1. Nordic

It is a trend that has gained a lot of strength in recent years. The origin of this type of decoration is found in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, where sunny days are scarce for much of the year, so a way was sought to replace this lack of light. The solution was found in light colors and elements related to nature.

Features and colors

The nature of the forest and mountains are the main inspiration for this style, which is why we observe that in most cases there are wooden furniture or elements in the middle of light gray walls, similar to the sky of those pale cloudy countries.

In addition to the wood colors, the furniture stands out for its simplicity and straight lines that give a distinctive touch to the space. In the rest of the decoration, green plants and flower patterns predominate, although lately the use of geometric figures such as squares and vertical lines has been seen.

2. Scandinavian

It is another of the favorite styles in recent times. Its origin, in northern Europe, is very similar to the Nordic one: it seeks to bring light into homes in environments with little sun, hence the preference for light tones on the walls.

Features and colors

The distinctive feature of this style is its clear spaces, similar to minimalism. The objective of the Scandinavian style is to convey peace, simplicity and tranquility, so white is the predominant color. The ceiling, floor, walls and furniture are usually in the same color or very similar tones.

The furniture and decorative elements usually have light wood colors such as beige and gray, in combination with metals, or shades of stones and natural fibers. Vintage-style furniture looks great in this decoration.

3. minimalist

If order is something that governs your life, minimalism is for you. Under the premise “less is more”, the spaces created in this style are simple and serene.

Features and colors

Glossy woods or black furniture that give a feeling of opulence are the key in this type of decoration. Smooth, glass or ebony-like surfaces predominate. Although it is usual for furniture and few decorations to be in colors similar to the paint on the walls, contrasting elements can also be used with black elements.

4. Rustic or farm house

The intention of this style is to bring nature indoors to create rural houses that transmit harmony, well-being and comfort. If the house has old elements, it is important to maintain that character.

Features and colors

They are mainly fresh spaces with warm elements. In other words, walls in cool tones that provide light, with warm colors.

Although wood and stone floors and furniture are the favorites, there are a wide variety of natural materials that work very well in this style. The essentials are wood, stone, clay, wicker and ceramics.

5. Modern or eclectic classic

Although the classic style of loaded decoration is still in force, in recent years it has been decided to give it a modern touch, to create elegant and more current spaces. The classic-modern is also known as an eclectic style since it combines elements of two types of decoration.

Features and colors

The classic forms are maintained, such as the moldings on the furniture and walls, but it is combined with a decoration of smooth elements, such as those provided by stone and marble. Using glass accents will further enhance room styles.

The result is an elegant, luxurious and sophisticated look, where white and cream colors predominate.

6. Industrial

Also known as urban, it is inspired by a warehouse or loft in big cities. The history of this decoration tells that, in the 50’s, young people looking for growth in big cities like New York or Chicago, had to start in places that years ago had been factories, so beams, bricks and concrete abounded.

This is how this style was adopted, and today interior designers are inclined towards these elements in the decoration that proudly show the construction materials that others try to hide.

Features and colors

Gray is one of the favorites for this decoration. To counteract cold or dark tones, a large amount of natural light is necessary.
