Decade of design

The last 10 years of interior design and home styling have really been anything but dull, which puts the cool but cold minimalism in the past.

“The biggest change from the 90s to the noughties was the move from minimalism to the use of much richer, deeper and interesting colours,” says Jan Janecek, a designer at interior design company Bentheim. “The trend for this decade has been for comfort - people want to come home to good, comfortable design which is still cutting edge.”

The whitewashed brick and wooden floors style may never tire us, interior designers have made style more individual and less perceptive.

The ‘Noughties’ has brought something different from the indistinct colour scheme of beige, white and more beige, the palette choice for buy to letters dressing warehouse bachelor pads.
