  Modern Farmhouse-inista!

  Image Source

  Modern Farmhouse Style combines the sleek clean lines of contemporary design with the cozy farmhouse aesthetic to create a uniquely fresh take on the country living inspired style. Modern farmhouse style is known for its warmth and simplicity, characterized by rustic natural textures and materials like raw, distressed or unfinished wood, stone, or galvanized steel. Some architectural details might include are features like vaulted ceilings adorned with wood beams or reclaimed wood floors. Furnishings and decor can be a mix of modern clean lined pieces and a mix of vintage or antique finds. A more feminine version of the Modern Farmhouse style could be referred to as "Shabby Chic."

  You like to live...the Glamorous Life!

  Image Source

  Glam interior design is vastly different from styles like country or shabby chic, yet it steals liberally from art deco, mid-century modern, and even industrial styles (just to name a few). It gives a home an ultra-elegant glow, whether you use luxe, high-end pieces dripping with crystals or wildly eccentric feathers straight off a Vegas showgirl. That’s the beauty of glamorous interiors: They’re easily tailored to fit various styles, from dramatic rockstar to old-world diva. Find more design tips on the Carla Bast Design blog.

  Modern Love! 

  Image Source

  The word “modern” is one of the most misused phrases in decorating/design. Often confused with contemporary style, today’s modern style is actually based on a design movement that was birthed around the turn of the 20th century. Read on ... The modern style movement continued to grow in popularity throughout the first half of the century, and later derivatives of this style are known as Mid-Century Modern or Postmodern. With roots in German and Scandinavian architecture and design, the modern style is simple and unadorned. Contemporary, on the other hand, is not born out of a certain era. It changes as time evolves, and can incorporate modern elements. For example, in a few more decades, a new style will be called contemporary because it is what is in style. Modern style furnishings and decor celebrate natural materials, neutral or earthy colors and the elimination of unnecessary detailing. Contemporary furnishings have more distinctive forms and often can include curved furnishings. This philosophy behind the modern style makes it a perfect decorating choice for those who like simple, uncluttered spaces with clean lines and a lack of fussy adornments.

  Transitional Style is your jam.

  Image Source

  As the name probably suggests, transitional design came about by combining two opposite styles. It’s sometimes referred to as “an updated take on the classics” because it acts as a middle ground between the best elements of traditional and contemporary looks. On the one hand, you have the warmth, comfort and balance that comes from a traditional aesthetic. Rather than being bogged down by the ornate details that can sometimes make traditional spaces feel outdated, transitional looks borrow the clean lines and simplistic nature that defines contemporary design. At it’s best, this style feels timeless with a modern twist. Because there is a mix of both traditional and contemporary design, furniture can feature straight and sophisticated lines, or have rounded lines with ornate carvings. Pieces like chairs, tables and sofas balance both masculine and feminine attributes to create a welcoming ambiance. For the most part, however, furniture has much less ornamentation than what’s found in most traditional styles. Furniture is upholstered with graphic patterns and textured materials like creamy white cotton, smooth leather and corduroy. Lighting is sleek, much like couches, tables and chairs. Wall sconces, pendants and table lamps are equipped with straight lines with a modern feel. Colors are similar to traditional design – you’ll see dark browns, taupes, tans and creamy whites.

  Mid-Century Modern  

  Image Source

  Mid-century modern is a throwback to the design style of the mid-1900s—primarily the 1950s and 60s. There’s a retro nostalgia present in Mid-Century Modern Design, and also some elements of minimalism. Functionality or “fussy-free” was the main theme for Mid-century design. It emphasis on pared-down forms, natural or organic shapes such as “egg-shaped” chair, easy-to-use contemporary designs and simple fabrications. The mid-century style takes advantage of natural elements in a room from exposed beams to wood panels, to untouched brick walls and bringing the outdoors in with a seamless transition from interior to exterior.

  Traditional Style

  Image Source

  When it comes to defining different interior design styles one of the most well-known styles is the traditional interior design style. It's a timeless style taking cues from the 18th and 19th century England and France, incorporating classic art, antiques, and pieces with history. It’s common to find expensive textiles like silk, velvet, and linen used everywhere from upholstery to window treatments in traditional spaces. Fabrics feature a variety of different patterns such as damask, florals, stripes, and plaids. Traditional homes also like to bring in a sense of glam with crystal chandeliers. In the traditional design, dark, rich jewel tones are most commonly used, but also muted earthy tones. Think red, brown, green, and plenty of dark wood. Traditional style homes are characterized by the use of natural materials, and decorative details such as raised panel cabinets and crown molding. Find more tips on the Carla Bast Design blog.
