As with many things in life, style doesn’t always last. What was once ‘in’ ten years ago may now look tacky and outdated. Unfortunately, interior design isn’t excluded from these waves of trends. However, there are some trends that stand the test of time. We’re going to take a closer look at some of the current top interior design trends, as well as looking at some classic trends that will still be relevant in the years to come.
