Finding Your Style

Friday, January 04, 2008

Do you like French Country style?  Classical?  Black and white themes?  Haven’t found your particular style yet? Not to worry, there are plenty of resources out there to help you decide what style is for you, what color schemes work best for you or teach you how to design with your own tastes in mind.  Decorating your apartment has never been easier.

French Country- This is a rustic, old-world look, filled with aged natural elements.  Rusted iron, heavy beams and intricate embroidery fill out the French Country style. It evokes the old country, hand crafted and painted woods and a countryside filled with grapes and laughter.

Western Style- Wood and stone, leather and metal are the elements used in Western style.  This doesn’t mean cowboy boots and ten gallon hats.  Rather, natural wood and rough shaped stone mixed with deep leather chairs and metal accents round out this perennial American favorite.

Tuscan Style- Crumbling stone mixed with old world color, wrought iron and hardwood furniture are the hallmarks of this style.  It’s simple, elegant and refined, evoking thoughts of sunny fields in Italy, ancient ruins and comfortable country living.

Traditional Style- This is what many people remember growing up with.  Symmetrical elements and finely carved woods.  This can be somewhat bland to some people, but to many, it is a refreshing orderly haven in the midst of a chaotic world.

There are many more styles to tempt your eye and heart out there.  Whatever you choose, make sure it is a reflection of your personality and desire.
