In this era, where every new interior designer is setting up his / her own high standards by introducing new trends every single day. I’ve been working on a case study that decodes interior design trends from the 2000s to the 2020s.

But the truth is, most trends are associated with previous decades and everything comes back around again and again.

Considering the level of competition in the market, this case study will update you with possible future trends.

So that it becomes easy for all of us to predict the future of interior design

 The following is just the part of that case study, where I’ve listed down interior design trends from the 2000s, 2010s to 2020s.

Let’s remember some of the biggest trends of the previous years, and then look ahead to what we can expect with this decade.

Trends From the 2000s

1. Oversized Wall Units In Living Room

We all had a bulky looking wall unit in our houses with thousands of storage and different display units.

Some units acted as a book shelf, some had the purpose of award storages. Center of the wall units were dedicated to our bulky TV.

Extremely nostalgic.

2. Wood Wood Wood

How can we forget our wooden based houses of 2000s, where ‘Sunmica'(Laminates) were our best design choice ever.

Don’t forget the golden lights, which actually reminded us of our childhood. Any get together in the house and all the golden lights used to get switched on.

3. Patterned Curtains And Fabrics

Patterned fabrics were a part of our décor since the 1960s as, it used to signify Indian culture and slowly it became a great part of all Indian homes.

Patterns are still followed but the concept of patterned fabrics have mutated and now it always gives out a subtle feel.

4. Vinyl Carpet Through Out The Flooring

Vinyl Carpets were the cheapest concept available then. No tension of installation of tiles, no maintenance, no hassle, variety of designs with different price range.

An idle flooring option of the 2000s.

Vinyl floorings have again come back to our trend list, but this time in a plank form, making it simple to transport.

5. Vintage Furnitures

Wallpaper have two main advantages, which made us inclined towards all walls with wallpaper.

  1. No maintenance at all.
  2. En-number of design options with textures available.

3. Random Wall Graphics

More rich the person, the more unique graphic his living room wall had.

In a way it was to show lavish lifestyle of a family.

4. Usage of Bright Colors More -Such as purple, Yellow, Pink, and Red

I’m happy for this fact that this design is no longer practiced.

5. Jula For The Oldies

Jula is one of the key point which signifies Indian culture since its inception.

Over time Jula became a significant of elderly people, who love their morning tea with a little bit of swing
