You want to redecorate your house but there's one thing stopping you from achieving you goal.
That depends upon your own personal preferences. What do you like when choosing decorating items? There are design styles which will fit your type of home. If you like the warm and home town feeling then you may be ready for the country style. This is composed of quilts, rough furniture, patriotic, wood, metal and craft look items. There are many styles of country; such as Americana, Swedish, English and French. Choosing one style may be difficult be look at all the styles before finalizing your thoughts.
Some interior design styles are given below:
• Traditional
Traditional is more formal and elegant. Raised panel cabinet doors or clear glass panels separated by thin strips of wood are often seen. Rich wood finishes or painted white wood may be accented with sparkle from brass or brass-tone hardware.
• Mediterranean Interior Design
Mediterranean interior design makes use of the colors of the earth and the sky, including yellow, lavender, peach, orange, salmon, and other hues that reflect the jaunty Mediterranean culture.
Mediterranean interior design also makes use of foliage not just for the landscaping but also as accent pieces for a home's interiors. Houses making use of Mediterranean interior design do not have too many structures that serve no purpose.
• Craftsman Bungalow Houses
Craftsman bungalow housesusually have low-pitched gable roofs with large overhangs and exposed rafters. A craftsman bungalow commonly has a generous front porch with a roof is carried on square, tapered columns.
• French Country Design
French country design is more of a style than a set of specifics. The rural homes of France that provide the basis for French country style are diverse in all but their charm. The kitchen is enormous and comfortable, with exposed, sturdy beams and tiled floors.
• Japanese Interior Design
The stunning beauty of a Japanese home is partially due to its clean, uncluttered look. While Western homes tend to be filled with furniture, textiles, and ornate decoration, a Japanese home seems almost empty in comparison. Much of a Japanese home's beauty comes from it's timber frame carpentry and the natural materials used in construction. Japanese interior design, then, is not about "adding" extra items to the room.
A. The Interior Design Style you Like…is your Style!
In my interior designer practice, I'm often asked by my clients "What's my style?" They're having a hard time identifying their own style, and they turn to me as an expert. I always tell them, "The style you like is your style!"
Your style is a reflection of your own taste, lifestyle, and history.
Your style will undoubtedly evolve as you mature. The style you like when you're in your 50s will probably be different from the style you liked in your 20s. As we change, our tastes change too. We're no longer locked into just one style or another. At one time, it was common to select either a traditional, modern, contemporary, art décor or other defined style. But it's not so cut-and-dried today, because of the many new styles, including eclectic and shabby chic.
In fact, eclectic and shabby chic styles are great examples of styles that were created without any of the old established boundaries. They were born out of the need for new individual looks - a buffet of different styles all mixed together to create new styles.
Of course, all of these styles can make selecting your style more confusing. And sometimes it's just too difficult to choose just one style.
