Flat UI design is OVER. What's next?

[TELUGU]

Everyone loves flat designs. But flat design overstayed its welcome, became boring and is not going to be the only design in the future. Businesses are realizing flat designs are actually making them lose revenue as users are so bored with the design that they are not responding to the CTAs.

Neumorphism, Glassmorphism and more contemporary designs are coming to give UIs some cool personalities. It's not just a matter of adding gradient and bevels to buttons. Those things we know doesn't age well. But AirBnB is going on an interesting direction, bringing drop shadows and background gradient to add depth, and glow along with gradients as if there's a light passing through. The future will be a mix of "floating" object with drop shadows and subtle gradients, in general focusing on providing a touchy "material" feel and not just matching colors. Users would be amused and tempted with these designs that they would interact with the UI elements more generating more revenue (which is what businesses want).
