What is Your Interior Design Style?

What is Your Interior Design Style?

For interior designers, creating beautiful interiors is broken down like a science…


It’s our job to find the perfect balance between your personality, the layout of your home, what the market has to offer, custom pieces we can make with a little elbow grease, and how all of these are going to come together to create the perfect space.
The most unique and eye-catching designs come from a perfectly executed collaboration of all those things, but the most important element is always YOU. It’s simple – what design elements make you happy? What can I incorporate that is going to make you excited every time you walk into your home?
The first step is figuring out your design style. Here is a breakdown of some of the most popular.
Modern
What is it? A modern space is sleek and clutter free. Chaos be gone! Modern designs primarily focus on function and organization.
Design Elements: Chrome, glass, concrete, geometric shapes, open space and simple edges and curves. Instead of trinkets, modern spaces accentuate art and artfully placed accent colors.

Bohemian
What is it?  A bohemian interior is artistic, eclectic and avant-garde. Say no to minimalism Perfect for those who are a bit unconventional and fancy-free. If you and your local thrift store owner are on a first name basis, you may be a bohemian!
Design Elements: Mixed patterns and textures, rugs, lanterns and accessories. Canopies and Moroccan inspired accessories work beautifully in bohemian spaces. Although boho spaces don’t follow conventional rules, a great designer can add some artistic vision to avoid design chaos!


Traditional

What is it? Traditional interior designs are about simple elegance, comfort and a luxurious feel.  It’s all about giving your home that “homey” feel.
Design Elements: Carved moldings, woodwork, graceful curves, and sturdy furniture. Traditional homes are “warm”. Large, comfy furniture is often used. Traditional interiors bring back the most endearing designs of the old-world.  
Transitional
What is it? Transitional design takes key elements from both traditional and modern interior design – a happy medium, so to speak.  Classically contemporary!
Design Elements: The cool thing about transitional design is you can take elements from both modern and traditional styles and blend them together. Warm neutrals, comfortable but updated furniture, and fun textures to break up the muted tones. 
Industrial
What it is? San Francisco hipsters unite! Industrial style has hit a high in recent years. Utilitarian, unique and eye-catching. This design style is inspired by manufacturing, mechanics and raw, unfinished interiors.
Design Elements: Exposed brick walls and pipes, urban furniture and metal lighting make up the industrial style. Industrial homes are often no-fuss and void of too many patterns to better accentuate the unique space.
What’s your design style?
Stay Inspired.
