How To Discover Your Interior Design Style

 

Hi darlings, today`s post is all about interior design styles and how to discover yours the easy way. 

Sometimes it is very difficult to determinate what`s your style and how to chose things for your home that will show it off the best possible way. So, today I`m choosing just the 7 most popular interior design styles at the moment and hope you`ll recognize which one represents you. If you don`t have a clue which one is yours, it is a good idea to look around your home and find out things and decor you love. They most likely represents one of the styles which will definitely help. Another great idea is to go over on Pinterest, create a new board and pin all the things you like. You can check it later and see if anything is ripeting, like colors, furniture, decor etc.

Now back on the most popular styles! Here they are:

1. BOHEMIAN

It`s a colorful and carefree style. To look absolutely perfect, the goal is to make it imperfect - a beautiful, purposely mess. That can be achieved by adding a rich colors and natural fibers (jute, linen, burlap), poufs with a lot of embellishments (like tassels and beads), mixing and layering different rugs, adding decorative pieces from around the world and, of course a colorful pillows and lots of plants everywhere.

2.MID-CENTURY MODERN

It`s a style with a lots of neutrals, minimalist silhouettes and natural materials like wood and linen. Furniture often has a geometric lines and has a vibe of a specific time period which is around 1950. Furniture is very functional, but often on a smaller scale and floor plans are open and airy. This style places a big focus on a lighting, very modern, elegant and sleek, especially on floor and side table lamps.

3. CONTEMPORARY

This style is known as style with lots of neutrals and simple furniture in natural fabrics like linen or silk. To bring some interest in a rather simple picture, it`s the best to use color block method with a rugs or art on the walls. Materials to use are stone, glass or metal, lots of geometric patterns, modern accessories and white walls.

4. FARMHOUSE

Very popular these days is a farmhouse style with a lot of character and charm. Practical and handy, but sophisticated, this style become extremely popular after the HGTV`s Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines. It combines vintage finds with newer pieces, iron and wood and, of course, shiplap. This style is ideal if you like a DIY projects or upcycling the old pieces. For accessorise use vintage boxes, pitchers, vintage wooden signs and galvanized dekor.

5. MINIMALISM

Also very popular these day, this style takes modern one step further. If you like very clean space without a lot of stuff and embellishments all over the place, them minimalism is most likely your style. Minimalist have only the furniture and accessories they absolutely need and really appreciate the open and clutter free space. For decoration use the one big piece of art or use a functional pieces, like lamps. Color palette is gray, pastels and different shades of white.

This style is very calm and warm and inviting. Lots of wood, peaches, greens, and gold or bronze are the color palette to go. Floral or paisley patterns are very popular, but also striped and plaid fabrics. These patterned fabrics are very often on drapes or pillows or even rugs. Furniture are regal and heavy with lots of curves or embellishments on the wood, and often slipcovered. This style also features a big libraries, crystal chandeliers, mirrors, sconces and intricate design on doors, windows or staircases.

7. COASTAL

For those who can`t live without a beach and want to bring it to the home, their style is most definitely coastal. Space is light and airy with a lot of send shades, bright white and blue, often in striped form. Fabrics are natural, like linen or seagrass, wicker and wood details are a must. Accessories are beach related, like sea shells, rope, boats, navigational maps etc. Space is always light and bright, with a big windows and shear curtains.

Spring Home Tour 2017

Hi everyone! After a week of colder temps, rain and cloudy skies, the sun came out and Spring finally arrived! Today I’m sharing with you my Spring Living Room Tour!

Zdravo svima! Posle nedelja hladnog, kišovitog vremena i oblačnog neba, sunce se napokon pojavilo i Proleće je i zvanično stiglo! Danas vas vodim u prolećnu šetnju kroz naš dnevni boravak!

In our house spring is all about freshness. Since the beginning of the year, I have been in de-cluttering/organization/cleaning overload. [You can catch my recent spring/organization ideas HERE, HERE and HERE.] 

Za mene, proleće je simbol za novi početak. Poslednjih par meseci se trudim da što više raščištim/organizujem/očistim. [Moje nedavne postove na prolećne i teme organizacije prostora možete pogledati OVDE, OVDE i OVDE.] 

Most of my spring decor was brought in through flowers and plants… ok, ok, and a few new DIY shibory tie dye pillows, too! [You can check tutorial HERE]. I also added a white tassel ribbon on the pillows to spruce them up. I love how my new pillows pop against our white couch. During this time of year, I really crave a little color.

Većina mog prolećnog dekora je zato sveže cveće i biljke... dobro, de, i nekoliko novih "uradi sam" jastučića obojenih shibori tehnikom! [Tutorial možete pogledati OVDE]. Jastučiće sam dodatno ukrasila belom pom pom trakom i zaista mi se dopada kontrast plavih jastučića naspram naše bele sofe! Kad krene proleće, žudim za malo više boje u prostoru.

In the spring and summer, my favorite filler is moss. You can add it to bowls, apothecary jars or a cloche. Such an easy and inexpensive way to bring in some texture from the outside. As you can see, I filled a cloche with painted Easter eggs and moss for a quick and easy display. 

Tokom proleća i leta, mahovina je jedan od mojih omiljenih materijala za popunjavanje činija, vaza ili ukrasnih zvona. Jednostavan i jeftin način da unesete dah prirode u svoj prostor. Ja sam je koristila da napunim ukrasno zvono, dodala sam Uskršnja jaja i dobila brzu i laku dekoraciju. 

I added some extra green to this room, like this pretty succulent, and my Fiddle Leaf Fig tree. I have this tree for two years and some leafs are not looking good, but recently he has six new leaves, so fingers crossed he`ll be better now.

Dodala sam i malo više zelenila u sobu, čuvarkuću i moj omiljeni Fikus - Lirasti smokavac. Imam ga već dve godine i neki listovi ne izgledaju baš najbolje... Nedavno je olistao sa šest novih listova, pa se nadam da će od sada bolje napredovati.

The biggest change to my living room is the punch of blue brought in through my new pillows, light throw and vases. I`we been collecting blue and white vases for a few years now, and I simply adore them! 

Najveća promena u dnevnom boravku je zapravo puno plave boje koju sam unela kroz nove jastučiće, prekrivač i vaze. Ove plavo-bele vaze stvarno obožavam i sakupljam ih već par godina!

Remember how I told you moving your furniture is one of the easiest ways to change the look of the room? As you can see, I moved my bar card on the opposite side of the room and tried to de-clutter it as much as I can. I used just a few books, my big shell and a few decorative objects to spruce it up for the new season. I tried to keep everything monochromatic as it avoids the shelves looking cluttered.

Sećate se kako sam rekla da je premeštanje nameštaja najlakši način da osvežite prostor i da uvek deluje drugačije? Bar je ovaj put "odlepršao" na suprotni kraj sobe. Za dekoraciju sam upotrebila samo par knjiga, veliku školjku i nekoliko sitnica. Trudila sam da sve bude monohromatski, da bih zadržala svež i prozračan utisak.

Every girl has to have a little blush pink in the room, right? This color looks amazing paired with neutrals, black and white. I added just a little, with velvet pillow and throw on my chair. This is my reading nook where I put up my legs and enjoy a good book. 

Svaka devojka mora da ima malo rumeno roze boje u sobi, zar ne? Ova boja je savršena uz neutralne tobove, ali i uz crno i belo. Ja sam je dodala vrlo umereno, sa ovim plišanim jastukom i lakim pokrivačem. Ovaj ćošak je moje omiljeno mesto za odmor, tu mogu da podignem noge i uživam u dobroj knjizi.

BTW, did I mentioned that I win this little furry stool in a Emmezeta contest for a best Christmas decoration photo back in January? That was my late Christmas present and I love it! 

Usput, da li sam vam rekla da sam ovu krznenu stoličicu osvojila u nagradnoj igri za najlepšu fotografiju doma ukrašenog za Novogodišnje praznike koju je organizovala Emmezeta u Januaru. Tu stoličicu sam želela da kupim, a kada sam čula da sam  je dobila, to je bilo najlepše iznenađenje za praznike!

On the coffee table I tried to stay minimal too. I put away my wintery coffee table accents and replaced them with touches of gold and natural. I added a DIY clay votive holder (You can check tutorial HERE) with a white candle, a string of natural wood beads and a gold sea urchin on a stack of coffee table books. Next to it is blue and white bowl with a fresh magnolia flowers. 

Potrudila sam se da i klub sto ostane minimalistički i prozračan za ovu sezonu. Uklonila sam sve zimske detalje i zamenila ih detaljima u neutralnim i zlatnim tonovima. Aranžirala sam moju "uradi sam" glinenu činiju - svećnjak (Tutorial pogledajte OVDE) sa belom svećom, nisku drvenih perli i zlatnog morskog ježa na nekoliko većih knjiga. Pored sam dodala još samo plavo-belu činiju sa svežim cvetovima magnolije.

I kept a mantel simple too, with candlesticks, small art, blue and white vases and fresh brunches. So there you go friends. A little touch of Spring. I’m looking forward to sharing more Easter and Spring decor as the season approaches!

Na kaminu je jednostavan dekor takođe, par svećnjaka, mala slika, plavo bele vaze i sveže procvetale grančice. I to je to, dragi prijatelji. Mali dodir proleća u našem domu. Vidimo se uskoro sa novim Uskršnjim i prolećnim postovima!

Thank you so much for stopping by today…xo

I hope you enjoyed my Spring Living Room Tour today!
