This is a collaborative post: A difficult and time-consuming phase of interior design is deciding the kind of design style you want to adhere to, especially when it wasn’t planned during the construction of your new home. Sometimes new homeowners might also change their minds because they saw something better along the way. We understand that it is really hard to pick styles, especially if you aren’t well-versed with interior design. Let’s look at five of the most trending interior design styles.
Boho: The bohemian interior design style represents a very raw, earthy, fresh and warm look that has been trending for a while now. This style is all about layers, plants, textures, collecting different pieces, and displaying everything in concord. This will be a theme that is mostly neutral. It will include items with a lot of rattan, natural woven textures, whites, creams etc. In contrast, it can also be bright, bold and colourful. Boho style comes off as very artistic, full of life and cosy inspired by the travelling gipsy lifestyle. A divan bed will perfectly go with a variety of cushions, tassels, pom-poms, macrame, hanging plants etc. The boxy yet cushiony outlook of the fabric beds online will amazingly blend with other cosy details.
Mid-Century Modern Style: The mid-century style is very trendy, full of life and colour, giving out a youthful yet mature look. This style represents the natural evolution of interior design styles from the 1940s to the 1970s. For that reason, it inspires a retro feel as it will feature pieces and look from back then. It is relatively easy to put together as it has distinct features, and can be developed with family interest and convenience in mind. This style includes tapered legs, walnut or other darker wood, hairpin legs, sputnik lights, large bulbs with gold and silver accents. The mid-century design doesn’t have ornate details but sparse and minimal features. It’s all about clean lines, and that’s exactly what a divan bed offers.
Traditional: Now, let’s take a peek at the traditional style before going any further with modern style. This style, popularised from the 18th to 19th centuries, features a lot more ornate features such as wing back chairs, Gabriel legs and other tufted furniture. It is an absolutely timeless style, a favourite to many and will last forever. You can easily introduce this style to a bedroom by adding a divan bed wrapped in exquisite material. A perfect example would be divan crushed velvet beds with diamond tuftings, wing back chairs on either side, some gold details and oil paintings on the walls.
Transitional: The traditional style may feel a bit boring for some people. Maybe you want a few modern touches but still have the traditional ambience going on. This is where the transitional style comes into the picture. This style is all about creating a harmonious mixture using traditional and modern elements. In short, a modern-day look that is inspired by the past. So when decorating in the transitional style, stay within a neutral colour palette, use similar tones and large artworks to make a statement. You can use wing back chairs, tufted furniture and other traditional elements along with things like modern light fixtures and quirky rugs to keep the balance.
Contemporary: Lastly, the contemporary style. This style is all about what is trending now. One of the most common features of contemporary interiors is round elements. Features like curved walls, round furniture, dark/moody or high contrast spaces all scream contemporary. If you’re going for contemporary style, you may need to frequently switch things up. Since a divan bed is one of the cleanest and simplest options design-wise, adding a curvy headboard with linen fabric will make it a perfect choice for your contemporary interiors.
