See which interior design style is preferred by Illinois residents

by Jessica Hamrick

Dust off that gaudy chandelier and break out the lace: Victorian interiors are back in style, at least for some Americans.

Though it may be surprising, a recent report from custom furniture brand Joybird reveals that Victorian-era designs are the most popular style of décor across the country. Using Google Trends data from the past year, the study sets the most-searched interior design term from each state side by side for comparison. With the backing of 10 states in total, Victorian fashions bested the competition. Those communities in full support include Nevada, Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware.

However, if ornate crown-molding and button-backed chairs aren’t necessarily your cup-of-tea, there is no need to fret. Joybird’s findings also suggest that the popularity of any given style varies significantly nationwide.

So while Victorian interiors may reign supreme in more Midwestern and Northeastern states, the same is not necessarily true for the rest of the country. For example, contemporary or transitional design styles are heavily favored in more coastal, metropolitan places like New York and California.

So where does Chicago stand when it comes to interiors? Jaybird’s findings uncover that the most-searched term in Illinois is actually contemporary, aligning with the tastes of the design industry at large and with New York in particular.

“The [contemporary] style encompasses a range of different trends developed in the latter half of the 20th century,” writes Natalie Way, a contributor at Realtor.com. “[It often features] rounded lines and a mix of bold and neutral shades.”

Joining New York and Illinois, other states who favor the contemporary style include Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas and Kansas.
