1. Japandi

Japandi brings the harmonious blend of the East and West into one space, combining the minimalism of Japanese design with the warmth and elegance of Scandinavian interiors. The style emphasizes clean lines, natural materials, and muted color palettes. Opt for natural materials like wood and stone if you choose to incorporate this style into your space to create a serene and inviting atmosphere. This style brings simplicity, and functionality, making it perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance.

2. Bohemian Glam

Infuse the oh so loved Bohemian style with a touch of luxury to bring the Bohemian Glam alive. Think eclectic patterns, vibrant colors, and plush fabrics paired with glamorous accents like chandeliers and metallic finishes. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different colors and textures to create a visually rich and dynamic space that reflects you. Blending the eclectic, free-spirited vibe of bohemian design with the luxuriousness of glamor, Bohemian Glamour creates a space that feels both cozy and opulent. Emphasize on the layers of textures, bring in jewel tones, and vintage furniture, creating an inviting and visually captivating environment.

3. Bauhaus

Bauhaus interior decor, rooted in the early 20th-century German design movement, embodies simplicity, functionality, and the fusion of art. The decor style emphasizes clean lines, geometric shapes, and a minimalistic aesthetic. Go for furniture that features a mix of materials like metal, glass, and wood. Opt for primary colors, along with black, white, and gray, used sparingly, to create visual contrast. Bauhaus prioritizes light, air, and movement, so make sure to keep your floor plan open and choose elements that allow light to be captured.

4. Neo-Rustic Chic 

Neo-Rustic Chic updates traditional rustic design by incorporating contemporary elements and a more refined aesthetic. It retains the warmth and coziness of rustic style while integrating sleeker furniture, minimalist accents, and a neutral color scheme with occasional bursts of color or texture. If you are choosing a Neo-rustic design, make sure to shine a light on natural and untreated materials of your furniture and balance it with leather and woven textiles.

5. Tropical Industrial 

If you are a fan of exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and metal accents, then tropical industrial might be for you. At its core, Tropical Industrial decor embraces the rugged charm of industrial design. These elements provide a sense of authenticity and character to the space, while also serving as a canvas for the tropical elements to shine. This style juxtaposes the raw, utilitarian elements of industrial design with the vibrant, lush atmosphere of tropical places. Think rattan furniture paired with metal accents, and earthy tones complemented by pops of tropical colors.
