Warm tones, pops of color, and nature-inspired elements are all popular interior design trends right now. gremlin/Getty Images We asked three interior designers to share which trends are in and out this spring. The experts said more people are bringing natural and personal elements into their homes. However, minimalist designs and light-wood tones won't be as popular moving forward. Keeping up with home-design trends isn't always easy, especially as styles seem to evolve more quickly than ever. That's why Business Insider asked three interior designers to share which trends are on the rise and which are on their way out this season. Here's what they said. More people are embracing personal, expressive design elements.

"I'm always into having fun with things like plaids, stripes, and gingham, but with a modern take," Davis told BI. She said this can be as simple as updating textiles like throw pillows or adding a patterned blanket. Nature-inspired elements are gaining momentum this season.

According to Anita Yokota, an interior designer and author of "Grounded Living," this trend extends beyond plants and can include "elements like wood, stone, or natural fibers." Everyday items are being used as decor. Alexander Nevmerzhitsky/Getty Images "We're seeing more of those everyday pieces become part of the decor, whether it's kitchenware or personal items that are styled in a way that feels beautiful," Leah Hook, founder and principal designer of Gray Oak Studio, told BI. The designer said this can include displaying utensils or leaving intentionally styled items, like a stand mixer or measuring cups, out on the counter. Warmer tones are winning people over.

"We've been in a really light and bright, simple decor moment, and now we're seeing a shift toward something warmer and more layered," Hook said. On the other hand, minimalism is losing favor. Pixel-Shot/Shutterstock Although minimalism has dominated home design in recent years, Hook said many people are leaning into a more "livable luxury" feel. "We're seeing a really deeply layered style coming in, where everyone wants their home to feel full of personality," she told BI. The designer said gallery walls, stacked books, and collected objects will be big, as people gravitate toward spaces that feel more cozy and lived-in. Fast furniture is giving way to more investment-worthy pieces. Elena Zaretskaya/Getty Images Davis said people are moving away from mass-produced items and toward pieces that feel more lasting and personal. As a result, folks are investing in higher-quality items that can be reused or updated over time. "I think people want things that are more like heirloom pieces that they can keep for a long time," the designer told BI. "If you buy a sofa that's really durable, you can reupholster it down the line." Pale, bleached wood tones are being swapped with richer varieties. Carlina Teteris/Getty Images Lighter woods have dominated for years, but according to Hook, there's been a recent shift toward deeper, richer tones. "For a long time we were seeing really pale, bleached wood, but now, we're seeing deeper tones like rich walnut and espresso come back," she told BI. These darker finishes can add depth and contrast, especially when paired with warmer color palettes. Read the original article on Business Insider
