Online and Pinterest Search Data Reveal Significant Changes in Home Décor Styles

By: PRLog

CARDIFF, Wales - April 21, 2023 - PRLog -- There was a well-documented boom in home improvements during the pandemic with many people choosing to spruce up their homes. But since 2021 there has been considerable changes in what style of home décor and improvement people are looking for, or at least searching for on the internet and Pinterest. Data shows that people are shifting back towards modern and minimalistic styles and seeking out smaller scale home improvement ideas.

These preferences are also influenced by people's perspective on the rising cost of living where they are looking for energy reducing styles that also offer a warmer and cosy feel.

Solar Sunshades, a leading supplier of Blinds, Shutters, Awnings and Curtains, based throughout South Wales and the South West commissioned a study into the online search trends for window treatments and home décor.

"The data has been beneficial to us as trends and preferences have changed quite considerably since the pandemic. It enables us to respond to customer demands but also best advise our customers on what is currently stylish and on trend," said Brett Davies, Managing Director of Solar Sunshades.

"These trends reflect a shift in consumer preferences towards window treatments that offer both style and functionality. Allusion Blinds and Pinch Pleat Curtains are both popular choices for their versatility and ability to add a touch of elegance to any room. It's not surprising to see a decrease in interest for older styles like Rod Pocket Curtains or products that have seen strong sales over the past few years, like Louvered Shutters. As home decor styles change, so too do the products that the customer wish to furnish their homes with" said Brett Davies.
