There’s no doubt that many people have used lockdown to tackle some DIY projects as Google searches for the term 'DIY' have more than trebled in the UK in the past few months.

With all that extra time on their hands, people have taken to the internet to get some interior design inspiration to spruce up their abodes,and online broker, Mojo Mortgages has revealed the top interior design trends that have been making a mark on Google this summer.

Using SEMrush, the site collated the average monthly Google search volumes for 20 interior design styles to reveal which one was the most popular, using the keywords 'style' + interiors, décor and design.

The results revealed that ‘Scandinavian’ is the most googled interior décor style, with a staggering 121,600 searches a month. What’s more, recent research revealed that having a Scandinavian styled home can add an extra £340,000 to the value of it, so it’s no wonder people are wanting to replicate this minimal, yet sleek and modern style.
