Interior designers share 6 trends that are in, and 4 that are out this season
Insider asked interior designers which trends are rising this season and which are on their way out.
Designers said indoor plants, maximalism, and wall murals will be popular this spring.
They also said we'll see fewer farmhouse-style design choices and accent walls.
Natural materials will rise in popularity.
Keely Smith, lead interior designer at JD Elite Interiors, told Insider natural materials would become more prevalent this spring.
"Natural materials will continue to thrive this season," she said. "People are becoming more conscious of sustainability and using eco-friendly materials in their homes."
Pieces like rattan furniture and terracotta tiles fall into the eco-friendly category.
Indoor plants are still going strong.
Indoor plants of various shapes and sizes have been popular as people spent more time at home over the past few years, and the trend doesn't seem to be slowing down.
Smith said they "look beautiful" and "add a touch of nature to a space, which is always a plus."
Darker colors will be in.
Interior designer Rudolph Diesel said a shift to darker colors is on the horizon this spring.
"Our homes will be going darker this spring as our love for all things gothic — think Wednesday Addams — picks up steam, with a move away from lighter, natural colors," Diesel said.
According to the designer, homeowners can avoid a gloomy look by pairing moody tones with pops of bright color to add a dramatic but lifting contrast.
Maximalism is a creative spring trend.
According to interior designer Shanade McAllister-Fisher, maximalism will replace minimalistic styles as people incorporate more fun and creativity in their spaces.
"This trend sees a move away from the simple, clean lines of minimalism and embraces all things bold and bright, with an emphasis on decoration and personality," McAllister-Fisher told Insider.
This trend will be less about clutter and more about curating creative accessories in the home, like decorative wallpaper, gallery walls, and retro-style candles.
Wall murals are having a major moment.
Catherine Hooper, the owner and lead designer of iSPY Home Design, told Insider wall murals would continue to be popular this spring.
