Decorating styles to decorate your home


Bohemian style ​To decorate in this style, you must use bright and vibrant colors (fuchsia, turquoise, white, red or magenta), whether on the walls, sofas or decorative objects.
Old furniture can be used and brought back to life. Fill the space with cushions, decorative items, blankets, animal-patterned rugs, candles and candle holders. Furniture and decorative accessories must contain history and very good memories of the moments lived, which is why photographs and frames cannot be missing.

Scandinavian style

​This style of interior design consists of a simple, basic and comfortable environment. Decorative objects referring to natural landscapes (lakes, mountains and forests) are a key element. Straight, stylish furniture and natural lighting are essential, as is keeping the space free of excess. Use organic and natural materials (leather and metal), as well as ceramics and glass. Fur blankets are items that really characterize this style.

Colorful style

​In this style of interior decoration, the most chosen colors are strong and vibrant colors (petroleum blue, yellow, orange or fuchsia), and these must be in relationship with each other. Think about the expression you want to put in the space, because if you “put” a bunch of things in different colors, it might not look so good. Choose to color the walls of the room to make them stand out more. A sofa in a strong color also works well. Invest in points of light and color (colorful lamps, paintings, rugs, flowers and cushions) as they help to form a fun composition. Also paint the windows in bright colors.

Modern or Mid-Century Style

​The modern decoration style is a minimalist design style, with straight, fluid and organic lines. Use very practical mahogany-colored wooden furniture, as well as sofas and armchairs. Look for brown, white and cream tones and they can be applied to furniture, walls or decorative items. Use plants, clocks and pictures as well as shelves built into the wall, as they are very practical. This decorating style is not only about furniture, but also about architectural style, interior design, product design and graphic design.

Mid-century or modern decor

Classic style

This decoration appears accompanied by modern and contemporary elements. Mahogany, walnut or cherry furniture is essential, especially tables with round or rectangular tops. Colors should be sober and well defined, and can be mixed with neutral and light tones. For mirrors with frames, paintings, handles and decorative objects, opt for metals (gold, bronze).

​Sofas, armchairs, chairs, curtains and bedding can have smooth, textured or striped fabrics, and armchairs and chairs are stylish and upholstered. The rugs are printed, with floral or plain patterns. Chandeliers, crystal, glass or candle-type pendants, lamp-type sconces and pendants, lampshades, chandeliers and candles make the atmosphere cozy.

Glamor style

​The Glam or Glamorous style is a decoration style full of sparkle, refinement and sophistication. This is punctuated with imposing furniture, entirely glass tables, coffee tables with mirrors, powerful chandeliers, numerous decorative objects, crystal pieces, beautiful curtains and colors like black, white, gray, pastel tones, with touches of gold, silver or copper. Anything that reflects sophistication and sparkle goes well in this type of environment, so don’t limit yourself to the traditional.

Moroccan style

A good Moroccan style decoration should include a rug laid out on the floor, cushions and blankets, as well as mirrors, lamps, lanterns, hand-made metal lamps and traditional brass trays, teapots and glass cups. Use and overuse bright and intense colors (orange, red, pink, brown). Ethnic print wallpaper is also perfect for this style of decoration. Also bet on exotic designer furniture as well as transparent Moroccan-style curtains.

Rustic or country style

In Rustic or Country decoration, the most used material is wood, used in furniture and on the floor. Leave the wall plain with neutral paint and the furniture in earthy tones (brown, beige, fendi and pearl). The sofas are large, comfortable and covered in patchwork cushions and blankets, and the presence of rocking and wicker chairs is also common. Decorate the space with thin curtains, plants, floral arrangements and ceramic vases, but don’t mix too many colors and objects.

Minimalist style

​The golden rule of this style of decoration is organization. Minimalist interior designs are based on simplicity, where straight lines and geometric patterns predominate, which means that windows, plinths and plinths should be completely smooth. Colors should be basic and natural (white, black, blue, beige). Furniture should be chosen so as not to obstruct the free space of the room. Placing a plant, a vase with tree branches, in the corner of the room brings fresh air and life to your room.

Tropical style

In this type of interior design, warm and strong colors are used (red, orange and yellow), green and earth tones, which can be combined with fauna and flora motifs, blue and neutral tones (ivory, beige, coffee brown) and more toasty yellows, but it is possible to explore other shapes, textures and colors. Living room furniture should be large and natural in color. The more natural light the better, as well as good ventilation. Animal designs are also very common. Also place large plants, which are very Amazonian forest style. Pay attention to patterned pillows, rugs and lamps made from natural materials.

Oriental style

Oriental style decoration is influenced by several countries. If you want Chinese-style decoration, opt for colorful fabrics on the sofa and armchairs, objects from Chinese culture and colors like red, gold and black. If you prefer Japanese style, choose prints with less bright colors, traditional Japanese elements (tatami, birds, fans, futons) and materials like wood, bamboo, cold, etc. On the other hand, if you prefer Thai and Indonesian style, opt for warm colors, furniture and objects made of wood and natural fibers (bamboo, rattan, straw, etc.)

Style Romantic

​This interior design style is marked by curved lines, rounded legs and handcrafted pieces, with eye-catching details that create an intimate environment. Materials like iron, light wood or painted in light colors are very important in this style. Neutral or pastel tones are the colors of choice. This style requires fine, quilted fabrics. Rugs should be discreet as a simple floor is preferable. The sofas are comfortable and flanked by cozy throws and cushions. Floral pillows, bedspreads and furniture with classic Renaissance motifs are the elements that characterize this style of interior decoration.
