The Most Popular Home Decor Styles In Nevada In 2024

Nevada is full of unique people from all walks of life. But when it comes to our home decor styles in the Silver State, most of us are right on trend. The rest of us? Well, we're proudly representing what makes us our own kind of trendsetters.

When it comes to home decor styles, people tend to want to show their individuality. Our home is where we spend most of our time. So it makes sense we want our space to reflect who we are. But at the same time we want to express our individuality in our home decor styles, we're still human. Which means we are often swayed by what's trendy and popular.

Nevada is no exception when it comes to jumping on the trendy bandwagon. The most popular of the home decor styles is the same here as in most other states right now. However, the home design choices of those who haven't been swayed by what's popular show just how unique some of our Nevada residents are.

The most popular of home decor styles in Nevada right now is Bohemian. Also called Boho or Boho Chic. The style is characterized by an eclectic collection of pieces that really don't fit into one box. They can be from different eras, different countries and different cultures.

Architectural Digest says the various Boho home decor styles embody a "playful, free-spirited" look. I like to say it's the style of those who can't make up their mind on what style they like. Bohemian, like it's kissing cousin the "eclectic" style, gives you a little bit of everything. It's like the Vegas buffet for home design. The great thing is there aren't many rules you have to go by. Grab some vibrant colors, rich textures, and a rattan wall tapestry and you're off!

Of all the home decor styles in the country, Boho is the most popular universally right now as well. According to research done by Palm Paradise Realty Group, 44 states in the country choose Boho has their favorite of the home decor styles. Which is kind of cool because the unique nature of the style means we can all adopt it but still no two homes will be the same. According to the research, Nevadans turn to google 576 times a month to get tips on how to decorate in the Boho Chic style.

This is where Nevada really shows off her individuality. While popular home decor styles like Boho and Farmhouse (which was the fifth most popular style in Nevada in this study) are represented in the Silver State. It's the other styles in our top five that are the real attention-grabbers.

Steampunk is the second most-popular home decor style in our state. According to the study analysts, Nevadans have a monthly average of 458 searches for Steampunk interior design tips. Steampunk home decor style is a lot of fun, and a perfect example of opposites attracting. Think of it like Industrial meets Victorian. Leathers and velvets mixed with metallics. A little bit of this style goes a long way.

The third most-popular home style in Nevada, per this study, is Grunge. With 361 searches per month from Nevada residents. Just like it sounds, the Grunge interior design style was inspired by the alternative music scene from the late 1990's. No, that doesn't mean a bunch of DIY flannel throw pillows and pictures of Nirvana on the wall. Although there are plaids and muted tones in the fabrics as well as vinyl records often used as decor, the style encompasses not just the look, but the feel of the Grunge era. It's raw, relaxed and authentic. Think gritty and slightly distressed, but at the same time totally cozy and comfortable.

Grunge interior design is one of the coolest of the home decor styles. Mostly because it's effortless. It incorporates reclaimed wood with concrete and earthy tones with urban industrial lighting. Some go even more true to the style by incorporating music posters, record players and guitars as wall decor.

Y2K. We've all heard this phrase before but few of us knew it was actually a home decor style. It's actually just recently seen a resurgence in popularity. And, according to Architectural Digest, we can thank celebrities on TikTok for it. The style is defined as tech-inspired with a touch of nostalgia. According to the data analysts at Palm Paradise Realty Group, Y2K is the fourth most-popular home decor style in Nevada with 312 monthly searches.

At the turn of the century, we were all very excited by all things high-tech, and this style reflects that. With plastics and glass, modern features and metallic finishes like chrome. But the style also gives space for fun and whimsy. Which is why you'll often see unique, curvy shapes in furniture and bright colors like lime and hot pink in the style.

Farmhouse style was huge a few years back. Now it's the Bohemian look that's taken over most living rooms in America. But there are those off-the-path styles that Nevada residents are also using that are unique, whimsical and bold.

It might be safe to assume that these more bold home decor styles are coming from the homes of our more artistic Nevadans. The Cirque acrobats and musicians on the Vegas Strip. People who thrive on aesthetic uniqueness and creative expression. Just for fun, though, let's assume it's our lawyers, law enforcement and politicians who throw off the suits and uniforms at the end of the day to sink into their steampunk sofas and beanbag chairs. You never know. Vegas is always full of surprises.

Many Nevada homeowners know all too well what can happen if a tree in their yard isn't cared for properly. But there are some myths surrounding how to properly care for our tall nature friends. It's especially important to have a healthy tree during our rough seasons. Spring and summer months in Nevada are infamously a time when unhealthy trees are at risk of damage or falling.

March through June are typically our windiest months, bringing wind gusts of at least 58 mph, lasvegasnevada.gov reports. And monsoon season comes right after, from June to October. So making sure your trees are healthy and stable before these seasons is vital.

When some people think of Southern Nevada topography, they see the desert. Cacti, Joshua and Yucca trees. And we do have our share of those around the Mojave.

But we also have a lot more variety of trees than just the typical desert dwellers. With Mount Charleston nearby, we have a lot of pine trees as well. I've lived in my current house in Las Vegas for over 10 years. And even though I could move closer to where I work, I wouldn't dream of it. Because my backyard landscaping makes it feel like I'm on vacation in those nearby mountains.

I have such beautiful trees in my backyard that it's hard some days to remember I live in the desert. Two pine trees flank the back wall near my garden. And the side wall is decorated with pomegranate, lemon and mandarin trees. I also have at least three other varieties of trees in the side and front yards that I couldn't even name if I wanted to.

With all these trees to care for, it's hard to know which tree needs what. Nevada homeowners who don't get a newly-built home usually end up taking over the care for whatever tree was in the yard before. I am certainly someone in that boat. And when you aren't the one who planted the tree, like me, you might not know its variety or the kind of care it needs.

Often, when a tree is unhealthy, there will be visible signs that indicate it. Like severed or raised roots, mushrooms or other fungi, peeling bark or discolored leaves. This video from the Davey Tree Expert Company gives more visible signs Nevada homeowners should look out for, as well as instruction on how to inspect your trees.

Like many homeowners, especially those of us who didn't pick out or oversee the planting of our trees, I'm not very well-educated when it comes to tree care. But I do check my trees from time to time, to the best of my ability, to look for signs of decay.

What I don't do is wait until one of my trees is leaning over or otherwise showing signs of an issue. Because with our windy months, having a strong tree that can withstand those gusts could be the difference between me having a hole in my my roof or not.

That pine tree in my backyard could do some serious damage if it ever decided to fall over. And not just to my house. It's tall enough that it could reach at least two of my neighbor's houses, depending on the direction it fell. That's a law suit I'm really okay not having to deal with.

To keep our trees healthy and happy, we don't have to be tree experts. But we also shouldn't assume things about trees that could hurt them in the long run.

The Davey Tree Expert Company is a knowledgeable resource for all things tree-related. And they have expert arborists throughout North America. Ken Busse is the expert in the Las Vegas area, and he reached out to debunk some myths about trees that Nevada homeowners ought to know.

One of the pine trees in my backyard is so tall that it towers over my roof. Which is nice on those sunny summer days. But on the windy days, it can get a little rough. With the pine needles brushing against my patio awning, like an angry neighbor coming to yell at me for blocking his driveway.

I would be worried on those days if I was the person who pruned those pine giants. But I'm not. I hire guys to come in and do it for me. Because I know pruning isn't as easy as it seems. Sure, anyone can use a ladder and pruning shears. But knowing how to prune properly is the important thing.

The Davey experts say that pruning is different for each breed of tree. And unless you're a professional arborist, or someone with an tree obsession and endless hours to watch YouTube, you might not know what your specific tree needs. Even the proper way to remove a branch or how much tree to cut depends on the type of tree you have.

Okay, it's a tree. Not a camel. Though even camels need water once in a while. A tree's age does determine how much water it needs, but even the oldest of them need watering during a long dry spell. Knowing how and where to water is important too. Those very old pines in my backyard are about 40 or so feet from my patio door. But the roots are much closer because the tree's root system has really spread out over the years.

In fact, when I was laying flagstone just around the patio, I ran into some huge roots just a few inches below the surface. And I'm sure they belonged to that pine that was far from where I was sitting.

The Davey experts advise that less frequent, deep watering is the key to keeping our trees hydrated during the droughts we often encounter in the desert. They recommend a drip irrigation or soaker hose, and a two-inch layer of mulch around the tree to keep the soil moist. Just make sure the mulch doesn't pile up against the root flare (where the first main roots attach to the trunk) where excess soil can actually damage.

When trees live in the forest, there are plenty of nutrients available to it. The Davey experts say that's not the case in our backyards, especially when our grasses are fighting our trees for nutrients. Plus, when we rake up those leaves (or use the leaf blower, in my case), we're taking away the very things that break down and recycle and give some nutrients back to our trees.

The Davey experts say that a slow-release fertilizer is essential for a tree's vitality. And throughout their life. Not just when they're young.

If this one were true, I'd be in trouble. Remember that tree branch that hangs over my house? Well it might be a hazard if it wasn't pruned correctly or the tree or branch weren't healthy. But since I have professionals who make sure both are so, I'm in the clear.

The Davey experts confirm this and say that not having a professional prune your trees actually could prevent the branches from properly healing. That's where the real threat comes in. An unhealed tree could become unstable and dangerous.

Another myth I'd be in trouble for if it were actually true. Fortunately, it's not. Like all pines, the tall trees in my backyard are highly susceptible to our high winds. The Davey experts say it's the structure of the tree, and how healthy it is, that really determines safety more than the species of the tree itself.

If you are a Nevada homeowner and you'd like a pine tree in your yard, just make sure you work with an expert to ensure you've considered all safety precautions. I can tell you from experience that the extra effort to have a pine tree in your yard is worth the benefits. Just make sure you have some sort of craft book on hand about what to do with all the pinecones you're going to collect.
