Five Instagram trends in design and interior design

COVID-19 has had an impact on everything in our lives, even how we decorate.  A preference for materials that protect our health and that are easy to clean is overtaking every other trend.  But there is more to life than the potential consequences of the virus and some ideas that will likely set the tone over the coming months are emerging from these ever-changing times.
