This is not a complete list of areas used in the home interior. Having considered the catalog, which any designer certainly has, you can familiarize yourself with the other options.

Applicable Materials

To decorate the home space, all naturally occurring and artificially produced materials are used - from wood and granite to metal and plastic. Such materials may be:
  • textiles and ceramics as Provencal-style decor materials;
  • chrome and steel surfaces, quite often used in the "loft" style;

Ethnic design

Among the styles, there are options that arose on the basis of national characteristics. Among them stand out:
  • American. The interior is concise and functional, with a predominance of natural shades, as well as the lack of clear boundaries in space. Quite often, furniture is located in the center of the room;
  • English. To create it use furniture made from natural materials, a palette of warm colors, mahogany for the manufacture of skirting boards and cornices, dark wallpaper, as well as interior items (figurines, small pillows, paintings);
  • Japanese. Among the materials used, they prefer rattan, bamboo, gunny, as for color preferences - cherry, brown-pink shades. Low furniture, fitted wardrobes, the use of screens are also indispensable elements of style;
  • Scandinavian. It features white walls, wooden, sometimes wicker furniture, enhanced lighting, light curtains;
  • African. In general, a restrained style with the presence of bright details, the same imitations under the skins of animals, masks, thematic figurines. Yellow, terracotta, brown tones prevail.
Almost every nationality has its own style, for the creation of which were the features of culture and tradition.

Distinctive features

Each style has its own differences. The determining factors are:
  • color shades. Features of design decisions can be traced by making a comparison between the Oriental and French styles. For the first option, bright shades are selected, the second type is drawn in pastel colors.
  • location and amount of furniture.If designers recommend using classic and American styles in large apartments and country houses, then “minimalism” is appropriate for small spaces due to the small amount of furniture.
  • materials used. While glossy gloss, mirrored surfaces, chrome-plated details are the constituent elements for the high-tech style, the country style is made exclusively by natural materials (wood, stone, clay, reed).
A variety of styles appears in all its beauty and unlimited possibilities of design. The main thing is to choose exactly the direction that will allow you to feel comfortable and harmonious.
