The world of interior design is constantly evolving with new trends popping up frequently. However, there’s one trend that has gained popularity online recently that designers say has actually been around for quite a while—the “both/and” trend.

Homeowners are increasingly rethinking traditional spaces such as the formal dining room or sitting room, guest bedrooms, long empty hallways, and more to try and find ways to make the most out of each space.
