Oh My, I haven’t done this in a while…. life gets really hectic and I find it difficult to take some time to write. But today I have a fun topic that I want to share with you!
When I was in college, about 20 years ago, I think we were taught that there were 4 design styles:
Traditional, Transitional, Modern and Contemporary.
Over the years, more styles got added such as eclectic, glam, mid century modern, coastal and more. And today I saw a new partial list, super basic- haha:
Modern farmhouse, Modern eclectic, New traditional (this one I happen to enjoy in the moment), California casual, Industrial, Rustic, Global, Scandinavian, Glam, Coastal, French country,…. and the list goes on.
My feeling is that most of us can’t fit into one box, we tend to mix a few. I for once, often mix in order to get the right “recipe” for each and every client- and I believe this is the magic recipe.
I tend to not follow trends, but I like to add them in the form of accessories, smaller objects, sometime art that is not that expensive, because otherwise it gets boring or you get bored of it very fast.
So this month’s tip for you is:
You don’t have to fit into a design box- mix a few, make your own recipe, and have a space that trully feels authentic to you!
Happy April, and see you soon!
