With an infinite supply of interior design styles to consider, you’ll have no problem finding the inspiration to revamp your home. Such an abundance of styles and looks can be overwhelming and it may be difficult to find furniture that fits in with the vision you have for your home. Rather than furnishing your home with pieces from an obscure style, choose one of the many interior designs that have an arsenal of furniture that can see your ideal home come into being.
Shabby Chic
This decorative style utilises distressed pieces of furniture to give your place the look of a vintage, weathered English styled lodge. Furniture isn’t modern, rather it has a regal yet frivolous feel that has lasted the ages while retaining its fresh and breezy aura. Pastels such as pink, green, and other light yet gently muted colours qualify as shabby chic. Often, our favourite shabby chic furniture will be decorated with unassuming floral patterns that provide these worn pieces with their majestic flair.
Industrial
This trendy style combines rustic and modern elements to create a style reminiscent of the turn of the century industrial age. Think distressed and muted woods that maintain their original colour and tone. Metals and exposed brick are also elements that wouldn’t be out of place within an industrial design context.
Mid-Century Modern
Another style defined by its relation to a time period, mid-century modern is characterised by minimalism and natural shapes. Materials like moulded plastic, plywood, and aluminium are commonly used in non-obtrusive ways with the use of mild colours and textures. To get a better idea of what your home would look like with this new style in place, have a peek at the show, Mad Men. Here you’ll see organic and inorganic elements blended to perfection.
Nautical
Pretty much every beach house has the trappings of the nautical style. Coastal décor such as fishnets, seashells, and model sailboats are to be expected. White and blue are the prevailing colours within this type of design. Unfinished wood is used for tables and chairs, while in living rooms you’ll usually find puffy white sofas that reflect the colours of sandy coastal shores.
