Learn Your Interior Design Style in Edmonton, AB
When you’re decorating your home, it can sometimes be difficult to pin down exactly what you are trying to create. You want a cohesive design, but if you can’t choose between interior design styles, how can you manage it? We have some tips for determining your own aesthetic, so that you can create a home that feels perfectly comfortable to you, yet presents the image you want to convey.
- It all starts with a list of your own preferences. Sometimes it can be easier to narrow this down by thinking about what you don’t want, rather than what you like. Do you dislike busy patterns? Bohemian is probably not the style for you. Do you find mid-century modern boring? Then that’s not the way to go, either. Don’t just think about furniture, but about anything you find visually unappealing. Once you’ve written down your dislikes, think about some things that you do like, drawing inspiration from home design sites, movies, and homes you visit. Start a Pinterest board, filling it with imagery that appeals to you.
- Discover your style. As you add things to your Pinterest board, you may see a pattern begin to emerge. Is there one particular colour you gravitate toward? Is there a theme to the textures you choose? Do you go for neutral tones or bright hues? Are the images you chose minimalistic, or do you like a lot of variety and patterns? Once you know your own aesthetic, interior design will begin to come together for you. Check out the tags for the pictures you’ve pinned, and that will help you narrow down the types of interior design styles that appeal to you, as well as helping you gain a design vocabulary.
- Can you have more than one interior design in a home? Sometimes it can be difficult to choose between home decorating styles, and this is perfectly fine. As you look at different types of decorating styles, you might find that your personal style is coastal/farmhouse, with a touch of the bohemian. Or maybe you lean heavily toward mid-century modern, but you love the look of a Tuscan farmhouse kitchen. Your home is your own personal space, and it doesn’t have to follow any rules to be beautiful. The key is to find unifying elements that make the look cohesive, even if it incorporates different styles. One way to do this is to pick a limited colour palette and carry some of your colours throughout the house. Another is to pick a motif to repeat, or to match the wood in your furnishings.
- Here’s how to choose an interior design style. Look carefully at the images you’ve pinned and consider the different types of décor that make you happy. Now ask yourself what really draws you to this style (or styles). It could be that there is a particular type of sofa or coffee table that keeps showing up in your favourite images, or a style of artwork or accessory. As you look for pieces to furnish your home, keep an eye out for items that look like the things that caught your eye on your design board, and use those pieces to anchor your interior design. You may find that, as you add pieces to your décor, you begin to lean more towards one style or another. Eventually, your interior décor style will become easier to define, and uniquely your own.
