Videos for 2015 Interior Design Trends

/in ,

One of the best ways to impress a client with your interior design renderings is to show that you’re aware of current design trends and have an eye on what’s becoming popular. Interior design — like fashion — tends to be cyclical but also quick to change.

If you want to keep clients excited or refresh your portfolio, then checkout the interior design videos below.


This is a short video that looks at a home with a lot of light and natural wood. If you’re thinking about cabin interiors or homes set in more scenic setting, then watch this one.

Best Modern Kitchen Design and Interior Ideas 2015

This one focuses on emerging trends in kitchen design.With so many people becoming foodies, it’s important to incorporate the latest trends in cabinetry, appliances and space usage. Kitchens can make or break any interior design project.

Interior Design Trends 2015

Here’s a video with a little more character. The Southern Girl walks you through trends in patterns, colors and themes. I like that she also shows examples from the 70s. It’s weird how interior design trends come back around.


This video looks at designs for small living rooms. I’m not sure how much demand you’ll get for rendering these types of spaces, but downsizing and smaller apartments are trends in many cities right now. The ideas here can also be applied to dens, reading rooms or play rooms.


This video is like a reality tv show. You may not like the Robeson’s, but they do a good job of refreshing a room with just some paint and few wall decorations. I’d look at this video if you are looking for little touches you can add to a model. The little details are often what sells it.

What Else Should We Look At?
