1. Modern Design

This design is perfect for those who prefer less clutter.

By using warm and natural colours, you can create a comfortable and welcoming feeling in your home. The most popular materials used for a modern style include wood and stone but take note, when choosing your colours try not to mix too many as it can create a busy a noisy feel, keep it simple with warm white and neutrals.

Contemporary is all about the ‘right now’. This style focuses on subtle sophistication with a sleek and clean texture, using bold colours and crisp lines to create a sense of simple comfort in the home. Try using furniture with simple and clean finishes, remember, less is more in the contemporary style! The trick with this style is to stay away from busy features such as pattern wall paper and decorative carvings on furniture, keep it simple with a basic painted wall and bold smooth coloured furniture, add some pattern coloured cushions to bring in some texture.

4. Scandinavian Design

You might not recognise the name but this style is very popular. Some refer to Scandinavian as very IKEA alike. With wood being the main feature, try decorating with some modern furniture; wooden dining room chairs are very popular with a white frame. The main colours used to create the Scandinavian style consist of off whites, dove grey and tones of nature. These colours give a sense of softness to the home. Opening your house up to light and using whites is also a staple ingredient. And most importantly Scandinavian style is very liveable, so try to introduce some everyday things that you will use basing it around your chosen colour scheme.
