1. Minimalist

Although achieving minimalism looks fairly simple, in reality, it is quite a difficult task. Placing a few furniture items within white walls isn't minimalism. A successful minimalist design goes beyond visual aesthetics and a monochromatic color palette. Everything in a minimalist interior has a function. All of the furniture has a purpose, the art, and all decorative items are simple in composition and add aesthetic value to the space. 

Minimalism is built around the idea that "less is more". The idea of this phrase is that, by having a low quantity of items, a higher quality can be achieved.

Simplicity, open floor plans, ample lighting, monochromatic color schemes, and clean lines are all features of minimalistic Interior Design.

2. Art Deco

Art Deco reached its peak popularity in the 1920s and 1930s. Although this design style may no longer be incorporated in interior spaces the same way it was back then, furniture and the aesthetic look of this design style are seen in many interior spaces. Art Deco pieces can be used to add period detail to a space. The craftsmanship and antique look of art deco design add interest to the Interior space.

Streamlined forms, geometric shapes, rich textiles, and color palettes are all features of art deco design.

3. Sustainable

Sustainable Interior is one of the biggest trends of the 21st Century. Sustainable designs have a lower impact on the environment, help reduce the carbon footprint and focus on reusing building materials. These spaces are also built to last a long time without frequent modification. 

Sustainable designs use materials that do not harm the environment and do not produce toxic emissions. Energy efficiency, lower consumption, and lower dependency on artificial light are characteristics of sustainable spaces. Solar energy is a great way to produce electricity for these spaces without having to depend on limited resources such as fossil fuels.

4. Industrial

Industrial Interior Design is inspired largely by repurposed factories during the Industrial Revolution. The interior of such spaces embraces exposed architectural elements like pipes, concrete, bricks, and a lot of metal elements. Cool neutral color palettes and open floor plans are also features of Industrial interior spaces.

Industrial designs also make use of bare light bulbs and repurposed material to add visual interest to the space.

5. Hollywood glam

Hollywood glam Interior is built to make a statement. It is dramatic, bold, and glamorous. Exquisite furniture, bold color palettes, gold and brass elements, rich fabrics, and glossy lacquered finishes are features of this design style.

Although Hollywood glam is dramatic, it is also very contemporary, uncluttered, and sophisticated. Hollywood glam design also includes antique, art deco, and mid-century-modern elements.

6. Scandinavian

The Scandinavian design style began in the 20th century. It mainly focuses on simplicity and comfort. Originating from the Nordic countries of the world (Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway), Scandinavian interior design is based on designs that go well with the Nordic culture and lifestyle. Scandinavian design is influenced by the cold climate and short winter days of the Nordic region.

Affordability, sleekness, bright interiors, clean lines, functionality, and coziness are priorities of a Scandinavian design. This design style is now becoming more and more popular in America and many other parts of the world.

7. Eclectic

Eclectic Interior design makes use of various design styles in harmony with each other to create unique spaces with great personalities. This design style can be used to highlight pieces from a series of eras and design movements, all in one place. 

Eclectic design is all about experimentation with contrasting yet somehow cohesive patterns, textures, finishes, and furniture.
