If you’re trying to design your home interior, getting inspiration from others can help. There are an incredible number of styles that you can draw from, depending on your own personal and unique style.
Here are a few of the most popular styles today, perfect for decorating new homes.
Neo-Classical Modern
Typified by dark woods, neutral colors, and bold patterns, this type of style is often called “traditional.” What prevents it from being truly traditional is that it’s generally built around reproductions of European styles, rather than the European styles themselves. Picture cream white striped patterns with rich, mahogany woods.
Ultra-Modern
Monochrome palettes, dark gray floors, and bright white walls dominate the canvas for contemporary, sophisticated designs.
Bold patterns and colors are added as accents to keep the interiors from looking too sterile and drab. Ultra-modern interiors tend to be minimalist, with few items of decor or furnishings.
Contemporary
Contemporary designs are similar enough that they often get confused with ultra-modern designs, but there’s a distinct difference: contemporary designs tend to feature more neutral colors, woods, and organic decor. Contemporary designs are likely paired with bright, open spaces, and open floor plans.
Mid-Century
Ripped straight from the pages of a 1950’s a magazine, mid-century design celebrates the designs of the 50’s to 60’s era.
Weighty furnishings on delicate legs, bold uses of materials, and clean lines are all hallmarks of this style, which must be carefully matched with the right home and layout. It’s not truly mid-century if it isn’t in a mid-century home.
Shabby Chic
With decor taken from the local antique shop, shabby chic puts a lot of emphasis on disparate elements that somehow come together.
Rough-around-the-edges secondhand furniture pairs with eclectic wallpaper and a devil-may-care design aesthetic.
Shabby chic designs are pulled together by common design elements, such as selecting a specific color palette.
Industrial
Exposed brick and hanging lights are all the rage when it comes to the industrial style, a style built around romanticized apartment living.
Industrial interiors have heavy metal furniture and minimalist decor, with the fixtures and property itself doing a lot of the talking.
Naturally, there are countless ways to design a home—these are only some of the most popular styles.
To really connect to a style that you love, you may need to do some additional research: look at magazines, watch television, and look through Internet style collections. In the meantime, get started on your home journey in Lees Summit, MO with Inspired Homes.
