Here are three of the more popular interior design styles…
TRANSITIONAL
Let’s start with one of the most popular styles in the design world today. Transitional design is oftened referred to as the happy medium of interior design styles. This is the style for you if traditional design is too stuffy, but contemporary is too out of your comfort zone. It’s the perfect mix of traditional elegance with contemporary lines and textiles. Transitional interiors keep accessories to a minimum. It’s important to let the furniture and the textiles do the talking. But do take advantage of rugs and artworks to accessories.
GLAMOUR
Perfect for homeowners who enjoy making a statement. This style tends to be luxurious – think plush, velvet furnishings. Often referred to as “Hollywood Glam”, this opulent look can be as over-the-top and flamboyant as you want it to be. Made up of a mix of art deco and mid-century modern, this style has been popular in California since the mid-twentieth century and dates all the way back to Hollywood’s golden age in the 1930s.
High contrast colour combinations are a popular choice for color schemes. In addition, over the top chandeliers paired with high gloss or mirrored furniture is also a common combination. The contrast gives off a certain high-glamour luxurious vibe.
This design style manages to be sexy, yet sophisticated, at the same time and has an ever-growing fan base.
CONTEMPORARY
The modernist movement has heavily influenced contemporary style in furniture design. Utilising simplistic design to create items that are both visually compelling and functionally considered. Looking at interior design styles throughout history, contemporary interior design is the one style that is always evolving and will most likely continue to change over the course of the twenty-first century. This unique interior design style borrows from various time periods, which creates an environment fit to last a lifetime.
And finally…
Choosing an interior design style that reflects your taste and personality may seem daunting, but a basic understanding of design fundamentals and styles can be a great help in deciding your personal design ideals. The ability to identify different interior design genres will help to conjure up inspirational visions of your future home and provide a framework to build your personal aesthetic.
