Top 10 Interior Styles in 2020

A common challenge many of our partners face is the difficulty of getting their clients to understand a particular design style or styles. We find Pinterest is a powerful way to communicate a style guided by the key factors like line, form and colour. 

We've deconstructed what these top interior design styles mean to us in 2020. Browse our Pinterest boards and see what products we recommend.
