This year has been the year of comebacks; previously outdated trends are making their way back into the limelight. Interior designers weighed in on the former trends they have seen coming back in style in today’s homes.
“After years of safe neutrals and minimalism, there’s a renewed desire for personality in interiors, spaces that people can feel emotionally connected to,” said Phoebe Beachner, an interior designer at Hart Howerton.
While open floor plans have dominated this year, there has been a gradual increase in requests for closed floor plans. This shift might be remerging due to nostalgia, a desire to restore an older home to its roots or a need to confine certain activities and items to certain areas.
Maximalism, brown tones that were highly popular in the 1980s and built-in seating are also back in style.
