Within the New York home is a stair beam constructed out of nearly 20,000 LEGO blocks. The visual design of the railing creates a flow of receding color up and down the stairs. The remainder of the LEGO apartment is composed of a color scheme and modern design that complements the composition of the LEGO-inspired interior display. Designed with the intention of creating a lot of open space within a fairly small environment, the LEGO apartment design is an intriguing adaptation of the classic building blocks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Lego-inspired Interiors:** There is an opportunity for innovative interior designers to create LEGO-inspired design spaces using various LEGO sets as inspiration. - **Incorporating Play Into Interiors:** Designers can incorporate playful elements into interior spaces to create unique and visually appealing environments that are more than just functional spaces. - **Sustainability in Interior Design:** There is an opportunity for designers to experiment with sustainable materials and construction methods in order to construct unique and eco-friendly interior spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies have an opportunity to work with clients to create unique, playful, and sustainable living and working spaces using unconventional materials, like LEGO blocks. - **Construction:** Construction companies have an opportunity to collaborate with designers and companies to construct buildings and homes using sustainable, eco-friendly materials and methods. - **LEGO Sets:** Toy companies like LEGO have an opportunity to create more complex and intricate sets that are designed with the intention of encouraging creativity and imaginative play in both children and adults. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Art Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-building-set.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md) - [Antique-Style Building Block Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp.md) - [Building Block Tiny Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tiny-house.md) - [Building Block Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-x-lego-collection.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Toy Brick-Inspired Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curving-block.md) - [Building Block Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tower-chess-set.md)
