My friend, Susan, and I disagree on just about everything except home design — until now. Yes, I understand that an 8- by10-foot area rug would have worked better size-wise in my 10 by 13 living room. But I already had the 5 by 8 rug. I loved the pattern and colors, navy and burnt orange, and had decorated around it.
She persists. If I insist on keeping the small rug (yes), I should get a larger solid rug to layer underneath it, she said, and extend it under the furniture to pull the room together.
So when the rug arrives, I spread out the large, navy rug, lay the smaller one over it, replace the furniture, and text Susan a picture. “Happy now?” I asked.
“Yes, but I think the deep orange would have been better.”
Good thing she lives six states away because I might have strangled her.
So I text the same photo to Christopher, a designer friend I often consult with. Unlike Susan, he does not have a dog in this fight. His reply: “That blue rug just makes everything in the room look cheap. Maybe try a burnt orange one?” He does not know what a loaded topic this was.
Fine. I order a solid, burnt orange wool rug online. I roll up the blue rug and drag it out of the living room like a dead sea mammal. I unfurl the orange rug, which I am determined to like.
I stand back and squint. The orange is pretty bright. Plus, now the smaller rug keeps bunching up and rumpling no matter how I try to smooth it. I text photos to Susan and Christopher.
“Way too bright,” Susan said. “It needs to be a deeper color.”
“I am not doing this again,” I text back. “Your choice is either with the orange rug or without.”
“I cannot in good conscience choose between two bad options,” she writes.
Christopher is more tactful. “Try putting the orange rug in your bedroom. Better to have no rug under the smaller rug than one that detracts.”
In search of closure, I call Jess Evans, vice president of design for Annie Selke, a Massachusetts-based rug company, and ask if I can interview her for a column about rug sizes. Little does she know what she is getting into. I send her a picture of the living room.
“When you have a small rug in a room with no surrounding furniture on it, it can showcase that the rug is too small for the space,” she said. “While I recommend getting a rug that’s the right size from the start, I also love the look of layered rugs, and so do many top designers.” (I am not telling Susan.)
“But won’t putting a small rug over a larger one just emphasize the fact that the top rug is too small?”
“Not at all,” she said. “Layering rugs is an excellent solution when you have a rug you love that’s too small. The layer acts like a border to extend the rug, and the combination is in no way inferior to having one rug.”
Since my first two layering attempts flopped, I ask Evans for suggestions on how to get the right base and for solutions to other rug-size problems. Her advice:
Go lean: To prevent layered rugs from bunching, look for a thin base layer with a pile height of ¼-inch or less, she said. You also want a flat texture. Thinner sturdy rugs can be made of jute, sisal, wool or polypropylene.
Avoid patterns: Choose a base layer with little to no pattern in a neutral color that works with your flooring. The base should act as a frame and not compete with the feature rug.
Add legs: Ideally you want a rug big enough to allow at least the front feet of the room’s main furniture to sit on it. If you put only the front legs on, the rug should extend several inches underneath. If you can’t get all the front legs on, it’s better to have no legs on than some legs on and some off.
But don’t go too big: Leave at least eight inches between your rug and your wall. Eighteen inches is ideal, and fewer than six inches is too tight. “A rug that’s too big looks like wall-to-wall carpet and defeats the purpose of an area rug,” Evans said.

When it comes to home design, we all have our own personal aesthetics and tastes — and on the flip side, I know we can all think of a trend or two that we just can’t get behind. But when I came across this viral series on home design “icks” from TikTokers Ethan Gaskill and Robert Gigs, I was reminded that sometimes it’s the smallest, most wildly specific decor elements that can annoy us the most.

Naturally, it got me thinking: If two people could have so many super specific (and super relatable) hot takes on these design trends, what opinions are the rest of us holding on to? So, I’m turning to you, our BuzzFeed readers, to hear your biggest “icks” and hot takes when it comes to subtle design trends in 2024.
For the record, I’m not talking about the divisive, incredibly popular design trends that nobody ever agrees on: the sliding barn doors, floating staircases, modern farmhouse exteriors, etc. I’m talking about the niche little interior (or exterior) design features that always send a chill down your spine…even if you feel like you’re the only one that ever notices them.
As low-key terrified as I am to admit my biggest “ick” on the internet, I’ll go first. While I am all for fiberglass shower surrounds — they’re straightforward, way cheaper than tile, and easy to clean — shower surrounds designed to look like faux tile make me uneasy. I cannot explain it, but that is my truth.
Maybe your niche home ick is a bedroom with a ceiling fan (stunning!) — and the only lighting in the bedroom is said ceiling fan’s light.

Fun fact: Someone I know (not me, I swear) absolutely loathes patterned outdoor rugs and says that adding one to your al fresco living space is the quickest way to ensure your home gives soccer mom vibes.

Or, maybe you just can’t bear to see another arrangement of dried flowers on someone’s dining table. They think it’s elegant, and you think it looks like…death.

Whatever your niche home design “ick” is, we want to hear from you. And remember: While you can write in with obvious design trends (like open floorplans, exposed shelving, or color-coded bookshelves), the more specific and personal you can get here, the better. Tell us all about the subtle home decor element that makes you see red in the comments below, or fill out this form if you’d prefer to stay anonymous.

Home design trends in any year contradict themselves. For 2023, designers said it was the year of organic materials and muted greens, while other designers were painting walls black for dark academia bedrooms—complete with crows. Trends come and go, but we can use them to inspire ourselves and create our idea of a happy place. No matter how different we all may be, there’s a design trend for each of us—even if it includes crows.
When home decorating, the goal is to find colors and elements that you like and that support the look you want to achieve, and then give them a try. The trick comes in finding a way to try 2024 trends without making major changes that you’re not ready to live with for the long haul. From the many, many trend lists we’ve looked at this year, we’ve chosen styles and elements that run the gamut from bold to understated, and modern to traditional. Whether you’re a moody crow lover or a modern farmhouse diehard, you’ll find something in this year’s trends to up-level your look.
1. Quiet Luxury
Designer: ANA Interiors. Photographer: Ana Cummings
If you’ve scrolled your feeds looking for home design ideas recently, you’ve seen #quietluxury trending. This understated approach to posh emphasizes quality and craftsmanship over flash and bling. Paring down decor, keeping clutter at a minimum, confining colors to muted neutrals, and adding quiet luxury ingredients are meant to inspire calm. The centerpiece of a quiet luxury living space is the cloud couch, a white sofa with a puffy seat and back pillows stuffed with goose down.
“Quiet luxury is here to stay,” says Morgan Olsen, Thumbtack’s home and design expert. “Homeowners are done with loud luxury trendy pieces and are being very intentional with their spending. 2024 will be about craftsmanship over big brands and labels, as homeowners look for reclaimed materials and quality furniture.”
That means buying pieces that last decades rather than the 3 or 4 years of mass-produced furniture. “But who said you have to get the cloud couch?” asks Olsen. Instead, find secondhand furniture by quality makers and reupholster it. Or pare down your wall art and knickknacks, then add goose-down throw pillows and a luxurious throw like this State Cashmere Striped Throw Blanket to your existing neutral sofa.
2. Healthy Habits

Bringing wellness closer to home is no longer a luxury but an essential for many people, especially for exercise and spa experiences. “Homeowners will continue to turn their homes into wellness retreats, prioritizing features that have health benefits,” says Olsen.
According to the 2024 Houzz U.S. Emerging Summer Trends Report, with cold plunge pool, indoor sauna, and backyard sauna all rising in search frequency in the first quarter of the year, compared with Q1 2023. At-home exercise has evolved from a stationary bicycle, with searches for bocce court, bowling alley, and game room all higher than last year. Mentions of pickleball courts on Zillow are up 64 percent over last year. People are looking for homes with private courts and nearby public courts. Pickleball in the driveway, anyone?
In addition to saunas, Amanda Pendleton, Zillow home trends expert, lists spa bathrooms and red-light therapy rooms among the features home buyers are using to complement wellness routines. While replacing a bathtub with a walk-in spa shower is a trend for remodeling projects, you can spend far less and create a spa bath at home with simple switches. Create a relaxing atmosphere by focusing on all five senses. Replace the counter clutter with a flower arrangement or basket of fluffy towels. Choose soft textures in muted colors and a comfy bath pillow, like this Luxurious Cork Bath Pillow by LIVTUUshop at Etsy. Add the soothing scent of essential oils and a source of meditative sound. Don’t forget a glass of cucumber water.
3. Hidden Spaces

Nothing beats a cozy reading nook, according to the 2024 Houzz U.S. Emerging Summer Trends Report. Searches for library walls, reading corners, and book nooks have all gone up this year. Secret spaces have long been a favorite for people who enjoy a bit of whimsy at home, along with out-of-sight storage. The Houzz Emerging Winter Trends Report, released at the end of 2023, shows that cloaked additions are gaining popularity. Searches for trapdoors are up by 350 percent, and searches for kitchens with hidden pantries rose by 250 percent. Say goodbye to the wet bar in the living room and hello to a secret speakeasy bar and lounge, or a wine bar and cellar under the stairs, both searched more often in 2023.
If you’re not ready to tear down any walls or excavate the closet under the stairs, create nooks and hidden spaces with a few easy changes. Give more privacy to a window seat by hanging curtains outside the front of the seat rather than against the window. Hide the entrance to a closet with this Door Mural of Antique Bookshelves by Recallart at Etsy. In the kitchen, create a secret pantry by adding vertical wood panels on and around the pantry door. For renters, this Abyssaly Wood Slat Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper at Amazon is removable; homeowners who want a more permanent solution without the hassle of cutting wood can try the Set of 4 PVC Wall Paneling pieces at Wayfair that mount with adhesive.
4. Blues and Greens

Green is the most popular color this year for home design. No, wait, it’s blue. Blue is the most popular color this year for interiors. Designers differ on this one, but most agree that shades of blue and green are taking center stage in the home. Mitchell Parker, senior editor at Houzz, says blue provides a calming influence.
Sage and gray-green also are on the rise, according to the Houzz winter report. A barely-there sage functions as a neutral on kitchen cabinets, and a darker gray-green provides contrast to warm neutrals. In true blue fashion, however, several paint companies have chosen a shade of blue as their 2024 color of the year.
Add contrast to neutral furniture and flooring with blue or green items you already own, gathering throw pillows and blankets, table runners, vases, decorative containers, and framed prints from other rooms. Add a blue or green ribbon trim to curtains or the base of a fabric sofa without a sewing machine by using HeatnBond Hem Iron-On Adhesive at Amazon; seal the trim with a flat iron (used for hair styling) in places you can’t fit onto an ironing board. For a classic look, we like this M&J Trimming Greek Key Fabric Ribbon in denim blue and sage options.
5. The Return of Creams

While many new homes are still coated in gray from floor to ceiling, the trend is moving away from this cool palette and back to warmer colors like cream, tan, and brown. Stark white walls are too harsh for this year’s earthy color schemes. Parker says beiges, creamy off-whites, and rich browns are the focus for a warm, welcoming space.
If you like the look of an all-neutral, off-white room, add textures and patterns, as well as a variety of tones, to create a more layered look, says Parker. The Graham Leather/Suede Lumbar Rectangular Pillow Cover and Insert at Wayfair has a removable cover to swap for a machine-washable option when needed. Swapping accessories has a big impact, especially if you clear the clutter first. We like this Handmade Wood Table Vase, an organic take on the popular ceramic styles, and the Magalia Wood Tray that brings both functionality and latticework texture.
6. Whole Wall Art

If you want an abundance of colorful expression in your home design, those cream walls act as a blank canvas perfect for art and pattern. Bold floral wallpaper or a hand-painted mural are both big this year. Zillow’s 2024 home trend report shows that many homeowners are into eclectic, maximalist interiors. Murals in homes for sale are showing up 18 percent more often than last year. The good news is you can learn how to paint a mural even if you’re not an artist, with a bit of painter’s tape and imagination.
Wallpaper also comes in mural patterns, including the peel-and-stick variety beloved by renters and frequent redecorators everywhere. Modern botanicals, landscape vistas, and stripes are trending patterns this year. Guest baths are often the place to start, since the design will make a big impact in a small space without costing a lot of time or money. Murals like this Chinoiserie Watercolor Peacock Wallpaper by FabbWallDecor, can be subtle while bringing interest to a neutral palette. Or make a big impact with this Removable Abstract Wall Art Wallpaper by ONDECORstore, both at Etsy.
7. Handmade Touches

This year, embrace handmade pieces that show the inevitable imperfections of craft. Artisans are impacting today’s trends with handmade tiles, hand-thrown serving dishes, and hand-painted murals. Pendleton points to Murano glass chandeliers as an example of the handmade and bespoke features popping up in today’s homes. The colorful light fixtures are featured 58 percent more often in searches on Zillow, despite the sometimes hefty price tag. If this Ares Murano Glass Chandelier at $1,675 is out of budget, support an Etsy artist with this Handmade Dusty Pink Peony Pendant by FloralsBySERRO.
Handmade items make your home unique and add a personalized touch to any room. The 2023 Houzz U.S. Bathroom Trends report showed that 62 percent of renovating homeowners are choosing a custom or semi-custom vanity. Repurpose a piece of vintage furniture and make your own vanity, or add painted details to an existing model.
8. Brutalism
Photo: Zillow
Even if industrial design isn’t your style, the return of brutalism can be a welcome change in today’s homes. Brutalist design uses materials like raw concrete, brick, steel, and bronze. You’ll see organic shapes with raw edges and unpolished surfaces, as well as a streamlined design for functionality. Pendleton says Zillow has seen a 452 percent increase in the number of homes for sale that mention brutalist design.
“The return of brutalism is the most surprising rising trend of 2024, particularly after the hygge movement where homeowners embraced cozy comfort over hard surfaces,” she says. “The hallmarks of brutalist design—raw, organic, and unfinished materials—are already showing up in furnishings, lighting, and accessories. When juxtaposed with overstuffed sofas, curved armchairs, and plush high-pile rugs, brutalist architectural elements can add visual interest and much-needed contrast to a space,” says Pendleton.
Some trends stick around for years. Most people are hanging onto their outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Others come and go, like inflatable furniture. No one is missing that squeaky stuff. As interior design trends have bent back toward the traditional and eclectic, designers are emphasizing a focus on timeless style that doesn’t look dated from year to year.
Parker says modern homes are showing brick, clay tiles, rustic wood, and other materials that signify a legacy rather than a fad. To get a timeless look that works for your space, create meaning through your belongings. A quality collection of original artwork from your travels will never go out of style, nor will vintage area rugs. Antiques are a good bet too because they add contrast to modern accessories.
White bedding, pleated curtains, and anything with stripes serve as foundational textiles you can build upon as trends change. Truly timeless style is about quality and meaning, so make space in your home for what matters most.

DreamPlan is the best home design software if you want powerful tools and simplicity of use.
The interior design program, out for Windows and Mac, helps you create buildings on multiple levels, furnish them with a library of 3D models, and customize homes inside and out. Yes, that even includes landscape design. It’s built to let you easily make modifications and alterations.
But, in our review, what we really liked about one of the best home design software tools is that it’s “designed to make it easy to make modifications, and even goes out of its way to help you understand the app’s inner workings.”
Trace Mode will be especially handy for those with existing floorplans. These can be imported into the home design software and turned into a 3D model.
DreamPlan features commercial and home licensing options – priced at $50 and $40 respectively, but check for regular discounts. So, it has a powerful enough toolset to use on a professional basis. But it’s intuitive enough for beginners.

Long rendering times for low res photorealistic images
HomeByMe is one of the best interior design apps for when the ideas are racing. It’s browser-based – even mobile browsers are supported – and has Android and iOS apps, so you can map out thoughts for your home whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.
Since the interior design tool is cloud-only, you’ll need to stay connected to use it. During our time with the home design software, we were impressed that “HomeByMe offers a very affordable service with a myriad of options. We particularly appreciated the fact that the free plan doesn’t appear to limit your design options, and lets you work on up to three different projects.”
However, we were less impressed with the time it took to render low-res images. Worse, we found the free account pastes a giant watermark all across the image, rendering the effect pointless. HD images are rendered in minutes, and don’t have that watermark.
The platform offers three packages: free, one-time purchase, and monthly subscription. It’s a good way to see which works for you, as the free plan doesn’t appear to limit your design options, and lets you work on up to five projects.
The limit on the number of HD photorealistic images (1920x1080px) is somewhat compensated by offering an unlimited number of lower quality ones (640x360px). You can also place real-world, branded products in your rooms for extra realism.
HomeByMe has a lot to offer. If you’re not too fussed about those images, you can explore and create very complex designs with ease.

MagicPlan is one of the best interior software kits for busy creatives and contractors.
When we reviewed the home design app, we liked its “easy to use features, an interesting AR option, and an original way of generating estimates for work needed to be done. The monthly subscriptions could pay for themselves if designing if your business, and it also offers you two free projects for casual users to explore as well.”
Like HomeByMe, it lets you build designs from your browser, or within the Android and iOS apps. The free solution lets you design two projects. A monthly subscription is needed to unlock MagicPlan’s full capabilities.
You’ll find three tools in one: Sketch, Report, and Estimate. Essentially, tiered subscription packages that offer additional features.
Sketch lets you create interior designs – and, for home users, that’s likely enough. Professional designers will appreciate the inclusion of reporting and estimating tools. Enterprise licensing is also available.
One of the best interior design software tools here is the AR-enabled ‘Scan with Camera’. This lets you scan and measure the room you’re in – although we suspect this augmented reality feature would function a lot better in an unfurnished space.

Best interior design software: FAQs
What is interior design software?
best 3D printers.
Time is a considerable factor. Even some of the best interior design software takes a long time to render concepts, especially when using photorealistic images. It’s a natural price to pay for high-resolution 3D designs. For some, speed may trump quality.
Check the system requirements for the software In certain cases, highly professional interior design computer programs require high-performance computers. In this case, you may need a machine comparable to the best laptops for architecture students or the best laptops for engineering students. These are build to smoothly run complex CAD designs.
Check the price (and pricing model), too. Some options, like HomeByMe, offer free, paid-for, and subscription versions of its home design software. Others offer only one pricing model, so choose the one that best suits your creative budget.
How we test the best interior design software
We’ve tested a massive range of creative apps, including the best digital art and drawing software and the best graphic design software. But whether we’re testing out the top tools for 3D design or the best software for interior decorating, we follow the same fair and rigorous review process.
When testing the best interior design software for homes, we’re looking to see how easy the experience is, how powerful the tools are, and how well the software performs. Designing in 3D can often take its toll on computers, after all.
Asset library sizes are a factor — interior design tools should make your creative ideas a reality, not just a loose approximation. We’re also reviewing these design apps based on use. Unlike consumer software, professional-grade tools offer more advanced features, but might also have steeper learning curves and more expensive pricing models. So, we assessed how well the interior design program delivers for its intended market – whether they’re professionals or personal users.
Essentially, when we test the very best interior design software for ourselves, we expect to see it work for its intended audience — whether they’re professional interior designers or creative enthusiasts.
During our tests across the best home design software tools, we first set up an account with the relevant software platform, whether as a download or online service. We then tested each app using a handful of files to see how the software for interior design could be used for creating indoor spaces from scratch, bearing in mind issues such as ease-of-use, professional viability, and performance.

Today’s advanced smart air purifiers ensure clean air. Photo: Shutterstock
“The pandemic significantly increased the time people spent at home, heightening their awareness of health and wellness,” says Jessica Smith, a brand strategist who co-authored the “Home as Highest-tech Health Hub” section of the report.

More than two-thirds of Americans now say they spend more time at home compared to two years ago, she says. The convenience and necessity of managing health from home have sped up the adoption of health-centric technologies, “making self-care a cornerstone of modern living spaces”.
These innovations range from circadian rhythm lighting systems – that are set to a lower intensity in the early morning, transition to a higher intensity as the day progresses, and dip in the evening – that improve sleep quality, to smart air purifiers that ensure clean air.
“Unlike traditional medical healthcare, these technologies focus on prevention and maintaining well-being, offering tools that help individuals lead healthier, more balanced lives,” says Smith.
Examples mentioned in the report include DeRucci’s AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) smart mattress, which uses 23 flexible sleep/health AI sensors that track subtle changes in position, body temperature, heart rate, and health and has 18 support airbags that instantly respond and support the user’s position and body movements.
“Such innovations will create healthier living environments and facilitate early detection of health issues, bridging the gap between wellness and medical care,” Smith says.
By using biometric data and adaptive technologies, these environments can adjust lighting, temperature, and even decor in real time to suit individual moods and activities
Jessica Smith
In the US, gadgets are not permitted by law to “diagnose” medical conditions – they can only suggest that something may be wrong and that the user see a doctor for a professional diagnosis. This form of health monitoring is becoming more common, the report says.
Trends indicate a growing adoption of remote health monitoring and virtual consultations, powered by AI. They are enabling more comprehensive healthcare management from the comfort of home.
Nanotechnology works by manipulating atoms the size of one-millionth of a millimetre, or less. And it promises to revolutionise wellness at home by providing advanced materials and devices, says Smith.
“For instance, self-cleaning surfaces using TiO2 [titanium dioxide] nanoparticles can significantly enhance hygiene, while nanotech-based wearables enable continuous health monitoring.”

At the other end of the scale, “empathetic architecture” creates living spaces that respond to inhabitants’ emotional and physical needs.
“By using biometric data and adaptive technologies, these environments can adjust lighting, temperature, and even decor in real time to suit individual moods and activities,” says Smith.
Ari Peralta, a neuroscientist specialising in sensory design and wellness and founder of Arigami, a studio at the forefront of multisensory integration and sensory profiling, has expanded the idea to include the effects of fine art on the inside environment.
He contributed a section of the report called “A New Multi-sensory Art for Health and Wellness”. Peralta’s focus is on how immersive, sometimes interactive, art created by generative AI – the same technology that powers ChatGPT – can create environments that are conducive to well-being.
Research shows art can benefit our mental, physical and social wellness dimensions, Peralta says.
Imagine art that can transform you based on your movement, heartbeat or mood, inviting you to disconnect from the acceleration of life and fully immerse yourself in that moment
Ari Peralta
“Movement, touch, sound, temperature, all play a role in shaping our sensory experiences. Our nervous system and our sensory system are intertwined,” he says. The sensory system can be used to calm our “flight or fight” responses.
Immersive art uses images and sound to provide the sensation that the viewer is part of the artwork. It often employs light as a visual medium, it can be 3D, it is often created at a large scale, and is interactive in some way, responding to input from the participant or the environment.
Sometimes the imagery and sound can be synched to the participant’s biorhythms, like a heartbeat.
“Imagine art that can transform you based on your movement, heartbeat or mood, inviting you to disconnect from the acceleration of life and fully immerse yourself in that moment,” he says.
“Thanks to new AI technology, art is becoming more participatory, interactive and holistic.”

Science supports the value in art therapy.
“Extensive research coming out of healthcare facilities indicates that art can reduce patient and personnel stress, curb depression and even reduce pain, therefore promoting a healing environment,” he writes.
“Neuroscience studies confirm that immersive and multisensory art can stimulate the higher-level areas of the brain responsible for creativity and imagination,” he adds. This frees the brain from anxiety and allows space “for inspiration”.
Peralta highlights a recent study that used qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) tests that measure electrical activity in the form of brain wave patterns to learn more about the effects of abstract art.
It confirmed an increase in the test subject’s brain voltage, and noted the activation of more regions of the brain when they were viewing abstract art and the brain was challenged to create its own interpretation of it, he says.

Everything is coming together to make wellness a priority in the design world, he says.
“Working at the dawn of the next technological revolution offered by generative AI, art-as-wellness and its potential positive impact on human well-being are among the most exciting new fields to explore.”
In the world of interior design, earthy colors have long been celebrated for their ability to create spaces that feel warm, grounded, and inviting. Inspired by the hues found in nature, such as rich browns, warm beiges, and lush greens, earthy color palettes can transform your home into a tranquil retreat. So whether you’re looking at homes for sale in Fort Worth, TX, already renting a home in Dallas, TX, or looking for your first apartment in Denver, CO, this guide explores various earth-tone décor ideas to help you infuse natural beauty into your living spaces.
Disclaimer: For those living in rental properties or apartments, please ensure that any significant changes to your living space are approved by your landlord and do not violate your lease agreement. Always check with your property management before making alterations to avoid any potential issues.
Understanding Earthy Colors
Earthy colors are derived from natural elements such as soil, stones, trees, and plants. These hues include:
Browns: From deep chocolate to light taupe, browns are versatile and can add depth and coziness.
Greens: Olive, sage, and moss greens bring a refreshing and calming presence.
Beiges and tans: Neutral and understated, these shades serve as perfect backdrops.
Terracotta and rust: These warm, reddish-brown hues evoke the essence of sunbaked clay and add a vibrant touch.
Grays: Soft grays mimic the look of stone and rock, providing a cool, balanced counterpoint to warmer tones.
“When working with color, the goal is always to find balance and harmony,” Kerry, personal color harmony expert with Indigo Tones, shares. “Earth tones tend to be muted and an overall harmonious look would be achieved in using them by avoiding pops of color and keeping the contrast low. It’s best to use soft or weathered textured fabrics mixed in the same color family and in a middle range between dark and light.”
Earthy color décor ideas around the home
Earthy décor ideas revolve around tones and textures that emulate the natural world, bringing a sense of the outdoors inside your home. “Look to the creatures or places that move you to inspire your design,” Lynne Niehaus recommends. “Ask yourself how it makes you feel.”
Using all five senses, analyze every color and detail then bring them into your space on a larger scale,” Niehaus shares. “Whether it’s the velvety smoothness of a petal of a favorite flower, the crisp contrast striping of a hawk’s tail, or the granular, purply-brown intrigue and sparkle of the wet sand as the water retreats to the sea; these sensory details replicate the harmony that nature provides.”
1. Embrace raw materials
“Introduce reclaimed wood furniture pieces to add character and history to your interiors,” Raihana Fardous with Interior Harbor recommends. “The imperfections and unique grains of reclaimed wood tell a story and connect your space to nature.” Complement these with chocolate-brown textiles and beige accents for a sophisticated and comforting look.
“Other raw materials like jute or sisal make for great rugs to ground the space, offering both texture and warmth. Pair these with woven baskets for storage, which add a touch of rustic charm and practicality,” Fardous continues.
2. Layer tones and textures.
“Earth tones don’t have to be boring and drab. The key to nailing a statement-making earth-tone look in your home design is introducing pops of color, texture, and nature,” Aisha Beau Johnson explains. “While camel, brown, or beige may be the base colors for furniture, you can capture the eye by including bold neutrals like terracotta, dusty pink, French blue, or Bordeaux to the other elements of the room. Knitted or waffle textured throws also add more warmth and contrast, while utilizing plants to bring in nature can add to the serenity of the space.” This layering effect adds visual interest and creates a harmonious, serene atmosphere.
Gracie Friedman seconds this sentiment, adding that earthy touches can create a standout space. “As a lover of neutrals in bright and airy spaces, I like layering and mixing in earthy decor to anchor the space. Adding natural wood elements, rustic vases, rich browns, greens, grays, and faux greenery such as olive tree branches or eucalyptus to space are simple ways to make a room feel earthy and organic. Keeping the “big stuff” (like furniture) more neutral allows you to easily swap different earthy elements like pillows, vases, and throw blankets.”
3. Add greenery
As Friedman mentioned above, incorporating green through accent pieces such as throw pillows, rugs, or artwork is a great way to work in earth-like tones and textures. Sage green armchairs, olive-hued vases, or potted plants can inject a sense of nature, making any room feel more alive and vibrant. Greenery not only adds color but also enhances the organic feel of the space.
If you don’t have much of a green thumb, lean into green shades. “If you, like me, can’t for the life of you maintain a houseplant for more than a few days, I suggest opting for earthy tones in your home to bring in some natural vibes,” shares Teresa Maria. “I’ve recently discovered kitchens with sage green used either on walls or the cupboards. Any shade of darker green is so pleasing to the eye and brings a sense of calm to any space.”
4. Introduce terracotta accents
Terracotta elements, such as tiles, pots, and décor items, bring warmth and a touch of rustic charm. Use them to add a Mediterranean flair to your home. Pair terracotta with wooden furniture and open shelving to display ceramics or decorative items, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
5. Feature natural stone or clay
A backsplash or an accent wall made from natural stone, like slate, limestone, or travertine, can become a focal point in your space. These materials add texture and depth, anchoring the room and creating a grounded, earthy feel.
Atulya K Bingham, author of Mud Ball, Dirt Witch and more, recommends utilizing clay. “Clay plastering interiors completely transforms the atmosphere of a dwelling, both literally and figuratively,” Bingham shares. “Using local mud to create gorgeous interior renders is my go-to method for bringing nature right into my home and onto my walls. The result is walls that are warmer to touch, softer to look at, completely non-toxic, and a talking point to boot.”
6. Use cozy textiles
Incorporate earthy colors through bedding and textiles. A duvet cover in a warm beige or soft taupe, paired with pillows and throws in complementary shades, creates a restful and inviting atmosphere. Choose natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and wool for added comfort and warmth.
7. Maintain an earth-inspired palette
Stepping away from a cool-toned palette is recommended by Jessica McBride with Plank & Tile. “When it comes to the widely popular “earthy” aesthetic, there are numerous ways in which one can embody the essence of the outdoors within their home,” McBride notes. “Stepping away from a cool-toned color palette, and instead, incorporating accents of greens, muted browns, and orange tones through plants, rugs, pillows, wallpaper, and art is a great place to start. Additionally, to further elevate this theme, we love the look of mixed textures like rugged leather, wood, and stone.”
“When choosing an earthy color palette for your interior space, draw inspiration from a favorite vacation destination or setting,” Rose Benedict with Rose Benedict Design suggests for those unsure where to start. “With this approach, your color choices will feel even more personal, and as a bonus, your vacation photos will blend in beautifully. For example, if you’re in love with the warmth of the desert, then an array of tans, clays, and terracotta accents would be perfect for you.”
8. Incorporate natural scents
Enhance the earthy atmosphere by adding natural scents through essential oils or diffusers with fragrances like eucalyptus, lavender, or cedarwood. These scents not only refresh your home but also create a calming and inviting environment.
Your earthy sanctuary awaits
By embracing earthy color décor, you can create a home that feels grounded, welcoming, and in harmony with the natural world. Whether you’re redecorating a single room or your entire home, these ideas will help you bring the beauty and serenity of nature indoors.

The prospect of hosting a dinner party at my house filled my heart with panic. I had been wanting to update my dining room. Suddenly, I had an incentive — and a deadline.
The dinner party wasn’t my idea. A few months ago, a friend hatched a plan to auction off a dinner for eight at my house for an Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra fundraiser.
“You know how your column is At Home With Marni?” was how she framed it. “Well, this would let people actually be at home with Marni. Get it?”
Oh, I got it. If I’d known when I started writing a home design column what all I’d be getting myself into, I would have become a pet therapist. People assume I live up to my words! Before I agreed — and because no one should pay to eat my cooking — I called a chef I knew to see if he’d help. Chef Angelo Bersani generously agreed to donate his time to prepare and serve dinner, if I paid for the groceries. Done! Chef and I became a package deal on the auction block.
I live in the real world, so redecorating does not mean tossing all my furniture and starting over. It means working with what I have and making small refinements to get, ideally, big results. The trick, however, is knowing what those small moves are. So I called Los Angeles interior designer and long-time friend Christopher Grubb for help, asking if he’d call the shots while I did the legwork, which included shopping for materials, gathering samples and coordinating workers.
With a chef and a designer on board, I could feel my lungs fully expanding, my blood pressure dropping. Over the next eight weeks, we exchanged dozens of texts, photos and a few sobbing emojis, and made the following small refinements, which yielded big results, and just might do the same for a room or two in your home:
Added lampshades: Although I had replaced the dining room’s dated light fixture a few years ago, I had not “finished” the fixture off with chandelier shades, which Grubb advised. I test drove three shade styles, ordering one of each and returning the rejects, before settling on a black tapered shade. Because black shades direct light down, not out, they can make lighting more dramatic.
Filled in the art niche: Art niches in walls can be difficult to work with, as they limit the size of art you can hang in them. The niche in my dining room’s accent wall was 5-feet square and 3-inches deep. Until recently, a large tapestry hung over the niche and covered it. But, as part of my attempt to make the space more contemporary, I sold the tapestry and now had this, uhh, hole in the wall. “Art niches just make you ask why?” said Grubb, who recommended having a drywaller fill it in.

Put up wallpaper: To make the open room feel cozier and more intimate and to distinguish the alcove from the entryway, Grubb suggested covering the now smooth back wall and ceiling with sea-blue grasscloth, which added character and texture to the room.
Replaced mirrors: Although Grubb liked the idea of two mirrors flanking the art on the main wall, he suggested replacing the existing round ones with larger, vertical mirrors to make the room appear taller. Since we were moving toward a more transitional and less traditional look, we kept the frames simple.
Updated end chairs: Although our goal is to replace all the tapestry-covered dining chairs with more contemporary seating but keep the existing table, here we hit an impasse. I couldn’t find any chairs I liked that would also be available in time for my dinner party. Rather than compromise, I bought the chairs I wanted and accepted the fact that they wouldn’t arrive until September. Darn that supply chain. Meanwhile, I recovered the table’s two armchairs in a bold zebra-print fabric and painted the wood lacquer black. These chairs, which I wrote about a few weeks ago, are now fixtures in my living room, but for dinner parties they double as end chairs.
Added ambiance: With the new furnishings in place, all I needed to do was add the finishing touches — a fresh centerpiece of pale roses, patterned table linens, crystal and silver, candles and, of course, illustrious guests — to make the room come together like a symphony.
