Experts share how to bring that old school 90s decor trends into today\u2019s spaces with neutral tones, clean lines, and functional design staples.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The 1990s and 2000s marked a shift toward simplicity, with interiors favoring open layouts, neutral palettes, and an emphasis on livability. Think white or beige walls, functional shaker-style cabinets, and subway tile backsplashes that add just enough detail without overwhelming the space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This era was all about practicality with a polished edge\u2014granite and quartz countertops, clean-lined furniture, and finishes that prioritized both form and function. Whether you’re updating a suburban split-level <\/span>house in Denver<\/span><\/a> or refreshing a minimalist <\/span>apartment in Los Angeles<\/span><\/a>, there’s still a lot to love (and keep) from this era. We asked design experts to share how they\u2019re reimagining the best of 1990s and 2000s design in modern homes\u2014bringing timeless ideas forward with a refined touch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"90s<\/p>\n

1. Open up your space with a modern take on the open floor plan<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mark O’Krafka from <\/span>Team O’Krafka<\/span><\/a> says, “One of our favorite design elements from the 1990s\u20132000s is the open-concept floor plan. It’s a layout that still resonates today, especially when paired with modern lighting, neutral tones, and layered textures. We also appreciate how stainless steel appliances and clean-lined cabinetry from that era have evolved into timeless staples with a sleeker, more sophisticated twist.”<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Use floral wallpaper and brass for a fresh twist on tradition<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Floral wallpaper was a mainstay of 1990s interior decor and added a soft, feminine touch to homes of that era,\u201d shares\u00a0 Elizabeth & Lindsay, <\/span>Dwell October<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWe love using bold floral wallpaper to add personality to small spaces, such as powder bathrooms and guest bedrooms. We often pair it with wainscoting or shiplap paneling for a modern twist.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Polished brass plumbing fixtures were all the rage in the 1990s. We love the warmth that gold and brass finishes bring to a space, and we often incorporate them into our designs today. Our trick is to mix in another complementary metal\u2014like matte black or chrome\u2014to give the space a more layered, updated look.”<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Highlighting 1990s-inspired layouts with comfort and functionality<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Minimal in Design leans into incorporating elements influenced by the 1990s and 2000s\u2014specifically a neutral palette, open-concept living, and a focus on comfort and functionality.\u201d <\/span>Laura Howett from <\/span>Minimal in Design<\/span><\/a> says, \u201cWe’re big on the open floor plan concept and design our furniture aesthetic and layout with that in mind. The 1990s and 2000s really made a lasting mark with this design shift.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Let in the light and define cozy, flexible spaces<\/span><\/h2>\n

“What I appreciate about 1990s and early 2000s design is how unapologetically practical it was,\u201d mentions <\/span>Jimmy Welch<\/span><\/a>, President of the <\/span>The Jimmy Welch Team<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt focused on comfort and livability\u2014spaces people actually wanted to spend time in. One feature I\u2019ve always liked is the dedicated family room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back then, it wasn\u2019t all wide-open everything\u2014there were still boundaries that created cozy, functional spaces. Today, we\u2019re seeing a return to that idea with flex rooms and quiet corners. I\u2019d also bring back the emphasis on natural light and big, simple windows. Instead of heavy drapes, it was all about letting the light in. Now we update that with energy-efficient designs and cleaner window treatments, but the goal is still the same\u2014a bright, welcoming space. The \u201990s style wasn\u2019t overly curated, and that authenticity still resonates.”<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/span>Mix \u201990s minimalism with modern, sustainable design<\/span><\/h2>\n

Justin Landis<\/span><\/a>, Founder of <\/span>Justin Landis Group<\/span><\/a>, recommends, \u201cI still love incorporating those modern elements\u2014like stainless steel appliances and streamlined layouts\u2014into homes today, often blending them with natural textures and lighter colors to keep spaces feeling open and airy. Open-concept living continues to work well, especially when paired with smart tech, flexible layouts, and sustainable materials. That mix of nostalgia and practicality makes a space feel timeless and livable.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"90s<\/p>\n

6. Layer earthy neutrals with texture and modern contrast<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nitya Seth<\/span><\/a>, Interior Designer at <\/span>Nityanamya<\/span><\/a>, suggests, \u201cI still enjoy working with earthy neutral palettes\u2014beiges, taupes, and warm grays\u2014layered with textured decor to add depth without feeling dated. There\u2019s real harmony between \u201990s minimalism and today\u2019s preference for functional, uncluttered spaces. I also love incorporating glossy finishes and futuristic shapes from the 2000s to create visual contrast, using curved furniture and metallic details in moderation. When vintage-inspired elements are combined thoughtfully with modern design, the result is a space that feels both updated and authentic.”<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Modernize 1990s design staples with subtle upgrades<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cYou know what? I\u2019ll never let go of 1990s\u20132000s design. Its simplicity\u2014open spaces, clean lines, and no-fuss style\u2014still feels fresh today. Sure, not everything from back then needs a comeback (looking at you, sponge-painted walls), but a lot of it still works. That era focused on comfort and livability, which we all still want.,\u201d informs <\/span>Magda Callery<\/span><\/a>, Interior Designer at <\/span>Style by Magda<\/span><\/a>. \u201cBy softening the lines, updating materials, and adding texture, we\u2019re not starting over\u2014we\u2019re just modernizing a good idea. Design is all about mixing the old with the new. And if that includes a little \u201990s chic? I\u2019m in\u2014just no blow-up chairs, please.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Magda\u2019s favorite \u201990s-inspired design trends, but updated for today:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Beige-on-beige, but with texture: <\/b>Layered neutrals feel calm, not dull, when paired with wood, natural stone, and tactile fabrics.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Open floor plans, with intention:<\/b> Keep the flow, but define spaces with rugs, lighting, or bold florals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Wood and stainless steel:<\/b> Balance sleek metal with warm, rustic finishes for a grounded, modern look.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Low-key built-ins:<\/b> Clean-lined cabinetry and subtle storage let materials and craftsmanship shine.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    8. Work with what you\u2019ve got\u2014just give it new life<\/span><\/h2>\n

    \u201cI grew up during the rise of HGTV and was heavily influenced by designers like Michael Payne, who blended masculine and feminine styles with a focus on functionality. I still remember how he used stainless steel appliances to make kitchens feel sleek yet livable\u2014that stuck with me.\u201d <\/span>Melody Stevens<\/span><\/a>, Owner of <\/span>Design on a Dime Interiors<\/span><\/a> continues, \u201cWhat I appreciated about 1990s and early 2000s design was the shift toward open floor plans and earthy palettes that made homes feel calm and intentional. Black granite, maple cabinets, and stainless steel created a polished, thoughtful look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Even though I wasn\u2019t designing for clients yet, that era shaped how I think about balance in design\u2014mixing timeless structure with fresh, functional updates. I still walk into \u201990s homes and think, \u2018We can work with this.\u2019 The bones are solid\u2014we just give it new life.”<\/span><\/p>\n

    9. Balance minimalism with warmth and intention<\/span><\/h2>\n

    “I got my start managing renovations on properties I invested in, and now I run a GC firm here in NYC. What I still respect about late \u201990s and early 2000s design is the simplicity\u2014it was all about clean lines, open layouts, and function over fluff,\u201d says<\/span> Adam Hicks<\/span><\/a>, CEO of <\/span>CooperBuild<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cA lot of apartments and brownstones we work on still have bones from that era, and when done right, those open floor plans still hold up. I’ve been bringing back earth tones\u2014warm beiges, taupes, soft browns\u2014but using better materials and textures to give them depth. Stainless steel? Still a classic when balanced with wood or stone\u2014it gives you that durable, unfussy look New Yorkers appreciate. The key is taking the calm, minimal vibe from back then and updating it with craftsmanship and detail. It complements modern living without feeling too sterile or staged.”<\/span><\/p>\n

    10. Why wallpaper is back\u2014and how to use it to transform a room<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Andrea Thompson, Owner and Founder of <\/span>Drea Design Services<\/span><\/a>, claims, The early 2000s were a time when we collectively turned our backs on wallpaper, considering it dated and out of step with newer design trends. Instead, designers and homeowners embraced bare walls, opting for DIY techniques like blotting paint with sea sponges and rags, using stencils and stamps, or even sandpapering for an aged look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I think it\u2019s fair to say those trends are\u2014almost\u2014completely gone, replaced by a renewed love for wallpaper and its endless creative possibilities, bold designs, and mural-inspired wow factor. Wallpaper is king again, and my clients and I are all for it. Whether it\u2019s a statement wall or an entire room, the right wallpaper can define a space like no other single element.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
