Interior Design Styles
Interior design is a process of illuminating
and accentuating interior surfaces, including but not limited
to window treatments, upholstery, furniture, walls and floor
coverings. There are hundreds of varieties of interior surface
treatments, most of which can be grouped into unique styles.
Popular interior design styles include
your Traditional/Classic Design, Country Style, Contemporary
Style, and Eclectic Style. You also have your Colonial and
Victorian styles as well as Southwestern and Mediterranean
styles. Such styles mimic interior treatments from their
unique worldly places.
Traditional/Classic Designs are timeless
styles. Rich colors, luxurious fabrics, elegant wood finishes,
and brass are common components of the Traditional Design.
It is considered to be a more formal design approach.
Country Styles can be divided into American
Country, French Country and English Country. All three offer
an overall feeling of serenity. Vintage antiques, simple
cabinetry, a fireplace, and charismatic accessories are
used to create a relaxed, cozy environment.
Contemporary Styles offer a sleek modern
appeal. Angular and geometric lines are used to create a
spacious, sparkling look. Color schemes are commonly used
with contemporary styles. Other modern styles include the
High Tech Designs which incorporate stainless steel, chrome,
and black accents.
Eclectic Styles integrate a variety of
styles to form a fresh, layered appeal. Both old and new
styles, as well as an array of colors, fabrics and textures
can be used to create this style. Each room can have its
own unique feel and identity.
