Transitional interior design style
Let’s start with one of the most popular styles in the design world today, which is transitional design which is what we like to call the happy medium of interior design styles.
This is the style for you if traditional design is too stuffy, but contemporary is outside your comfort zone.
Transitional is the perfect blend of traditional elegance with contemporary lines and textiles.
Additionally, transitional interiors keep accessories to a minimum, and it’s important to let the furniture and textiles do the talking.
And take advantage of area rugs, pillows and blankets to accessorize.
Perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing aspect of transitional design style is the blend of masculine and feminine.
Curved furniture and finishes such as wood, rattan, steel and lacquer are common.
Furthermore, combining two very different styles creates an interesting and welcoming home design that is perfect for entryways and other rooms.
We got many entrance design ideas from this combination of dark wood and mirrored furniture.
Traditional interior design style
When it comes to identifying different types of interior design, one of the most popular styles is traditional interior design.
Traditional interiors use tables and chairs made of dark wood with ornate detailing.
The traditional design draws its inspiration from England and France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This explains why it is common to find expensive textiles
Such as silk, velvet and linen are used everywhere from upholstery to window treatments.
The fabrics also come in a variety of different patterns, some popular patterns include; Damask, florals, stripes, and plaids, for example.
Moreover, traditional homes also like to create a sense of glamor through crystal chandeliers, and European decor greatly influences traditional interiors.
Most traditional homes have a very neutral color palette with touches of color brought in with oil or floral paintings.
If you’re not a fan of traditional matching, this may not be your cup of tea. Above all, consistency is key, so it is common to find matching furniture sets.
Modern interior design style
We’re here to explain the difference between modern and contemporary — despite how many similarities they have, there are some big signs that you’re looking at a modern interior.
Modern design refers to a specific time period and while contemporary design is constantly evolving, modern interior design came on the radar in the early to mid-20th century.
Due to the mix of Scandinavian, mid-century modern and post-modern design, we have our current definition of modernism.
For example, furniture has clean lines with smooth and smooth surfaces. In particular, metal, chrome and glass are favorite choices among designers.
However, with modern interiors, decor is kept to a minimum, as they tend to eliminate knick-knacks and use art as the main decor.
It’s common to see bold color accents in art and furniture in a mostly neutral space.
