Over the past weeks, we have tried to define a number of popular design styles, summarized below:
Minimalism: The emphasis on simplicity, clean lines, and functional design continues to be popular, offering a clutter-free and serene environment.
Transitional: Combining traditional elegance with contemporary simplicity, this style offers a balance between classic and modern elements, appealing to many for its versatility.
Scandinavian/Nordic: Known for its minimalism, functionality, and emphasis on light, Scandinavian design remains a popular choice for its clean aesthetics and connection to nature.
Contemporary: With its focus on current design trends, sleek lines, and neutral color palettes, contemporary style maintains its popularity for its modern and sophisticated appeal.
Farmhouse/Rustic: Rustic charm, natural materials, and a cozy feel continue to attract homeowners, especially with farmhouse-inspired elements adding warmth and character.
Industrial: The raw and edgy aesthetics of industrial design, characterized by exposed materials and utilitarian elements, remains a trendy choice for urban dwellings.
Bohemian/Boho Chic: With its eclectic and free-spirited vibe, bohemian style remains popular for those seeking vibrant colors, diverse patterns, and a laid-back atmosphere.
Cottage/Cottagecore: Embracing a nostalgic, rural aesthetic reminiscent of countryside living, cottagecore has gained popularity for its cozy, vintage-inspired charm.
In the end, our homes don't need to comply with any one style or label. We choose, collect, and curate. We evolve in our style and personal expression. We refine, we repurpose, and we create. We move, we live life, and our needs and preferences change.
Now it's YOUR turn...if you had to name your particular style, what would it be? World Traveller, Hollywood Glam, Restaurant/Coffeehouse Cool, Alpine Lodge, Art Gallery, Everyday Versailles, Tropical Oasis, Library Luxe? Or maybe the lesser admired: Thrift-tastic, Pet Palace, First Apartment Vibes, or Baby Gear Chic?
Whatever you call it, make it distinctly you, thoroughly functional, comfortable and nourishing to your spirit...and, above all, call it HOME.
