From month to month, our followers generally alternate between preferring the cool ease of neutral tones and favoring the glamorous exuberance of bright, bold hues. So, it makes sense that the most-liked interiors in 2019 are split between the two starkly contrasting color schemes.

From OOAA Arquitectura’s elemental marble bathroom in Menorca, Spain, to Ken Fulk’s maximalist mix of wallpapers in a two-story Sonoma, California, bar area, our followers have loved both styles equally.

Here are the 19 most popular interiors from 2019.

How do you transform a windowless box into a magical space? If you’re @palmerweiss, you partner with artist Willem Racke to create dramatic floor-to-ceiling eglomise panels inspired by Henry Rousseau paintings and old images of the Congo. Weiss, a master of mixing eras, added an antique giltwood Louis Philippe mirror flanked by Urban Electric Co. sconces. The result: a powder room that’s moody and dramatic at night, yet verdant and welcoming during the day. Photo by @matthewmillmanphoto

Fresh from the pages of our Fall 2019 catalogue is our latest design obsession: Woven Wonders. Whether it’s raffia or leather, wood or rope, wool or rattan, paper or yarn — natural fibers add texture to any interior and complement styles from traditional to trendy. Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic Rio Chaise Lounge uses straw to enhance its soft, elegant curves — and convey a notion of relaxed refinement.

In the design world, less is not necessarily more. Maximalism’s emphasis on big statements and vibrant color adds personality to a space or a piece. For proof, just gaze on this corner of the 1stdibs gallery, decked out in an eclectic but cohesive mix of ultra-glam pieces. We love the Carlo Bugatti cabinet paired with a 19th-century club chair and contrasting throw rugs. Not sure if you’re a maximalist or minimalist?

This living room is giving us major Parisian vibes, but the pied-à-terre — imagined by @gramercydesign and inspired by the homeowners’ travels to the City of Light — is an ocean away, on New York’s Upper West Side. “We created a ‘Parisian garret’ as a sanctuary when they are in town,” says firm founder Kyle O’Donnell, who worked with designer Cindy Coscoros on the enchanting space. Here, the duo paired the homeowners’ dusty rose Vladimir Kagan sofa with their vintage black armchair. Our favorite element? The Heather Chontos painting, which includes nearly every color in the room. Photo by Emily Andrews.

Little spaces call for large ideas. In this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse, @studio_db was assigned a small bathroom. The designers’ solution: paint the walls deep green and apply de Gournay’s overscale interpretation of a paper from a Beverly Hills home once occupied by Marlene Dietrich. A purple tub and a custom bar-vanity complete the big look in an iconically jewel-toned space. Visit the link in bio for more jewel-box hues from our Fall 2019 catalogue.

The epitome of hygge (Danish for “exceptionally cozy”), the Jolene chair by @elnaznamaki_studio is the perfect foil for brisk fall temperatures. With its super-soft pink sheepskin upholstery, it brings a new level of cheerful comfort to the charming Notting Hill townhouse nook in which it’s ensconced. Makes us want to curl up with a page-turner— and a proper cup of tea, of course. Explore more cozy furniture from the design studio in the link in bio.

More than shag carpets and wood paneling, 1970s style was a departure from postwar modernist conformity. Focused on enhancing individual expression, designers experimented with buoyant prints, bold colors and soft lines.
