Southern California homes are setting the standard for interior design trends. In 2024, we're seeing a shift towards natural, organic textures and patterns that blend modern elegance with warmth. Here is what's trending in Los Angeles and Orange County.
1. Wide-Plank White Oak
The reign of White Oak continues. Planks are getting wider—7 inches is the new standard, with some luxury homes opting for 9 or 10 inches. The look is cleaner, with fewer seams, making rooms feel larger and more open.
2. Natural & Matte Finishes
High gloss is out. Homeowners are demanding ultra-matte or satin finishes that hide dust and look more like raw wood. "Invisible" sealers that protect the wood without darkening it are highly requested.
3. Warm Neutrals
While grey floors had their moment, the trend is warming up. We're seeing a move towards "Greige" (grey-beige), blonde, and light honey tones that feel sunny and inviting.
4. Herringbone & Chevron
Patterned floors are back in a big way for entryways, hallways, and bathrooms. Installing wood or LVP in a herringbone pattern adds a layer of sophistication and history to modern spaces.
5. Rigid Core Vinyl Everywhere
Homeowners are choosing high-end LVP for the entire house, ditching the "tile in the kitchen, wood in the living room" approach for a seamless, single-material look that flows through every room.
