Interior Styles - Part Two

This is the continuation of the first post which discusses the most popular interior design styles.

Scandinavian

Scandinavian style can be considered to be a minimalist take on Mid-century modern. It’s characterised through gentle curves, playful accent colours, and a balance of synthetic and organic materials. It’s all about simplicity, function, nature and balance. A great majority of Scandinavian interiors use white with grey tones as the foundation colours with wooden accents.

Bohemian

This style is great for those who are adventurous and free spirited in their everyday life. It consists of rich patterns and fabrics, vibrant colours, red and purple accents and layering of lots of fabrics such as blankets, throws and pillows. Most Boho furniture is inspired by Moroccan and tribal design which is rich in colour and its materials.

Shabby Chic

Shabby chic is about bringing vintage elements into your home and embracing their distressed look. Most furniture used in this style is sanded down for a distressed and aging appearance which is desirable by many shabby chic homeowners. A shabby chic home should be soft and luxurious through the use of textiles and décor. It typically consists of whites, creams and pastels.

Eclectic

This style is all about borrowing ideas from other styles, periods and trends and carefully combining them for a well curated interior. It’s all about having fun and breaking rules to create an interior of all your favourite design aspects. Eclectic homes are often defined through patterns, colours, textures and combination of the old with new. However, you do have to be careful to maintain a balance and make sure that all aspects of your design all work together.
