The designer named the popular interior styles

Interior trends, as well as changes in fashion, art, and the cultural agenda, reflect the demands of society and the mood of the time. Today, people strive to create spaces that not only meet aesthetic needs, but also become a place of comfort, self-expression and inner balance. Veronika Antelava, a professional designer and head of the interior designers and architects department at Mr.DOORS Furniture Studio, told Izvestia on May 18 about three styles that are rapidly gaining popularity and will remain relevant for many years to come.

The expert calls Art Deco one of the key areas, which is undergoing a significant transformation today. According to Antelava, the modern interpretation of this style differs significantly from its usual version with an accentuated decorative effect.

"Today, Art Deco is no longer an overloaded glamour, but a more restrained and intelligent luxury. Deep shades, expressive tactile textures, metallic luster, natural stone, including those with built—in lighting, glass and geometry create a sense of status, but without excessive theatricality," the expert notes.

This interior is chosen by those who seek to add expressiveness, character and sophistication to the space, while maintaining a sense of harmony and modernity.

According to the designer, the second notable trend was warm minimalism. Its popularity is directly related to people's desire to create an atmosphere of comfort and security at home against the backdrop of the high dynamics of modern life. This style is based on the use of natural materials, natural shades, soft shapes and tactile surfaces. The space remains concise and functional, but at the same time it looks lively and comfortable for everyday life.

"Warm minimalism is a balance between orderliness and comfort. It allows you to create an interior that does not overload visually, but at the same time remains emotionally warm," Antelava explained.

The expert calls modern folklore the third significant direction — reinterpretation of ethnic style through the prism of actual design. Such interiors reflect national motifs, local craft techniques, traditional patterns and cultural codes adapted to the modern space. The interest in this style is connected with the desire for individuality and the desire to emphasize the connection with cultural traditions.

"Such spaces show respect for heritage and at the same time create a modern aesthetic. This is a way to make the interior truly personal and meaningful," the expert emphasized.

The specialist noted that all three areas are united by a common demand for awareness, comfort and individuality. It is these values that will determine the development of interior solutions in the coming years.

Olga Manukovskaya, a designer at Level Group, said on April 11 that when buying a home, every square meter costs the owners a substantial amount, but during repairs, part of this area often turns into absolutely useless "blind spots". According to the expert, most often "dead zones" can be found when engineering communications are blindly sewn in bathrooms and kitchens.
