When it comes to designing
a space whether it is a single room or a whole entire house, the common element
to consider before beginning any design project is to establish your style of
design. Since there are several styles of design it may be difficult to decide
what your own unique style is without feeling overwhelmed. Design styles are
born out of previous styles and are evolving into distinct types of design as
time passes. The below style guides are intended to help you achieve your
vision of style and to define what your likes and dislikes are while achieving
your dream room or your entire home!
Below are a few styles
of design that I enjoyed learning about....enjoy!
Art Deco | classically retro. Combining elements of antique culture with
vibes from the 1920s and 1930s.
Arts & Crafts | a period style. A legacy that continues with
the ongoing popularity of Mission Style. Crafted with elements of simple
construction creating a warm look and feel.
Classical | a very neat style that speaks a state of calm. Inspired by the
art and architecture of the Greek & Roman empires. With this style, visual
balance is key.
Contemporary | refreshing and clean. A very polished and fashionable look that
displays a practical style.
Rustic
| unrefined and stands the test of time. A calm and warm look that will
envelope you in a cozy embrace.
Southwestern | a lived in style. Influenced by Native American and Spanish design.
Traditional | luxurious and attractive. Emphasizing finely crafted details
with beautiful patterned fabrics. Said to be a “top decorating style”.
Have a great week!
