Trends always change, and sometimes it's interesting to look back and understand how different things used to be ten years ago.

Interior design isn't different, and modern trends look pretty much different than they used to.

Let's find out more.

Minimalism to Maximalism

At the beginning of the decade, minimalism was prominent, characterized by clean lines, neutral colors, and simplicity. 

However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards maximalism, with bolder colors, patterns, and eclectic decor.

Natural Materials and Sustainability

With increased awareness of environmental issues, there has been a growing emphasis on sustainability and the use of natural materials. 

Over the past decade, there has been a rise in the popularity of eco-friendly materials such as reclaimed wood, bamboo, cork, and recycled materials. 

Color Palettes

At the beginning, neutral and monochromatic color schemes were popular, with shades of gray and beige dominating. 

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of bold colors, jewel tones, and rich, saturated hues. 

Sustainability and Conscious Design

The focus on sustainability has extended beyond materials to include energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, and eco-conscious design choices. 

Designers and homeowners are increasingly considering the environmental impact of their choices, opting for energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy sources, and environmentally friendly finishes.
