Designers shared which techniques from the 2000s can be used in modern interiors.
Many people remember the interior features of the 2000s no worse than the characteristic design of the 90s. Over time, designers have rethought the ideas of the 2000s, as a result of which some interior techniques from those times have become a trend again.
Bright colors
The interiors of the 2000s were distinguished by bright and catchy, and sometimes acidic colors. Gradually, the trend towards natural, calm shades came to replace it, and this remains relevant to this day. But when decorating apartments, experts still suggest not to give up brightness and individuality: if you like bold color schemes, you can use them. But it is better to choose more complex shades and remember the 60/30/10 rule (60% of the room is the dominant color, 30% is the second color, 10% is the accent color).
9 ways to refresh the interior of the apartment in a few days
Kitchen backsplash with right
A bright sign of the design of the 2000s was kitchen backsplashes with realistic photo printing. Now the drawings are up to date again, but they have become a little different. These should be images, not photos. For example, you can choose tiles with natural scenes or mosaic patterns.
Bulky furniture
In the 2000s, massive furniture showed wealth and well-being, but over time, more elegant compact solutions appeared in apartments. Now scale is back in fashion. If you want to use large furniture, match it with the size of the room. For example, a corner sofa is very suitable for zoning a kitchen-living room, but it will look inappropriate in the corner of a small room.

Carpets
Many apartments in the year 2000 had carpets, but then they fell out of fashion because they were not practical. However, the soft, cozy floor is always relevant. Now for this it is better to use large carpets that will occupy almost the entire room. You can retreat 10-20 cm from the wall, so the space will look more spacious.
Photo wallpaper
Photo wallpapers with realistic pictures, which were popular in the year 2000, no longer have a place in modern interiors. But the concept of such coverage is popular again. Now, to decorate accent walls, designers suggest choosing abstract or graphic scenes, floral patterns, or sketchy images of wildlife.
Dark furniture
20 years ago, dark furniture was considered status and luxury. Then the designers switched to lighter colors. Now dark furniture is back in fashion, the main thing is to combine it with neutral room decoration and contrasting decor. So a black sofa can be decorated with light gray textiles, and a colorful carpet can be placed next to it.
