During the 70s and 80s, chintz reigned supreme, evolving as a series of floral patterns associated with popular fabric houses. But after a decade or so chintz was dumped for more minimalist looks. In 1996 Swedish furniture brand IKEA even coined the advertising slogan: 'Chuck out your chintz'.

The most recent chintz style twist has been cottagecore, but will that last? Perhaps we can tolerate a little moderation. Interior design expert Ryan McDonough at MyJobQuote says: "Chintz drifts in and out of fashion regularly but with most subsequent trends, it’s been used in a much more measured way. That’s why botanical, cottagecore and modern farmhouse trends are far better. Mixing bold florals with plain furnishings and other complementary patterns such as stripes is a better way to incorporate chintz into interior design."
