The Redfin Blog recently requested inputs from leading Interior Designers across the Globe on the major trends in Interior Design in the year 2020 and the Interior themes that are expected to gain momentum in the current year.

At “The Studio” we feel that 2020 was a defining year for the Interior Design Industry as it turned the focus from extravagism to minimalism and giveback to the planet. This design trend is expected to continue and gain momentum in 2021.

Do read about our comments and those from other global designers over here – https://www.redfin.com/blog/2020-home-design-trends-wrapped/
