Interior Design Styles
A number of basic interior design styles apply to everything from furniture to interior and exterior home design. Here are some general guidelines for some popular design styles:
Contemporary / modern designs feature sleek, unadorned cabinets, plain panel doors and hardware that's hidden or minimal
Traditional designs are 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.
Country designs feature light stain or distressed-colour finishes, simple cabinet and door styles and plain wood or ceramic knobs and handles.
Victorian styles often reflect the romance of the 19th century with contemporary convenience. Common cabinet woods are oak or cherry and with the right color scheme, even white can be used. Many different types of hardware will work, from antique pewter to hammered iron.
High-tech design areas feature stainless steel, metal tubing, chrome and black accents. Kitchens often feature an industrial look with sleek metallic appliances and storage cabinets. Glass block or curving transparent window glass may be set in a wall.
