The 1990s marked a significant contrast to the explosion of color and the maximalism of the 80s, shifting towards a more sober, relaxed, and, in many cases, minimalist aesthetic.
- Bright and orderly environments were sought, avoiding an overload of decorative elements.
- Light wood, metal, glass, and stainless steel became very common. Functionality and the honesty of materials were highly valued.
- Furniture tended to have straight lines and simple designs, harmoniously integrating into spacious, open areas. Modular furniture was very popular for its versatility.
- There was also a trend towards a cozy, country-style decor, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and the use of floral wallpaper on the walls.
The minimalism of the 90s focused on clean lines, simple cuts, and a neutral color palette (white, black, gray, beige).
