming but a cultural representation of the Japanese way of life
