How To: identify your home interior style.

There are so many design styles out there that decorating your home can become a daunting task to even get started. Many of us know what we like and what we don’t like, but how do we commit to a scheme and a style?

A fundamental point to remember when identifying the style of your home interior is that it should always reflect your personality.  This is your home, select a scheme that you love rather than what is fashionable at the time.

At Tangram we believe that truly good design will stand the test of time.

With this is mind we have selected various examples of home interiors to get you inspired.

Traditional

Comfort and elegance mark a traditional interior. High-backed furniture, fine details and bold accent colours are common characteristics of this style. B&B Italia captures this level of sophistication in this image with the Édouard sofa and Bronze Cozy table, a combination which instantly adds splendour to the room.

Luxurious, innovative, and clean aesthetics, a contemporary interior is also high in quality and considers the value of functionality.

Simplicity, functionality and an emphasis on timber furniture defines the Scandi style.  With a passion for craftmanship it is no wonder that Carl Hansen and Son capture this style effortlessly.

Eclectic

Combining styles, textures and periods, an Eclectic interior reflects a home that is really lived in. Accessories are essential to this style, bringing character and personality to each room. Here we use Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra as an example, for if any brand knows how to make a room look alive it’s Vitra.

 Urban

Open spaces, geometric shapes, sleek furniture and creative flair all contribute to an Urban scheme. We love what Walter Knoll have achieved with this interior. Thin lines are the base of bold furniture, a stunning contrast that just works. Elegance and subtle creativity form this urban sanctuary.

No matter your preference in interior design style, remember that truly good design will not fade with trends.  Ask yourself what it is that you like about a particular style and this will help you choose a style that really reflects your personality.
