Fashion repeats itself and the same is true for interior design. For instance, vivid colors reflect the mainstream interior design trends of the 60-70s. Clean lines of the modern Minimalist style go back to the middle of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Minimalist style has been swapped for the Postmodern style originated in the 80s. Main characteristics of Postmodern style:
Complexity
If you aim at creating a unique interior full of items with a character and history, then you should go for a Postmodern style. This style was inspired by the bohemian culture, love of freedom, and flowers of the hippies in the 60s. Minimalism in the Postmodern interior is replaced by complexity, offering the perfect style to bold people.
Sharp colors and patterns
Sharp and vivid colors, unusual patterns, and strong contrasts are the essential elements in Postmodern interior design. Contrasting shapes and colors naturally combine to create an original and welcoming atmosphere.
Postmodern interior colors include hues of avocado, orange, turquoise, and sometimes, shades of metal too.
Shapes and lines
Postmodern interior favors irregular and vague shapes over clean lines. That’s why this style boasts asymmetrical lines, unusual designs, lamps, furnishings, and decorative items.
Fabrics and materials
Postmodern style loves tight woven fabrics and wooden materials to bring warmth and character into space. Additionally, one can use glass, leather, plastic, and semi-precious materials such as fur and velvet to establish a Postmodern style.
Every detail in the interior can be adorned with postmodern colors, laminate, cardboard, and plastic to give the space a rich and unusual look.
Original design
Postmodern colors, patterns, and ornaments give an original look to ordinary items. No wonder the style instantly catches everyone's attention. For example, one can paint the door red and add blue stripes to it. This look will cheer up the atmosphere.
