Discovering your preferred interior design style can be an exciting journey! It involves exploring various elements, themes, and aesthetics to see what resonates with you most. Here are some popular interior design styles to consider:
I often don’t know how to describe the style of a home I design, what would you consider this project? I think I would describe it as modern transitional with a few coastal farmhouse elements.
Modern: Features clean lines, a simple color palette, and the use of materials like metal, glass, and steel.
Contemporary: Focuses on the here and now, with an emphasis on space rather than things. It often includes open spaces and natural light.
Minimalist: Takes notions of modern design and simplifies them further. Color palettes are neutral and airy; furnishings are simple and streamlined, and nothing is excessive or flamboyant in accessories or décor.
Industrial: Draws inspiration from an urban loft or an industrial warehouse. High ceilings, old timber, dangling metal light fixtures, and sparse functional furniture are common.
Mid-Century Modern: Characterized by refined lines, minimalist silhouettes, and natural shapes. It gives a nod to the 1950s and '60s.
Scandinavian: Inspired by the simplicity of life demonstrated in Nordic countries. It blends textures, soft hues, and clean lines.
Traditional: Reflects classic European decor. Themed around dark woods, rich color palettes, and a variety of textures and curved lines.
Bohemian: Represents a carefree lifestyle with little rules, emphasizing vintage furniture, globally inspired textiles, and light fixtures.
Rustic: Draws inspiration from the outdoors and incorporates raw and unfinished elements, including wood and stone.
Shabby Chic: Utilizes antique style and vintage fabrics to create an appearance of age and signs of wear-and-tear.
Reflect on which materials, colors, and furnishings make you feel most at home or excited. Consider looking through magazines, websites, or social media for inspiration.
As we work together, I will guide you through a few questions to help narrow down your preferences, or you can share more about what you're drawn to in your living space. This exercise ensures that we are on the same page and you love the design throughout the process. Also keep in mind that you don’t have to fit into one of these styles, I always love mixing and matching to create a unique but cohesive design.
