There are thousands of decorating themes used throughout the world, but only a handful have found their place in the course of our part of the world. Here are the ones you want to know aboutThe styles of certain geographical areas are popular because they make an adjustment to Nice with our own region or because of an enviable atmosphere we would like to take for ourselves. Although the styles of home decor are as different as the people who are decorating. Although the styles vary from region to region ', it is a very basic description of certain terms of decorating style.
Primitive
Belonging to or characteristic of an early stage of development, crude and rudimentary. Articles in this category would include old wooden hay rakes, rag dolls antique hand, and any other antique handmade. It's a style I particularly like: if I buy a piece early, I think that hands were designed with love, and in the hands of others that it was used for all it was intended . These things are not perfect or uniform, they are damaged or stained.
Victoria
Characterized by rich brocades and velvets, both in furniture, walls and window dressings. Mauve, burgundy, rich blues and greens, with lace and fringe compliment Victorian furnishings. Porcelain dolls, wicker, old shoes, button up, hats and hat boxes, buttons and dried flowers are wonderful accent pieces to a Victorian decor.
Country:
While the country is a pretty general term, it actually represents a category of pieces
a little more than primitive. Such as cotton quilts antique Hoosier cabinets, stoneware bowls, wooden boxes and metal enamel dovetail. Wood and cotton fabrics seem to prevail in the country decorating.
French Country:
Yellow, blue, rooster collection, the tiles on the floor and walls. When applied to the interior generally means a mix between elegant and rustic. Faded or whitewashed wood, blue, pink and yellow and printed fabrics with small flowers, sunflowers in a pitcher dripware. These elements constitute French Country.
Cottage:
This is an interesting variety of pastel colors like pink, pale green, peaches and blues in a floral fabrics or fruit motifs. flowers painted wicker, and certainly chalet style and herbs
. I do not think it came from people who had large houses in the city and went to their small country cottage for the summer. Usually located near water, some marine components should also be present such as shells and stones. Lightly covered Windows, using flowing fabrics bring a sense Cottage.
Contemporary
It is a style in which forms are bold and bright, while using a light colored background. Use neutral colors for walls and furniture, but add bright splashes of color in accessories. Colors should be included such as fuchsia, deep purple and teal. Summaries and vinyl compliment contemporary décor.
Eclectic:
It's a style that most people use. It is a combination of several styl
es. Just choose your favorite pieces combine in a very personal style.
Art Deco:
This term comes from the design of the 20s, 30s and early 40s. The lines were elegant, simple and angular. The bright colors were predominant. Neon, chrome and other metal furniture, plastic, bakelite and marquetry furniture are popular for the Art Deco period.
Rustic
This is the type of log cabin decor. Made from tree branches and trunks, rustic furniture is very popular. Red, green and black to be displayed in tiles with the look. When I think I think of rustic bearskin rug, old snowshoes on the wall, and other tools former lumberjack and oil lamps. When decorating in a rustic style, think cabin in the woods.
Whimsical:
Light and fantasy. Bright colors and unusual patterns. Such as fish pink spotted a wooden chair painted in many different colors and with several different models. I consider Mary Engelbreit whimsical drawings. Her use of colors and patterns on one piece are definitelyWhimsical and imaginative.
Traditional:
This style has a classic elegance, created with light, natural colors such as gray, off white and beige with dark blue, green and burgundy. Flowers, stripes, plaids and Damask fabrics are noted. With this style, I see crystal chandeliers, porcelain, framed landscapes and other more elegant pieces.
Mediterranean
Use colors such as terracotta, warm yellows and other earth tones. distressed finishes and simple patterns best suited this style. Blue and gold accents will really set this style off. Accent pieces here should include pieces of pottery and aquatic.
Modern-futuristic research, concrete, stone, metal and glass. High Tech comes to mind when you think about this type of decoration. Lots of open space, bright light, and rows of squares. The main colors are at the base and fresh, with touches of bright colors. Abstract works combine well with the decor and the usual hand-blown glass pieces.
Oriental
East is the most decorated sparsely furnished with dark wooden pieces standing out against light walls. The simplicity, balance and practicality are the words used to describe oriental setting. There is a colorful accessories that can be used to supplement course beautiful Oriental rugs, jade, ivory, coral and onyx pieces, elephants and dragons, silk kimono, fans, teak and parts lacquered wood, tea and delicate silk prints.
Spanish
stucco walls, bright colors like red, orange and gold, heavy, dark furnishings, the use of wrought iron accessories. Other pieces focus guitars, castanets, lace, combs Spanish, Bolero hats, blankets and Spanish.
Southwest:
Think desert, where the thought of this style. Adobe, leather, bright colors like orange, maroon, purple, turquoise blue light, rustic furniture blends well with this style too. Remember to include silver items, Lasso, cactus and maybe even a saddle.
Classic
Inspired by ancient Greece. Use the pillars and columns in both interior and furniture designs. mahogany, inlaid with brass, marble tabletops, tapestries and crystal chandeliers will be wonderful accents here.
Shabby Chic
In all honesty, this must be the way my house is decorated. We are talking about a mixture of flea market finds, refurbished to meet the new owner. Comfortable, welcoming, with character, are a few words to describe this new / old style of decoration. Taken comfortable chairs, but covered with a faded old quilt, old trunks again in coffee tables, magazine racks and use of lace worn hanging like a curtain.
