Interior Design Over The Years

Over the years, people have chosen different styles that have changed every few decades. The taste and style of people have changed steadily over the years.

So, to dive deeper into the interior design trends over the years and see where lights came to play in the design trends, let us take a look at these trends starting from the 1900s following up till 2022:

• The 1900s - Art Nouveau - This art style was very prominent between 1890 to 1910. This movement saw everything made following nature, especially flowers. The color crimson was a standard of this era.

• The 1910s - Art Deco - This trend is one of the closest to modern trends. Art Deco was elaborate and atypical, and people would have a combination of multiple materials in one place. Round mirrors and geometric shapes became the norm.

• The 1920s - Bauhaus - This movement made a statement by embracing bold and primary colors. This era focused minimally on applied arts and architecture.

• The 1930s - Streamline Moderne - This era was inspired by transportation and industrial machines. Cement, steel, and glass were in demand and people looked out for rounded corners and low-lying horizontal forms in houses.
  

• The 1940s - Modernism - This is the start of what we call modern interior design. People believed in "less is more". Modernism was inspired by the machine age and new technology in architecture. 
  

• The 1950s - Scandinavian - The pivotal movement in modern history. It provided a stylish interior at an affordable price.

• The 1960s - Space Age - Influenced by space, people started buying furniture that resembled space travel and flights during the 1960s. It took the design to a new level by introducing plastic as one of the materials.

• The 1970s - Back To Nature - This era marked a complete off-track of styles by introducing various furniture relating to the environment.

• The 1980s - Postmodernism - This era marked an even stranger reaction to the modernism trend. People started feeling more is much better than less. Hence, people filled their homes with bold colors, clashing patterns, oversized scales, and excessive decoration.

• The 1990s Onwards - Minimalism - Simple became synonymous with sophisticated and, white and neutrals, became the more inviting colors. As the years went on, the minimalism era saw a few changes - Like the introduction of green (Due to the environment) in the 2000s or the addition of lighting (especially that gave a clear, more sophisticated look) in the current times. 
  
  

The minimalism trend gained even more popularity around the year 2019- When low-profile light fixtures entered the market.
