Bohemian Bohemian style interior design is perfect for non-conformists who shy away from rigid design rules, preferring to use their unique tastes to create their space. Today's Bohemian decor gets away from its maximalist roots and leans towards a more straightforward approach, with minimal elements that contrast with patterned decor to add a pop of color. Rugs, pillows, and furniture made with soft, lush materials and textures create a cozy atmosphere that helps family, friends, and guests feel at home.
Farmhouse Farmhouse decor showcases the simplicity and common-sense functionality of country living. Use a color palette of whites and other soft neutrals and add in weathered wood, distressed decor, and darker elements to create contrast. Consider dark chairs, bold lighting fixtures, and metal or wooden signage to create interiors that showcase antique charm.
Traditional Traditional home decor has a timeless style dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries that exemplifies elegance and comfort. Furniture is crafted from rich woods like mahogany, maple, and cherry and upholstered with luxurious fabrics. Architectural details of built-in cabinetry, crown molding, columns, wood paneling, and coffered ceilings are typical. Lighting is classic in design, with sweeping arms, crystal elements, and dark or brass finishes.
Luxe Luxe mixes sleek design, sophisticated details, gorgeous materials, and statement decor for interiors that exude glamour. The Luxe life is opulent without being over the top. Rich fabrics, glass, and lustrous metallic finishes are balanced throughout the design elements for a refined yet comfortable luxurious look. Gold, chrome, and silver finishes are mixed with crystal in lighting and accessories to offer a light and airy feel, for a space that is ultimately inviting and comfortable.
Rustic Simple, rugged, and full of natural beauty, Rustic home decor features wooden elements, an outdoor-inspired color palette, and an overall organic feel. Stonework, raw and reclaimed wood, and earthy, vibrant colors are used in furniture and accessories that have a handcrafted look and feel. A warm color palette of natural earth tones- greens, browns, and grays - offers an inviting, relaxed style.
Modern Mountain Mountain Modern home style is all about clean lines, an uncluttered interior, and open layouts that let the sweeping views outside command attention. The design emphasis is placed on a neutral color palette of whites, grays, and blues plus native building materials like rough stone and natural wood for texture. Lighting can be oversized, with airy, open designs that are meant to shine without obstructing views from the plentiful windows in the space.
