All you have to do is watch movies, sit-coms or commercials to see what "style" is hot now. 90% of the sets are in modern or mid-century spaces. Go watch an movie from the 90's, very little modernism, mostly craftsman and colonial houses (Home alone, Father of the bride, Rosanne, Everybody loves Raymond, etc) . Go back to the early 80's and you'll see victorians (Cosby show, Facts of Life).
