Contemporary

Contemporary style refers to styles that are modern and current with the styles of the moment. “Of the Moment” are the key words here. Love it or hate it – Farmhouse is dominating the interior design world. Overall, contemporary interiors use a variety of colors, forms, and shapes while being mindful of space to achieve a unique and fresh look.

Scandinavian

Scandinavian interior design uses clean lines, simple furnishings to create a sleek, modern look. We hear the word Hygge being used to describe this aesthetic goal. Hygge (pronounced hooguh) is more than a adjective that describes decor, it describes a feeling of warmth, comfort, and coziness. It emphasizes a variety of textures and soft hues to make space feel cozy, warm, and inviting.

Industrial

Industrial interior design is defined by the industrial architectural elements like materials and functional construction within a space. It is raw, almost unfinished, providing a casual atmosphere that’s relaxing to live in. There is nothing fussy or cluttered about it. Industrial style is hardworking and durable.

Mid-Century Modern

Mid-century modern design features clean lines, muted tones, a combination of natural and manmade materials, graphic shapes, and vibrant colors. Take care not become a historical reproduction in order to make Mid-Century Modern spaces look fresh. It’s a home, not a museum. That means using LED lighting and updated materials while being inspired by mid-century shapes, forms, and color palettes.

Modern

Modern design is characterized by use clean lines, minimalism, monochromatic color palette, natural light, and using natural materials in your decorating. Keeping it simple is key so be ruthless in editing your collections. One is enough and anything more than three is too much. Modern furnishings and decor are as practical as they are functional. If there isn’t a reason or a need for an item, it isn’t necessary.

Minimal

Minimalist design is similar to modern design and involves using the bare essentials to create a simple, uncluttered space. It’s characterized by simplicity, clean lines, and a spare monochromatic palette with a single color and sleek textures used as accents. Minimalism favors decor and furniture that have linear forms and no ornamentation.

Keep in mind, this is a baseline – a starting point. This means in order to make this house feel like home we still need to fill in with personal decor, textures, and color to make the space 100% uniquely you.
