Home Decor Styling

Do I Need to Know About Interior Design to Style My Home?

There’s no need to become too hung up on design terminology or have an in-depth insight into the world of interior design to decide on your particular style. In fact, you don’t even need to pigeon-hole your style into mid century modern https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/collections/mid-century-modern for example, because there are many occasions when mixing and matching from across different styles works incredibly well. Having a broad understanding of the main home décor styles and defining your own taste will however be beneficial.

Why is it Important to For Me to Know My Home Décor Style?

Basically, you will save money because you’ll know the difference between wanting a particular cushion because it’s pretty and wanting it because it will enhance your sofa and overall room theme. The chances of ending up with lots of lovely items that simply don’t look right together is reduced and your purchasing decisions will become easier. Knowing your own style also helps with charity shop clear-outs; if it doesn’t fit your chosen décor now, it probably never will unless of course your style preferences change dramatically. Having guidelines also helps when new trends emerge; most of us cannot afford to change our furniture every few years but we can pick out some affordable accessories or statement pieces from new collections when we understand a little about our style preferences.

Classic or Traditional Style

Many of us opt for traditional home décor when we live in an older property and vice versa, but there are no hard and fast rules about this. If you like curved lines, bracket feet, beading and generally more elaborate detail, this style is for you. Bear in mind that too much detail can gather dust so if you’re of practical mind or dislike housework, it might be best not to opt for the fussiest pieces!

Contemporary Style

The clean, often minimalist lines of contemporary home décor styling cut across many recent design movements such as the Scandinavian style. The sleek, simple appearance can be either formal or informal but it is never fussy and there is hardly any intricate detail or carving.

Rustic Style

This style of home décor has a slightly unfinished look about it, often including exposed brickwork or beams. There’s also lots of texture produced by wood, stone or metal whether that be in the walls, floor or furniture. The look can lean towards urban industrial or country, depending on how it is furnished and accessorised.

Freestanding Kitchen Ideas

The basic components of freestanding kitchens have all made, or are in the process of making, a comeback. Larder cupboards, also known as pantries; dressers; kitchen islands and butchers blocks are either used as the main components of a kitchen or mixed and matched with existing fitted units.

You can add one or more freestanding units to your kitchen to complement or contrast with any existing units. 1.
