Traditional
Traditional style home decor is probably the home decor that a lot of us today have seen most in our lives. It’s classic, and timeless. Traditional design is an 18-19th century inspired European style. With this type of style, you will usually find couches that are matching perfectly, and a lot of rich dark wood. Architecture is one of the most prominent things with this design style. If you walk into an older home you may find beautiful crown molded finishes, built in bookshelves, and panels on the wall also known as wainscotting. For example, a traditional living room feels warm, elegant & comfortable.

Bohemian
Popular in the 70s, Bohemian designs are filled with different colours, textures, patterns – you name it! Bold colours and patterns are the most prominent things you’ll notice in any Bohemian styled home or area, however it may be more than just the bold patterns that catch your attention. In almost every Boho inspired space there may be a specific thing that catches your attention- it could be a plant, a painting, or an oddly shaped mirror. Mixed with different elements of surprises and maybe even some humor, this style is for you to be creative and bold with a goal of bringing life into your living space.

Japandi
The perfect blend of Japanese and Scandinavian styles, Japandi design is created using very neutral tones and colour pallets creating a calming environment. This style also uses natural elements such as bamboo plants to emphasize the Japanese’ connection to nature. Wood is usually light and left untreated allowing for more of an authentic feel. Japandi style living rooms are frequented with natural materials. Woods, bamboo, linen, are just a few things that you will see throughout this choice of decor. It creates an inviting, minimal, yet zen feeling.

Rustic
Filled with both charm and character, Rustic design is a great way to bring the outside in. This style consists of a lot of natural woods and exposed brick in unconventional areas. Walking into a Rustic styled home you may immediately notice a ceiling with exposed wooden beams. You will find pot plants and flowers throughout the area. Rustic style’s don’t emphasize having really nice furniture or decor – you’ll often find handmade end tables and maybe even an old chair with sheepskin thrown atop. If you cant help but to love the outdoors, Rustic style may be the perfect interior design blend for you.
