Farmhouse Is Out, Brutalism Is In ... Home Decor for 2024

But first, the definition of Brutalism in relation to home decor:

"Raw materials, textured surfaces, simple silhouettes and geometric shapes are the hallmarks of Brutalist interior design. The trend comes from the post-Mid-Century era which celebrated grandeur, glam, geometric forms and repetitive patterns." "The brutalist movement first emerged in the 1950s. Led by French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier, its central tenants were the use of concrete, unfinished industrial materials, strong structural elements, rigid shapes, and a monochromatic color scheme."

There was a study done recently, watching notes that agents were putting in listing descriptions. And, of course, those words mean WE agents suspect that is what buyers are looking for. Or, does it mean, WE are nudging these buyers to find those things pleasing to the palette that a home flipper or builder has created? 

I believe there is a place for all home design. This Brutalist style is for an age bracket or location, while the Farmhouse (that is supposedly out) may still be the style of choice for another age and/or homes' location.

While sometimes we are stuck with the furniture and decor sold to create our home environment, we still have to create something that is comfortable for us. For you, your partner, and your family.

Like the one Jennifer just put into escrow for our team, with 14 offers in one weekend. It was vacant, what a delight those home buyers will have creating their new home environment. Whether it be Brutalist, Farm House, or Bohemianism, it'll be alllll theirs!
