Top 100 Art & Design Trends in May

Despite being incredibly varied, the top May 2015 art and design trends offered a lot of insight in terms of aesthetic shifts and technological preferences.

When it came to home, furniture and architecture, the top May 2015 art and design trends saw a departure from the polished minimalism that has been dominating the design scene as of late. Instead, designers and consumers turned to either a raw, industrial aesthetic, or a rustic, rural-inspired look. In both cases, everything was a little less pristine and refined than in months' past.
