Home Décor Over the past 2 Decades: Past to Present

 

 

All the 90s kids out there, we have already seen all the trends that have been going on over the past 2 decades. From, the change in fashion to living, we have seen the world change its course in many different directions.      

 

Painters and decorators at Glasgow have been in this business for a long time now and have experienced every type of interior decoration done in the past 20 years.

 

There is a big difference seen in the past 20 years in the world of interior decorating. There are a lot of factors that affect the trends, and home décor trends are ultimately affected by what happens in the world. Now, we are freer than ever to explore more with the trends and what we like or dislike. Remember, there is no longer a need to be fit in with the trends.

 

With this let's take a look at the trends that we have been seeing through decades. We are sure some of them you most likely remember!

 

The 2000s

In the 2000s we saw some interesting trends towards interior design established on technology. We saw interior designs based around big TVs and Hi-Fis in this decade. The TVs were now slimmer, and people were at liberty to start setting up integrated speakers.

 

The 2000s was also a decade for re-using old items and furniture into a new trend. "Vintage" became trendy by the latter half of the decade, many homes embraced distressed or deliberately retro pieces to make their rooms look more vintage-like. This period was also more into DIY, because of the shifts in TV programming, which many people were inclined to try and follow what showed in telly would work or not.

 

Thankfully, the 2000s saw an end to pesky puffed-up hanging wallpapers at Glasgow and Artex style ceilings, they are still around to some degree nowadays, but, they fell off at the end of the 90s.

 

We really did love the continental style back in the 2000s – if you had a Tuscan themed bathroom, you already know what we mean!

 

The 2010s

By the 2010s, many homeowners decided to shift from the polished look and people showed interest in shabby chic. This means people took on barn doors and worn wooden fittings to make things look more authentic. The 2010s mainly focused on the natural look rather than the synthetic look.

 

This look was inculcated in the kitchen spaces, too. There is a huge difference between the kitchens of the 2000s compared to the kitchens of the 2010s. In this period, we saw people deconstruct their cupboards and keep open shelving to make things more accessible and convenient.

 

Wall painters use to use vivid colors such as purple and pink may have appeared a bit inelegant at that time, and people started looking at milder tones to paint their interiors.
