ASIAN
This style uses design elements from Japan, China and other Asian nations. From Japan, simple, natural and minimalistic elements create serene, calm environments. The Chinese influence can create a bold, yet warm, environment by using glossy lacquered furniture and brightly colored accessories.
COASTAL
This comfortable look is inspired by the beach and the ocean. It evokes a casual and relaxed feeling by using light and airy natural fabrics. The color palette features whites, beiges, blues and sea greens. Accessories and accents often have nautical or beach-themed motifs, such as anchors, lighthouses, seashells and coral.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary design often has clean, sleek lines and is marked by solid colors, predominately muted neutrals or bold punches of color in furniture and accessories. Furniture is sleek, lower to the ground and often has metal frames or straight legs with an emphasis on basic shapes and forms.
ECLECTIC
Eclectic design is a mixture of several styles and time periods that are made cohesive through color, pattern, and texture. It is a unique and artistic style built on contrasts that harmonize and complement each other.
INDUSTRIAL CHIC
This trendy design style gets its inspiration from warehouses and urban lofts with its exposed ducts, brick walls and concrete floors. It mixes the old with the new. Windows are usually large and unadorned. The color palette is neutral with splashes of color; and decor with metal finishes is used extensively.
MID CENTURY
MODERN
This look originated in the 1950’s and 60’s and is often associated with the Rat Pack days of Palm Springs and the television show Mad Men. It is a minimalist design characterized by its simplicity, linear shapes and smooth curves. There are few ornamental touches and the materials used are often made of glass and shiny metals. Its color
palette consists of muted neutrals with pops of strong colors such as orange, yellow, red, blue, and green.
MODERN
FARMHOUSE
The Modern Farmhouse style blends rustic, cozy farmhouse charm with clean, contemporary lines - a mix of old-world warmth and modern simplicity. It often uses natural materials such as wood, metal and stone; and includes touches of vintage accents. The color palette is typically neutral (whites, creams, grays, beige), often with black or dark hardware for contrast.
RUSTIC
Rustic elegance is characteristic of the country look. Some country looks are marked by extensive use of wood paneling and soft floral patterns, muted hues and pops of red, blue or pure white accents. Floral, check and striped vintage fabric patterns are standards. Many of the accessories have a handmade, rustic quality, such as pottery, baskets and forged metal. Many of the furnishings have history to them and are bought in antique shops and flea markets.
TRADITIONAL
Elegant, classic styling is the hallmark of traditional design. It often reflects a European look with its use of Queen Anne and Chippendale style furniture pieces that have distinctive curved, cabriole legs, claw feet and wing back chairs. The symmetry of this design style creates a calm, orderly environment. The color palette is typically neutral with the use of rich fabrics that are simple florals, solids, stripes or plaids.
TRANSITIONAL
Transitional design is a meshing of the contemporary and traditional styles. Furniture has the clean, sleek lines of contemporary design that is complemented with the conservative, classic feel of traditional décor and architectural details, such as wainscoting. Colors are neutral; accessories are minimal; and visual interest is created through the use of various textures.
