Vinay asked:


You want to redecorate your house but there’s one thing stopping you from achieving you goal. You don’t know what you want! There are so many interior design styles out there and you like just about all of them. You don’t know which one you should choose for your own house and now your desire to redecorate your house might be floundering.

Many design styles have evolved over the years and some are more popular than others. Some people have never visited exotic locations, but want their home to reflect these areas. So, what design style should you choose when decorating your home?

That depends upon your own personal preferences. What do you like when choosing decorating items? Do you like roosters, American flags, soft and cozy? There are design styles which will fit your type of home. Look around and see what items you have displayed.

If you like the warm and home town feeling then you may be ready for the country style. This is composed of quilts, rough furniture, patriotic, wood, metal and craft look items. There are many styles of country; such as Americana, Swedish, English and French. Choosing one style may be difficult be look at all the styles before finalizing your thoughts. Some interior design styles are given below:

• Traditional

Traditional is more formal and elegant. Raised panel cabinet doors or clear glass panels separated by thin strips of wood are often seen. Rich wood finishes or painted white wood may be accented with sparkle from brass or brass-tone hardware.

• Mediterranean Interior Design

Mediterranean interior design makes use of the colors of the earth and the sky, including yellow, lavender, peach, orange, salmon, and other hues that reflect the jaunty Mediterranean culture.

Mediterranean interior design also makes use of foliage not just for the landscaping but also as accent pieces for a home’s interiors. Houses making use of Mediterranean interior design do not have too many structures that serve no purpose. Usually, architecture is simple and personal touches depend on the homeowner’s own collections and decor.

• Craftsman Bungalow Houses

Craftsman bungalow housesusually have low-pitched gable roofs with large overhangs and exposed rafters. Under the gables are often decorative beams or braces. A craftsman bungalow commonly has a generous front porch with a roof is carried on square, tapered columns. Stone or brick frequently is used for the porch’s base or columns. Masonry may also be used for a tapered chimney on one side of the house.

• French Country Design

French country design is more of a style than a set of specifics. The rural homes of France that provide the basis for French country style are diverse in all but their charm. One common trait is the multi-paned windows extending to the floor, which are called French windows and that are used like doors, inside and out. The kitchen is enormous and comfortable, with exposed, sturdy beams and tiled floors. The living room is also large, often with a fireplace.

• Japanese Interior Design

The stunning beauty of a Japanese home is partially due to its clean, uncluttered look. While Western homes tend to be filled with furniture, textiles, and ornate decoration, a Japanese home seems almost empty in comparison. Much of a Japanese home’s beauty comes from it’s timber frame carpentry and the natural materials used in construction. Japanese interior design, then, is not about “adding” extra items to the room. Instead, the goal is to minimize distractions and to allow the graceful beauty of the building, itself, to shine.
