eclectic interior design trends. However, Cushion Cover, £35.95.
arguably minimalism remained the interior Audenza, audenza,com
design trend of choice during much of
the 2010s particularly with Scandi style
growing evermore in popularity.
However, if you read our latest issue
of Premier Living, you’ll know that it’s all
about maximalism now. Bold colours and
patterns have claimed their rightful place
back in homes and personal style is being
encouraged as is blending the old with the
new.
At present, it looks like maximalism is
here to stay for a while, but before the
decade is out, we may see a return to
the popularity of the neutral tones and
simplicity of minimalism.

i HI TECH HOMES GET SMARTER
Technology has developed at a fast pace
over the last decade and so the bar for
hi-tech homes has risen ever higher. In
2010, multi-room systems and home
cinemas were at the top of wish lists.
As we enter 2020, smart technology
is what people want. The convenience
of being able to remotely control a
range of household devices, from
wireless speakers to themostats to home
security systems, using one of your
connected devices is certainly something
homeowners are after as the new
decade begins.
Technology continues to grow at a
fast pace, so it is likely that by the end of
decade we’ll have even more advanced
home appliances at our disposal.
