Introduction
interior design has seen a fine array of styles as
homeowners look to transform the look in their homes.
Whether it be painted or mosaic walls, rich, ornate furniture
or bright, bold prints, people through the ages have
decorated their homes to improve home décor, and in that
respect, not much has changed since cavemen painted their
caves. How have and people their homes through the ages?
What style have they chosen? What inspired them? How has
that changed to modern day home décor?

Art nouveau
in a spirit of rebellion, 1960s plundered the past for inspiration. The result is a ragbag of styles culled from all
over, including Victorian and Edwardian, the 1920s and art nouveau. But it was not just about replicating past
styles; everything was given an irreverent twist to make it all its own.
Coloured carpets
Some contemporary coloured carpets are stunning. Fact.

ceramics
In the 1980s, an Art Deco revival occurred in the realm of graphic
design. Clean-lined fonts with modern curves were prominent, but
angles and ’20s/’30s-inspired arches also infiltrated the world of
interior design in a style we call ’80s Deco. Art Moderne-style
artwork, ceramic curves on ’80s modern vases, and rounded furniture
abounded

Track lighting.
Track lighting is an easy and effective way of bringing the 80’s
back. Try to look for track lighting that is big in size. You may have
to search around a bit as the track lighting you find in stores today
generally tends to be smaller. But when rocking the 1980’s it’s
definitely a case of the bigger the better.

Chintz
Chintz actually originates from India and can be dated back to the 1600’s. After a
while Chintz started to be imported to England and was seen as an extremely rare
and desirable piece, hence the expensive price tag. These prints were popular for
quilts, bed covers and draperies – as they are today.
The 90’s
The 90’s provided sobriety after the heady excess of the
previous decade. Interior design was toned back for a more
minimalist look with natural colors and lots and lots of pine
furniture. We can still hear the squeak from inflatable chairs
and feel the boredom of beige on beige on beige. Think ivy
wall designs carefully stenciled around windows, floral
patterns on chairs, and sofas, faux-silk flowers, sponge
painted walls, and the unfortunate carpet in bathrooms.
Furniture
Furniture got a little experimental in this decade, bringing
new forms and perfecting old ones as well.

The "Old World" Trend
Predominantly found in kitchens, the faux-aged finishes, copper
accents, and farmhouse tables made everyone feel like they
were in a kitchen in Provence. Though the French look has
never quite gone out of fashion, what made this trend so '90s
was the use of color

Felt Chair
Design: Marc Newson
Fibreglass, aluminium
Production by, Italy
A few years after leaving art school in his native Sydney, the Australian designer
Marc Newson (1963-) moved to Tokyo, where he became fascinated by Japanese
culture – from the purity of traditional ukiyo-e, to the candy-coloured kitsch of
kawaii. Newson was also fascinated by the Japanese craft of origami, or paper
folding, aesthetically and in terms of its functional possibilities. When creating
the compound curved form of his 1988 Felt Chair, Newson applied the origami
principle of working from a flat piece of thick felt – of the type he admired in
Joseph Beuys’ sculpture. He later worked with Cappellini to remake the Felt Chair
in fibreglass.

In came a new millennium and a new focus. Obviously the
technological revolution made a huge impact on societal behavior
and values. While color was brought back into the spotlight, so was
efficiency – represented by IKEA’s flat-packed furniture – and
entertainment – as has been represented by a large flat-screen
television. In a world where everyone was becoming more and more
“connected” per se, the importance of communicating a sense of
personality was also made visible in the home through decor details
such as photography, wall hangings, art pieces, plant life, and more.
Flat-Pack GREEN Replica
• Interior design trends of the noughties has seen another boost in
environmentalism, with DIY and upcycling trends becoming popular.
With a love for industrial style and a nod to the era of older buildings,
many home owners are choosing to expose timber beams, opt for
polished concrete over carpet and exposing raw brickwork to add
character and warmth to their homes. Minimalistic styles have also
remained strong throughout the decade, with Ikea-style flat-pack
furniture making its way into many homes.

Earthy Neutrals
Sage is slated to be the new neutral. Replacing the likes of pure white, beige
and stone - the muted green with grey undertones is certainly more bold
than others but it's an approachable colour. Paired with woods and a cream
colour palette, the green will soften and warm up any space. Other pastels
that are tipped to be hot include soft mustards, jades and olives.
