Finding Your Decorating Style

There are modern, classic, rustic, country, or any other home styles out there. Do you want to decorate your home but don't know which type suits you best? To have a stylish home decoration, you must first decide what you want to do. You can start by asking yourself these questions:  

• Do I love the past or the present?
• Vivid colors, pastel, or neutral tones?
• Simplicity or ostentation?
• City or countryside? 

You can start creating your home style according to your answers to the questions above.  

If you like history and glitz, the classic house style is for you. Furniture made of satin, silk and velvet fabrics, marble fireplaces and decorated ceilings is indispensable for classical home style. In a classic house style, heavy furniture is often used. You can complete your classical style home decoration with wall mirrors with gold-colored engravings. You can also add a rich look to the classic home style with antique paintings and decorative accessories.  

If you want a simple, tidy and stylish house, you can try the modern house style. Modern home style is a decoration style far from exaggeration and flashy, where functionality is at the forefront. It is ideal for those who want to experience the present, not the past or the future. A house with modern decoration has horizontal and vertical lines. If your house has an exposed column or beam, you can easily choose the contemporary house style. Decorative pillows, vases or trinkets are occasionally used in modern home style. You do not need to separate your living area and dining area with walls. Instead, try to separate regions with different functions by using a bookcase, armchair or console and putting electronic items in closed cabinets. In modern home style, comfortable, valuable and horizontal furniture comes to the fore. Instead of handcrafting, you can choose factory-made, affordable furniture. In modern home decoration, plain fabrics without patterns are used instead of striking designs. You can use white, black, gray and beige colors in your home without fear and capture the feeling of comfort with angular geometric forms and pieces made of leather, steel and wood.  

Create a timeless effect in your home with country house style. Creating a natural, stylish and modest home is very easy with country-style decoration products. Moreover, you can find these parts everywhere. The country style, which is preferred by people who want to reflect the rural lifestyle to their home or desire a simple life, is inspired by nature.                                                                                                                                                      

The most striking feature of the country house style is that the materials used in the decoration are not processed. Instead, each material is used as it is in nature. As a result, you can get an impressive look with hand-knitted covers, natural stone flooring, the lighting made from dry branches, stone or brick walls.
