2020 Mid-Year Trends: What Design Companies Are Working On

There is no doubt that the last months have been some of the most unusual and challenging in years for homeowners, companies and society as a whole. After weeks of lockdown and social isolation, some countries have started easing restrictions and reopening to a new “normal,” while others are still in the middle of local emergencies.
