Living Room (Vintage, Coastal, Minimalist)
Pinned 259,021 times, vintage is once again the most popular interior design style for the living room area, with antique rugs and oversized couches emanating a warm, welcoming vibe.

From turquoise to sea green, play with your favourite ocean hues to achieve that laid back beach vibe, and decorate with driftwood accessories to capture the essence of a relaxed coastal interior.
Bathroom (Contemporary, Vintage, Rustic)
The most desired interior decor for the bathroom is contemporary with 172,146 pins. Neutral accents, clean lines and a no-frills approach have clearly appealed to many, as contemporary themed bathrooms received around 50% more pins than both vintage (88,440 pins) and rustic (81,838 pins) themes, which finished in second and third place respectively.
