While lots of popular interior design styles have pretty strict rules, not everyone wants to follow them.
Lots of people don't want their living spaces to be "like others", because they dislike the idea of conformity and strict norms - so they prefer antidesign.
Here are a few traits of this trend.
Eclectic mix
Interior antidesign blends elements from different eras, cultures, and design movements to create a visually stimulating and unpredictable environment.
Raw and unfinished
This style embraces the beauty of unfinished surfaces, exposed materials, and industrial elements.
Exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and visible ductwork are commonly featured in antidesign interiors.
Anti-minimalism
Instead of clean lines and minimal clutter, it often incorporates a mix of furniture, accessories, and decorative items, creating a visually rich and layered space.
Playful juxtapositions
It combines contrasting elements, such as mixing vintage and modern pieces, high and low materials, or repurposing unconventional objects as furniture or decor.
Imperfections as beauty
Distressed surfaces, weathered finishes, and signs of wear and tear are embraced rather than concealed.
Breaking rules
Interior antidesign intentionally breaks design rules and challenges traditional notions of harmony and balance.
It can feature asymmetrical arrangements, unexpected color combinations, and unconventional spatial layouts.
