The 5 Most Trendy Styles in Interior Decoration

Our homes are sanctuaries, where we seek comfort and share moments with loved ones. They reflect our personalities through our tastes, emotions, and aspirations. Choosing the right interior design balances personal expression, functionality, and comfort.

From furniture to lighting, colors to small details—each element tells a part of our story. When decorating our homes, we look for styles that resonate with us while also staying current and appealing.

Using Policrete to remodel your home is a smart, practical choice. Policrete is a proprietary platform with two execution systems (resin-based and panel-based). We offer refinishing services for floors, bathrooms, walls, and countertops in styles and colors you prefer. Our proprietary surface systems can deliver meaningful time and cost savings compared to traditional methods, depending on scope and site conditions.

Here are five popular styles to consider:

Nordic

Nordic style, originating from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, focuses on maximizing light in environments where sunny days are scarce. It emphasizes light colors and natural elements. The color palette includes whites, grays, beiges, and muted tones with soft contrasts. Wood furniture or elements against light gray walls are common.

A seamless surface finish or polished concrete walls can support this trend. The continuity of a cement-based seamless finish reflects the simplicity and natural feel of Nordic environments. Combining these with wood elements gives a sense of longevity and modernity.

Scandinavian

Similar to Nordic, the Scandinavian style also aims to bring light into homes. It favors clear, open spaces with minimalistic touches, focusing on simplicity and tranquility. White dominates this style, often used on ceilings, floors, walls, and furniture in similar tones.

Furniture and decor frequently feature light woods, metals, and natural fibers. Cement floors add the characteristic gray touch, while thick wool rugs provide warmth. Vintage-style furniture and textiles enhance this look, creating comfort and height in spaces.

Minimalist

"Less is More" defines the minimalist trend, which emerged in the 1960s in the United States. It simplifies spaces by removing unnecessary elements. This style suits those who prefer simple and serene environments. Choose furniture with straight lines or shapes and minimal ornamentation to achieve this look.

Contrasting elements work well here—pair a proprietary seamless finish in gray or cream with dark, glossy wood or black furniture. Alternatively, dark gray floors can make brightly colored furniture stand out. Despite perceptions of coldness, minimalism offers elegance and warmth.

Industrial

Inspired by urban lofts and warehouses, the industrial style showcases building materials like iron, wood, cement, and concrete. Originating in 1950s New York, it emphasizes creative spaces with exposed construction elements. High ceilings, old wood, metal lamps, and minimal furniture define this style.

Furniture made of metal or iron, even with rust, fits perfectly. Untreated woods and veneers complement the look. A few colorful decorative pieces like paintings or photographs add character. Industrial style often uses gray, balanced by natural light and materials like a proprietary seamless finish or polished concrete.

Art Deco

Art Deco, a symbol of 20th-century glamour and sophistication, uses geometric lines, rectilinear shapes, and a monochrome palette with bright color contrasts like red, blue, or yellow. It creates modern, ornate spaces with a touch of extravagance.

Geometric prints in bright colors are essential, creating ornate, modern spaces. This style allows for creative expression through contrast and color.

No matter your chosen style, Policrete can help you achieve it. Our proprietary seamless finish—along with cement, polished concrete, and marble-inspired finishes—can adapt to many interior directions, bringing continuity and a refined look to the home.
