Home, Décor: Five Outdated Interior Design Trends to Avoid in 2024

Being at the forefront of luxurious living requires one to remain informed and stay ahead of the latest ideas for high-end interiors. Discover the top five outdated interior design trends to avoid in 2024 and beyond.

Chevron Patterns

Once a favorite among luxury homeowners, the chevron pattern now seems completely overdone. This pattern is present in many high-end homes, robbing the design choice of its original luster and uniqueness. In rooms aiming for an elevated ambiance, the repetitive zig-zag pattern now seems somewhat mundane and overplayed.

Open Shelving

Previously hailed as a minimalist's dream, open shelving in kitchens is now impractical and boring for many homeowners. Dust and clutter, which are inevitable in such spaces, detract from the overall elegance of a luxury home. Kitchen shelving made with upscale, sturdy materials and high-end finishes is much better for modern luxury homes.

Wall Decals

When searching for outdated interior design trends to avoid in 2024, social media influencers can be a great source of information. If too many "home influencers" suggest a particular design trend, be sure to reconsider their advice when undergoing a home remodel or redecorating project.

For example, many TikTok and Instagram users love using wall decals to add visual interest to a room. Instead of following suit, create a more unique and tailored look with high-quality wallpaper or hand-painted murals. Purchasing fine art is also a fantastic way to add visual interest to wall space and be seen as a person with great taste.

Bright Neon Color

While pops of color will always be in style, the loud and brash neon hues of the past decade have faded. Muted, sophisticated color palettes that showcase timeless elegance are now trendy. Guests will be happy to see a visually interesting home that is not abrasive.

Unfinished Attics

Many upscale homes have beautiful interiors that remain the standard for sophistication and style. However, these homes often have unfinished attics and basements that are a wasted use of valuable space. An unfinished attic can become a luxurious space by simply adding drywall and furniture from designer-trusted showroom brands.

Before remodeling an unfinished attic, have an inspector conduct a health and safety inspection. Older homes often have attics containing potentially harmful materials, such as vermiculite insulation. Conducting a safety inspection can be a fantastic way to ensure the success of an attic renovation.

In the ever-changing world of interior design, it is important to steer clear of any overdone design trends. A five-star home should have a timeless appearance and remain on the cutting edge of the latest home décor styles. Avoid the trends listed above to maintain a home with immense visual appeal and lasting value.
