When it comes to redecorating your living room (or any room in your house for that matter!) it is often hard to know where to start. With so many styles, colours, fabrics, finishes, accessories and furnishings to choose from how do you know what is right for you? A sound piece of advice is to look to past for inspiration. What do you like? What do you hate? What was a disaster and what turned out to be popular beyond belief?
Take a look below at some of the most popular interior design styles throughout history:
- Art Deco - The 1920’s saw the rise of Art Deco styling, a design style which is still popular today. With bold, bright colours and sticking patterns this style is not for the faint-hearted.
- Modernism - The 1930’s and 40’s saw the modernist movement captivate the world. Simple and clean lines combined with contrasting colours and textures makes this style an easy one to replicate, bringing colour and sophistication to any room.
- Minimalism - The 1960’s saw the rise of minimalist design, still to this day one of the most popular design styles, not just for interiors but for all art forms. If you like simplicity and the idea of maximising negative space, minimalism may be for you.
- Self-expressionism - A product of the 70’s. The combination of ultra-high tech and natural elements makes this style hard to pull off but amazing when done right.
