1. BROWN COLOR SCHEMES
Brown was the color of the seventies in both fashion and interiors, it was back again in the nineties when it was all dark leather, deep mahogany, and mocha walls. But brown is, once again, back in vogue, and is now being touted as the color to replace gray.
2. FLUID AND CURVILINEAR SILHOUETTES
Using curves in interior design may feel old-fashioned – less modern than linear, sharp edges. And curved furniture, last in vogue in the 1990s, may look outdated, but today’s curvaceous furnishings are deliciously different and decadent – it’s soft, fluid, and inviting yet looks playful and fun. An aesthetic that our homes' have been lacking during our adoration for 20th-century modernism.
3. PAINTED KITCHEN CABINETS
Colorful kitchens were once du rigor in interior design, but a shift towards cream and white kitchens saw the rapturous use of color leave our homes in the early noughties, but color-laden designs are back in a big way for 2023.
4. MAXIMALISM
Maximalism was once the height of fashion, but the rise of minimalism paved the way for the absolution of 'ornamentation' in design. However, its charming over-the-top credentials are back with aplomb, and we welcome its re-introduction into our spaces.
5.TEXTURED CEILINGS
Has there ever been a design trend more universally loathed than the textured ceiling? Cast your mind back to the humble popcorn ceiling, and it isn't hard to understand why these textured ceilings fell out of favor.
6. BROKEN-PLAN LIVING
For the longest time, an open-plan living room or kitchen was so popular that it became unusual to find a modern or renovated home with separate reception rooms.
7. TERRAZZO
Terrazzo reached peaked popularity during the height of our adoration for mid-century modern decor. Architects and interior designers of this period favored terrazzo for its monolithic, modern, minimalist look. But like most trends, terrazzo fell out of favor in the 90s, however, it's back, and better than ever.
