Simplicity rules the roost as more and more people are opting for minimalist interior designs this year.

Conversely, maximalism is also making its way into people’s homes and gaining popularity today as well. Gaudy ornaments which seem to be placed enormously, daring and contrastive colour schemes and superimposed materials and textures belong to the main tendencies of the vernacular style.
