What's Your Interior Design Style?

 

If you can redecorate your room, what kind of interior design styles would you like? Modern, farmhouse, or industrial? We’re covering 8 interior design styles that are popular in modern homes here. In reality, practitioners blend different elements from several decorating styles together, but it’s crucial to identify the core aspects of each one.

Modern

Modern interior design came out in the early to mid 20th century. Modern furniture has clean lines with smooth, sleek surfaces. With modern interiors, the decor is kept minimal. They tend to ditch the knick-knacks and use art as the main decor. It's common to see bold colorful accents in art and furniture in a mostly neutral space. You can have an orange sofa or a blue accent chair to highlight your living room, which is a perfect solution to update your space and impress your guests.

Contemporary 

Though people often tend to confuse modern interior design styles with contemporary interior design, there are some differences between the two that makes them unique in and of themselves.

Modern design refers to a specific period, while contemporary design is ever-evolving. Contemporary interior design enjoys more freedom, but modern style shows around the square and graphic lines. In addition, neutral color palettes are the most common for contemporary design with textured fabrics to create interest.

Minimalist 

Minimalist decorating style is inspired by Japanese design and concentrates on the principle that less is more. Patterns and textures are necessary. You’ll find functional furniture is the essential design element due to the less is more philosophy. Storage is also important in minimalist interior design. For this reason, furniture often doubles as hidden storage. For example, a coffee table features a lift-top to reveal storage or a nesting coffee table set comes with rotating drawers to save space and create flexible use.

Industrial 

As the name evokes an urban vibe with warehouse and factory elements thrown in the mix, it should come as no surprise that industrial interior design lends a clean, masculine, and minimal spirit to any room. But we wouldn’t recommend going industrial when considering the best interior design styles for a small house, because this is one aesthetic that calls for plenty of breathing room to take the oversized machinery-inspired elements.

 

However, you can inject small doses of industrial interior design styles, such as completing the living room with a raw metal decorative bookshelf or side table.

Modern Farmhouse 

Modern farmhouse style evokes feelings of warmth and comfort. It's traditional without being fussy, classic without being like a museum, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to put your feet up and stay for a while.

Modern farmhouse style is characterized by natural textures and materials like wood or galvanized steel. Natural wood accents are a must-have for any farmhouse style home, it can be a wood TV stand or exposed beams on the ceiling.

Scandinavian 

Increasingly popular, Scandinavian interior design styles emphasize a clean and serene simplicity that’s universal in appeal. Fully functional and minimal, Scandinavian decor highlights organic shapes with subtle interest, tonal textural plays, and a relaxed appeal in all-white spaces with gray undertones. Hints of color are brought in via art and a single textile such as a small throw or rug.

Bohemian 

One of the most timeless and endlessly popular interior design styles out there, bohemian decor represents care and fuss-free freedom that’s unquestionably heady and intoxicating. When we compare different design styles, Bohemian is one of the few where the order isn’t necessary. Mixing patterns and colors is encouraged.

We love that Bohemian style interiors use things in unconventional ways. Try this fresh living room idea: hanging a colorful painting on the wall for a fresh unique take on artwork.

Mid-Century Modern 

Mid-century interior design marks an architectural and artistic era that spanned from the 1930s to the 1960s. It also forms part of the ultimate aesthetic cleanse, modern design. Those who have a deep appreciation for authentic vintage styling will enjoy such an interior even more.

The furniture also adapts well to even the smallest of rooms, while practicality and durability make them perfect for families. For example, a small vintage table lamp, or an elegant console table would be a great element to a mid-century living room.
