Aaron Lebowski, an interior designer and consultant at Juliei Salone, said this summer is all about bringing pastel colors into your space.
He said colors like pink, yellow, and blue bring to mind summery images, like sunny days and pool parties.
Kate Diaz, interior designer and cofounder of Swanky Den, said we'll see more natural materials in design choices this season because they "bring the outdoors in.'"
"Wood, stone, and leather are going to be big this summer," Diaz said.

eu/Shutterstock Florals are no longer just a trend of the past, according to Courtney Wollersheim, interior designer from FLOOR360.
"'Grandmillennial' or 'grandma chic' is sneaking into many room styles as the summer season heats up because you need lots of florals and bold colors to achieve this look," Wollersheim explained.
"It's very on-trend to recreate the comfort and coziness of grandma's traditional style house with vintage pieces and floral fabrics for window curtains."
When incorporating florals, Wollersheim recommends mixing and matching tablecloth and window-curtain fabrics that are within the same color family.
Paige Anderson, interior-design architect at Nitido Design, told Insider that greenery is the key to sprucing up a space this summer.
Plants are a simple way to bring the outside in.
Wachirawit Iemlerkchai/Getty Images Catherine Staples, lead designer at Aspen & Ivy, told Insider arches are a "timeless" trend you'll see more of this season.
"From doorways to windows to mirrors and millwork, arches are a warm, whimsical way to elevate your space off the linear path," Staples said. "I expect to see arched elements in design this summer in furniture as well."
Arch shapes can be found in architecture, too. Dariusz Jarzabek/Shutterstock"The appeal of reclaimed wood kitchen tables, dining tables, chairs, coffee tables makes sense because it brings character and texture to any room," Wollersheim said.
But in recent years, she said, people are realizing there's such a thing as too much reclaimed wood in a space.
Wollersheim recommends keeping one of your favorite pieces and contrasting it with glass accents and soft-cushioned chairs for a more holistic look.
Known for its natural-looking aged look, the rustic interior-design style is on its way out.
"It's not that the rustic look is inherently bad, but the proliferation of it in homes can be overwhelming," Lebowski said.
He said you can find balance by having one or two rustic elements in your home, but you might not want to overdo it.
Rustic trends can be done tastefully in small doses. Aspects and Angles/ShutterstockShiplap, wide wooden boards commonly used as part of the modern-farmhouse style, will start to see itself out, Staples said.
She said you will still see it appropriately used in coastal or period styles, but other trends will take the stage instead.
Still, she noted, some trends — including shiplap — are cyclical and may rise in popularity once again.
Shiplap is popular in coastal-inspired homes. Tr1sha/ShutterstockToussaint Derby, a lead designer at Havenly, said sleek, all-white interiors are going to be replaced with colorful ones.
She told Insider "the all-white aesthetic may have felt a little too cold and impersonal" so it's falling out of favor as people try to cozy up their spaces.
According to luxury interior designer Margarita Bravo, monochromatic spaces just aren't as welcoming as other design choices.
"People are spending more time in their homes, and they want a more welcoming, inviting space with the use of different materials, textures, and accent colors," Bravo said.
Top Interior Design Styles to Know Now, According to Pros
- Design & Décor
- Interior Decorating
Some interior design styles can be self-explanatory. But many of the most in-demand and influential design styles of the last few years require a bit more explanation...and when a new look borrows from other more established styles or puts a fresh spin on a well-loved classic, things only get more complicated from there.
If you're finding yourself struggling to tell a minimalist interior from a midcentury one, we're here to help. While the lines aren't always so cut-and-dry, there are a few main tenets of each interior design style that can help you identify even the most eclectic home.
Being able to readily identify each interior design style is more than just a clever party trick—it can also help you define your own personal style and seek out more of what you gravitate toward.
It can also give you permission to mix and match depending on your intuition and sensibilities, and throw those labels to the wind—if that's what your personal style demands. Of course, these styles and trends change rapidly from month to month, so there's always something new to learn. And if you land on a new style all your own, go ahead and give it a name—we might just be writing about it next week.
Read on to see the most important design styles to know, with their key characteristics and insights from designers we love.

Though it has largely taken a backseat to more casual styles over the last several years, traditional design is undergoing a renaissance of sorts, and we find ourselves falling for the stately rooms and beautiful antiques all over again.
It's not difficult to deduce that traditional design is inspired by—you guessed it—tradition. Specifically, traditions of 18th and 19th-century European interiors, albeit in a more timeless approach.
Symmetry, harmony, and understated elegance are defining traits.
Classical furniture, intricate details, and rich colors abound in traditional interiors, resulting in decidedly formal yet functional spaces. Architecture is another important component, with detailed millwork such as crown molding and wainscoting playing a significant role.

One of the main rules of interior design is to always "edit, edit, edit"—but that should come with a caveat. "Edit, edit, edit"—unless you're a maximalist at heart. "More is always more," says designer and founder of Andrew Martin, Martin Waller. "Layer texture and pattern to create excitement in a home—more rugs, more art, more objects."
This no-holds-barred style is all about mixing bold patterns, bright colors, unexpected textures, and more in a technicolor whirlwind that delights the senses and always leaves a new detail to be noticed. There are very few rules when it comes to maximalism, but we always think wallpaper is a good starting point since it immediately ups the ante of the interior without crowding it spatially.
Of course, there's a difference between "maximalist" and "overwhelming." Some editing, to be sure, is still required, though it relies much more on intuition and impulse. Be sure to step back every once in a while and take in the room as a whole. Or, better yet, snap a pic to give yourself some impartiality and distance, allowing you to see if the maximalist style is working in your home.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have minimalism—the true "less is more" design philosophy delivers a big impact with bright, clean spaces that keep clutter at a minimum and often have a hyper-restrained color palette of muted neutrals or pure black and white.
While minimalist styles often incorporate hints of Midcentury Modern or Scandinavian styles, this look is more about what's not present. Hint: Expect to pull a major Marie Kondo on your home if you're hoping to achieve this look. What it leaves open to interpretation is what makes it so versatile, so even traditionalists can get in on this trend.

Not to be confused with other modern design styles, contemporary interiors are entirely of the moment, whereas modern can refer to anything forward-thinking from the last several decades—Midcentury Modern or Modern Farmhouse, for example.
The key elements of contemporary design can be boiled down to simplicity, clean lines, subtle sophistication, and deliberate use of texture. It seamlessly blends classic, timeless elements with very current, modern pieces. It's also a naturally minimal style that should never feel fussy, stuffy, or dated. Most contemporary spaces will stick to an overall black, white, and neutral color palette, occasionally using bold accent colors to create a strong contrast. There is also a distinctive presence of strong visual lines, be it straight or curved.
Hunted Interior
Also referred to as modern traditional, this style puts a fresh twist on the age-old style. "We’re seeing homes really honor history in fresh and inspiring ways," says Decorist designer Luz Perez Brown.
While "traditional" itself as a moniker might sound old and tired, the way that designers and homeowners alike are reclaiming this term really speaks to both a love for the past and an eye on the future.
"Infusing clean lines with beautiful antiques, ornate moldings, and vintage artwork...Anything our grandparents owned is new again and that rich culture is woven seamlessly into our surroundings," Perez Brown explains.

As a style mash-up, transitional design is one that you may not even realize you're using in your home. At its core, transitional is a blend of both traditional and contemporary design styles. In other words, it combines the old with the new to achieve elegant yet comfortable and timeless interiors.
So how exactly is this blend achieved? Generally, transitional rooms are outfitted in sophisticated furniture that blends classic, soft lines with the comfort of modern pieces. Color palettes lean more modern, with clean, neutral colors creating the base layer and soft pastel or rich earth tone accents incorporated sparingly.
Contrast is achieved through the use of various textures or tones.

The trend that's here to stay, MCM has our hearts now and forever—but it's also interesting to see this look change and adapt with time.
"I'm seeing more and more people request Midcentury Modern," says Decorist designer Joshua Jones. But this isn't your grandma's Midcentury Modern, he explains. "Often they want to mix this style up with either a bohemian or glamorous vibe to reflect their personalities. It can go bold and fun or light and airy."
Part of what we love about this look, which is characterized by geometric and wavy shapes like hairpin legs and "amoeba" or "kidney bean" furniture styles and warm wood tones, is how adaptable it is. "This style is ideal for an older home or those that appreciate retro furniture and accessories," Jones says.
Design Works
Usually characterized by rounded shapes, lush fabrics, and rich jewel tones accentuated with brass, the Deco style has undergone a transformation in recent years, re-emerging in a way that feels more modern and less 90s.
"Using curvy shapes is a distinct throwback that is re-emerging into a more modern twist," explains Design Works' Robin Strickler. "In furniture, we are seeing upholstered pieces like sofas, chaises, and even benches designed with asymmetry and curves, rather than straight lines. This creates a more tranquil energy—emulating waves and curves—and feels cozier and more intimate." Wavy club chairs like the ones seen here are a hallmark of Art Deco style.
Coco Lapine
Deeply rooted in place—specifically, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, though occasionally Finland and even Iceland are generously lumped into the mix when speaking more broadly—this aesthetic favors clean lines, bentwood and other natural materials, and sleek, sophisticated understatement over ostentatious displays.
"Scandi" spaces are likely to have some of the big-name Nordic design icons you've heard about, from Eeno Saarinen's tulip tables to Hans Wegner's gently curved wishbone chairs, and yes, even a few well-placed IKEA items (no shame—we love the Swedish megastore).
The Grit and Polish
Blame it on Joanna Gaines—no list of top décor styles is complete without a nod to modern farmhouse. Incorporating rustic elements in a fresh and airy way, this look has become all the rage for its home-y, welcoming vibe...and for its nod to a simpler lifestyle.
"The fast-paced, real-time bustle we're accustomed to has our generation craving a slower, more intentional lifestyle," says Perez Brown. "The farmhouse style allows for peaceful nature to flow indoors with its soft neutral earth tones, its natural materials, and casual architecture full of texture."

World travelers and plant moms, this one's for you. Bohemian style favors layers of lush textiles from far-flung lands, like handwoven Moroccan rugs layered with Japanese block prints and even Malian mudcloth pillows. Expect to see plenty of natural materials, tapestries, macramé planters spilling over with lush greenery—the jungle-like plant-obsession trend is very at home in a boho space—and metals like brass and copper with a well-loved patina.
Authenticity is the name of the game here, so anything that looks like it was picked up at a flea market in a far-flung location is game for this comfortable, creative style.

What happens when two in-demand styles come together? Pure magic. A portmanteau of Scandinavian and Californian, this interior design style is rising through the ranks quickly these days.
"This style is mixed with a bit of coastal, industrial, bohemian, and Midcentury Modern with some Scandinavian elements, with a focus to create a light and calming space," explains Decorist designer Joshua Jones. "The common finishes of this particular style are light wood tones, black metal, brass, and tribal/textured pillows against a backdrop of lighter-toned upholstered furniture"—aka lots of elements we already love from their respective styles. "It's perfect for anyone that likes neutrals but also wants a calm and serene space without being boring," he says.

The desert modern look borrows from boho and eclectic styles but incorporates earthen textures like plaster, clay, and stone along with geometric and organic shapes to evoke a vibe that's reminiscent of the desert.
Designer Lauren Nelson finds several of these elements to be irresistible right now: "I love the use of organic shapes in accessories," she says. "They can really breathe life into an otherwise bland bookshelf or mantel—I especially love handmade ceramic vases and filling them with branches that provide some visual interest."
Here she pairs perfectly imperfect ceramics with a geometric print that's a little midcentury, a little Memphis—another common theme in this aesthetic style.

Artistic, creative, and free-spirited, eclectic style is at times tough to characterize because it makes use of a little bit of everything—but that's where its magic lies. Combining and juxtaposing furnishings from different periods and traditions while also incorporating color and plenty of personality, eclectic-style homes just feel like an instant insight into a home's history and owner, as Lily Brown of Lily Brown Interiors points out.
"Preserving and highlighting historic architecture and elements in a home while juxtaposing sharp, clean lines creates a beautiful balance of form and detail," she explains.
"A thoughtful injection of color adds to its layers and creates an intriguing space that acknowledges both the past and the present."
Liz Caan & Co.
More elevated and refined than the "shabby chic" trend of the past, this look draws from similar sources of inspiration but infuses new life into classic fabrics, patterns, and silhouettes by mixing them in a unique way. Expect to see ditsy florals alongside antique pieces and lush materials in a bouquet of femme hues.
"I'm still attracted to (and loving) the classics like channel-backed puffy upholstery and historical but recolored or rescaled florals," says Boston-based designer Liz Caan. "There is something comforting about the past right now—it's known and familiar, so I am excited about updated chintzes that I can have quilted, glamorous channel tufting, natural materials like cane and rattan that may be trendy at the moment have stood the test of time and require skills to weave and manipulate, and hand-painted wallpapers and blocked fabric based on historical patterns.
"
Though this look is decidedly feminine, it's much less delicate than its foremothers thanks to an eclectic array of prints and bold colorways.

Coastal design has come a long way from the seashell-centric, beach bum vacation rentals of your youth. Instead, today's beach-inspired interiors focus on conveying the airy and calming vibes of the seashore.
It should come as no surprise that modern coastal interiors often rely on a crisp, white base layered with sea and sky-inspired blues and earthy browns and greens. The overall feeling should be clean and light—the embodiment of a breath of fresh, salty air.
Much like the colors are nature-inspired, textiles and furniture in coastal design are of the natural variety, too. Materials like wood, jute, linen, cotton, and glass are all common. But arguably the most critical element of modern coastal interiors? Light. Lots and lots of glorious, natural light.

Coastal but with a distinct twist, this look is all about texture—often in the form of plaster walls and organic, natural finishes.
"One of the trends I’m most excited about is a lime plaster wall finish," says Decorist designer Jessie Yoon of Casa Nolita. "The earthy, soft-finished walls create a sweet illusion of being somewhere by the Mediterranean Sea. Add furniture made with natural materials such as rattan, stone, reclaimed wood, live edge wood, and washed linen to complete the look." It's like a far-flung beach vacation you can bring home with you.

"Naturalism is something we’ve noticed our clients gravitating towards," says Michael Cox of Foley&Cox Interior Design. "The organic driftwood base of the cocktail table is one of the most obvious elements, but the use of natural and organic fabrics like hand-woven cotton and hand-loomed wool subtly contribute to the relaxed and 'of-the-hand-and-earth' vibe we wanted to achieve for this waterfront home."
While there's growing interest in natural and hand-touched textures in several of the top design styles of the moment, this takes that influence a step further by emphasizing contrast and imperfection in each element.
"Even the idea of upcycling in fashion is represented, with the vintage chairs we found in Clignancourt and reupholstered in naturally dyed leather," Cox notes.

If you need more evidence that the American Southwest is having a major design moment, look no further. Brown notes that a style she's calling "Southwest Soul" is the latest trend to look for.
"We're moving out of the '50 shades of grey' phase of interior design and embracing color and texture in avant-garde ways," she says. "The patterns and palettes of the Southwest are coming through in design and fashion, and the result is a playful and sexy interior that definitely keeps things interesting." Southwest-inspired patterns and textiles mingle with raw wood and midcentury touches for an eclectic vibe with tons of personality.

Industrial style is one you're probably pretty familiar with by now. Inspired by the lofty factories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it's a design aesthetic that considers function first, then form.
Elements that are commonly associated with industrial design are, of course, rough building materials such as unfinished brick, exposed pipes and metal, worn wood, and polished concrete. Architecturally, these spaces often feature soaring ceilings, massive windows, and open floor plans. Colors tend to veer neutral, with light walls and darker, more masculine furniture.
An interesting thing to notice about industrial design is how it has subtly trickled into just about every other style out there. When our interiors are inevitably "missing something," so often the solution is adding in an edgy, industrial element.
4 Design Styles That Will Define the Future
60 best photos, trends, styles, colors, ideas in 2022
Julia Boyko, interior designer
— The new decade is a time of change for mix and variety. Style in its "pure" form is less and less common, individualism is a trend. The apartment becomes a mirror, a combination of memories, attitudes and habits.
Emotional design is what most people want to see. Therefore, the main style of 2022 can be called eclecticism. Freedom in everything does not allow focusing on one current. If it's Scandinavian style, minimalism, classic and art deco, where there are a lot of overloaded details, all this can get boring after a couple of years. Therefore, an eclectic approach helps to combine times and textures. Nowadays, it is no longer strange to see new furniture and items from the flea market, as well as items brought from travels, in the same interior. Such a mix is perceived with special interest, things add expressiveness and modulate the space, where it will be more pleasant to be. Eclecticism is good because it can be very different, both "naive" design, simple in form, and "brilliant" postmodern. Thus, different generations and lifestyles of people are connected.
Simple and understandable minimalism expands and gradually gives way to a minimalist interior filled with some kind of philosophy.
That is, there is a certain transformation of minimalism into eclecticism. Usually it is a laconic, calm interior in restrained colors with a small amount of bright accents. A mixture of digital technologies, a shabby book and a simple-shaped table, "smart technology" and "grandmother's" plaid - all this is fresh eclecticism. It tells us about individualization, the desire for which was formed as a result of the appearance of a large number of identical interiors - loft or scandi, stamped pieces of furniture. Now the mood has changed to the personalization of their space and the purity of forms.
When it comes to finishing materials, the wood trend remains timeless in interior design, it is always relevant. A tree can be combined in absolutely different shapes and sizes, while individual elements can also be framed with it. It is interesting to supplement natural material with metals. The key metals for decor are: gold, brass and bronze. All shades of marble and travertine will also continue to please us and will be used both in the decoration of the bathroom and, for example, on the floor in the bedroom.
Simple materials such as concrete, plywood, cork and rattan will contrast with the pomp of metal and marble. The move is tried and tested, but very modern. The terrazzo trend is no longer at the height of fashion, but will still hold its own in 2022.
Color combinations in interior design are welcomed in a variety of ways: from complex, rich and dramatic tones to soothing pastels. Also, two palettes - dark and light - will always find their adherents. Color institutions dictate their versions to us, but at the same time they are all united by one main idea - to connect man with nature. Therefore, among the popular shades of the 2022 season, you can see: classic blue, rich dark green, deep sea shade, delicate green, sky blue, pale pink, positive shade of lemonade.
Furniture trends, as well as finishes, have a strong focus on sustainability, with a preference for higher quality and durable items, as well as furniture made from recycled and recycled materials. The abundance of goods from the mass market has generated interest in collaborations, a kind of collections that come out in small series, emphasizing the elitism and originality of the product.
Modern man no longer likes to meet the same thing on every corner. Individuality is a trend. If we talk about functionality, then the priority is the proper organization of storage, built-in furniture, everything that does not allow you to litter the interior without losing comfort. To organize the space, modular furniture is used, which simultaneously performs several functions and takes up little space. These are racks, sofas, armchairs, cabinets that form convenient connections in use. Not the first year the fashion for rounded furniture has been kept. Bay-window sofas, cozy armchairs, consoles, poufs, tables have come into use with smooth lines and serve as inspiration from 1970s.

The main trend is mass individualization. Design is not for everyone, but for everyone. Designers are thinking about an eclectic interior - a mix of styles and stylistics best expresses the personality and its passions. The call is: ignore the trends, personalize the interior and show your emotions!

Technological innovation is taking on a particular urgency. Novelties in design: multifunctional devices, home robots, household appliances with Internet access. Ceiling lights, kettles and refrigerators are controlled from a smartphone. Kitchens in modern homes are reminiscent of professional chefs' playgrounds, both in terms of the level of technology and the quality of the dishes prepared on them.
A new generation of design enthusiasts has buried fake industrial chic and loft style, dubious urban country and glittery hotel glamour. Beige interiors are finally gone, giving way to color and ornament. Rational Danish design is at the peak of popularity in Europe, but it is being pushed back by Italian maximalism.
The concept of "decorated interior" is rapidly going out of fashion. People want to be designers themselves. The idea of a stylized, deliberately decorated interior with "skillfully" arranged still lifes seems outdated.

1. Maximalism In 2017, fashion design teams such as Dimorestudio, Peter Pilotto or LaDoubleJ introduced us to unforgettably extravagant interiors.
Contrasting prints and ornaments, a powerful mix of different styles and times, the return of the 80s is a departure from the Scandinavian-inspired minimalism that has dominated in recent years. Maximalism has not yet gained momentum at the general consumer level, but it will happen very soon. Consumers want to express themselves, and maximalism (sometimes bordering on kitsch) allows them to do so. “The consumer no longer wants to be told stories (he tells them himself), he wants to empathize and enjoy new experiences,” says Vincent Gregoire, NelliRody style agency. “As the rhythms have accelerated, we are mixing the concepts of good and bad taste, high and low brands, liberating the fantasy.”

2. Parallel universes Designers, restaurateurs and manufacturers join forces. Together they create colorful and joyful events, new designs that take us from the busy metropolis to parallel universes - warm, whimsical and exotic.
Under the influence of this trend, furniture acquires bright, bold colors, surfaces play with reflections. The user is encouraged to talk about the interior as a dreamlike, sensory experience.

3. Instagram-ready Every beginner decorator will have an accent wall now. “The digital revolution is changing the rules,” says Vincent Gregoire. “Becoming stylists, we work on the image and take care of our own home as a “showroom” where our life and our passions are on display.” Design trends are interior for the sake of a frame that will be loved and hated, liked and posted on social networks. Theatrical effects, narcissism and decorative exhibitionism are what awaits advanced users in the 2018/2019 season.

4. Timeless The last century is cited, republished and becoming more and more expensive. The fashion for post-war modernism - "modernism with a human face" is not going to leave us in 2018. Furniture has become much more rounded and feminine, and new designs and things in the spirit of the 30-50s are boldly combined with later quotes from the bourgeois-bohemian 70s and radical 80s. Miuccia Prada exhibits armchairs of Brazilian modernists in Miami, Memphis anti-design begins to gain new fans. For Fendi, Chiara Andreatti worked on the concept of the friendly living room "Welcome!". The ideas of animated luxury and elegance were combined by the new star of decor with the bourgeoisie 1970s, homage to the masters of the Viennese Secession and the Italian design diva Gabriella Crespi.

5. Vienna Secession 2017 marked the centenary of Ettore Sottsass, the fun and radical Memphis furniture. Nostalgic and sophisticated fashionistas in 2018 are invited to remember the teapots and vases of Koloman Moser, the architectural furniture of Adolf Loos and Josef Hoffmann. In 2018, countless exhibitions and auctions will be devoted to Viennese Art Nouveau and the centenary deaths of the artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and the architect Otto Wagner.

6. Capsule collections More and more manufacturers are using an interdisciplinary approach, attracting authors from related industries. Graphic artists, famous architects, fashion designers become the authors of carpets, tables and washbasins. Collaboration products are released in small batches, emphasizing the elitism and uniqueness of the product.

7. Bespoke Bespoke, made-to-measure and custom-made items will increasingly appear in our homes. Both local artisans and global businesses are touting "flexible" solutions: interiors that adjust to the owner's needs.
8. Modular furniture Novelties in design - vans and couches, shelving and low tables form intricate connections, like Japanese puzzles. Models in the spirit of Lombrico, B&B Italia, known as the “endless” sofa of Marco Zanuso, one of the most popular in the 70s, will decorate spacious lounges.
Luca Niketto and Oki Sato (Nendo) created the Isole modular furniture series based on the principle of writing Japanese tanka five-verses, which are started by one person and finished by another.
9. Sculptural furniture Objects of strange asymmetrical proportions or furniture resembling abstract sculptures are on the wave.
Such things are collectible and there should not be many of them.

10. Polished furniture Design trends - polished instead of brushed, rosewood instead of textured oak - Italian furniture makers, furniture fashion guides are passionate about finishes in the spirit of the 80s. Red-brown sideboards, chests of drawers and credenzas, beds in a polished frame appeared in the latest collections of top brands.

11. Mirrors and arches Elements of theatrical scenography actively penetrate the house. Semi-circular arches and large, irregularly shaped slanted mirrors dramatize the interior.
12.
Velvet explosion A holiday of everyday luxury? No fabric will create it better than velvet. Especially in precious tones such as sapphire, citrine, emerald, amethyst and pink garnet. In 2018 interiors, velvet is used as an accent fabric or in tandem with furniture of modern silhouettes.

15. Iridescent overflows Gradients and watercolor spills have moved into the bathrooms. Mosaic tesserae are adorned with iridescence - bright colored highlights reminiscent of silver holography or gasoline stains. Reflecting light, attract the eye, changing depending on the angle of view.
16. New Botany In addition to the increased demand for houseplants with expressive leaves, bookcases and planters for climbing plants are returning to the interior. Succulents were replaced by cissus, ivy and "grandmother's" tradescantia, freely hanging from the ceiling.
And the tropical jungle and intense floral print and new designs are not going to leave the walls and upholstery, delighting those who are passionate about the 70s.
17. Boho Chic Macrame, peasant prints, Indian carpets and wallpapers with elephants, monkeys and paisley patterns - the hippie style of the 70s is returning to youth bedrooms.

18. Cozy life Retail stores, cafes, hotels, work spaces look like living rooms, the boundaries between work and leisure are becoming increasingly blurred. Spaces focused on acquiring new experience more than aesthetics will be popular. More and more furniture "for home and garden" appears. Lightweight, portable items made in the spirit of "urban camping" are distinguished by a cheerful color and a playful element.
19. Cozy home The hygge trend will continue in 2018.
We still have a desire for a simple, calm, unobtrusive lifestyle, where the house is our main refuge in a politically turbulent noisy world. Everything that provides comfort, silence and a kind of Digital Detox is appreciated - cocoon chairs, sound-absorbing curtains and cozy soft sofas. The Swedish word Lagom has enriched the hygge trend - it translates as "not to small and not to too much." Relaxing cool calm spaces are in fashion. The opportunity to inhale fresh air without leaving the city and relax without going to the spa is appreciated, and designers design things that are favorable for the psyche. Emotional States - Emotional well-being will be the theme of the London Design Biennale in autumn 2018.

20. Imperfect perfection Attention is drawn to furniture made by people, not machines.
In object design, technocraft triumphs - things created using handicrafts and ancient techniques, along with the latest technologies and / or materials. The decorators recalled the Japanese principle of wabi-sabi, the emphasis on using objects made with inherent imperfections and an accentuated sense of authenticity.
