Modern Trends in Design: Shaken, not Stirred

Spring is walking outside, and awakened nature calls for the new. I want everything to be beautiful and fresh in a special way. If you have decided to direct spring energy to a practical channel and refresh the interior of your home, this article is for you.

To make it easier for you to find something, we have collected all the main directions in interior design.

Interior design is a reflection of the surrounding world. Seasoned with a bit of imagination to improve your interior. One of the main trends is to be closer to nature. Natural materials, colors and textures occupy leading positions in turns, but the general vector to return to naturalness remains unchanged.
There are many things now. However, people slowly realize that not all of them are necessary for life. For us, after the deficit of everything in the Soviet Union, this understanding came a little later. Though now pretentious luxury with an abundance of decorations seems naive and ridiculous even in the richest mansions.

Minimalism is in favor. Not ascetic minimalism of the past, but something called Soft minimal. It has neither extra things nor highlighted strictness anymore. Its motto is to give way only to necessary things, and if something is not so necessary, but convenient, let it be too. But you`ll hide it.

The trend is clean lines without visual noise: no panels, appliances and sockets are hidden.

However, in the world of design, ultra-modern Soft minimal coexists quite peacefully with other minimalistic styles that have spread a little earlier: Japanese and Scandinavian styles.

The last few decades are changing quickly and have pushed clean design styles with unhurried pace of life gone to the past. They are too different from the modern dynamic world. The world of a modern human is not monotonous, it is very different, rapid and fluid, and the difference is that it is always here. So, these combinations give birth to real harmony. The tendency to mix styles — eclecticism — is an attempt to bring this feeling into the interior. Like the previous ones, this vector of development will not leave its positions in the near future. Though the details will change: the 2018/2019 trend is a warm cozy ethnic, the 2019/2020 trend is bold and bright Art Deco.

However, not only styles are mixed. Now it is customary to combine a smooth metallic luster with a rough wooden texture, delicate lace with unbleached linen. Old and new is another fascinating combination that helps to create not only comfortable and warm, but also modern and convenient atmosphere.

People are tired of the same things. Therefore, the key vector of modern design is personalization. Do not be afraid to experiment and combine incongruous, at first glance, things. If you are comfortable and something is beautiful for you, so it should be in your home. Moreover, modern trends approve of such an approach.
