Learn the fundamentals of assorted design styles, explore examples of how to integrate them, and find out how to develop your personal style.
I started re-watching the series Sex and the City on Netflix this past week. What I thought was interesting was how Carrie nonchalantly produced topics for her column (and the clever titles that ensued.) This made me think - what do readers of interior design and home remodel blogs want to hear about? How can I share content worthy of any readers attention?
I realized that I have a lot of content stored up that just needs a way to be disseminated, but where do I start?
And just like that (cue the Sex and the City theme song), I decided I could start by sharing Design Style Guides I have been developing over the last 6 months to spark inspiration and motivate those looking for a new direction in their own style.
The styles I will introduce are not in any specific order, but some must be explained first to grasp others. Certain topics may be more relevant due to recent readings or discoveries I have come across reading other articles, blog posts, and even reviewing pins on Pinterest.
Categories of Design Styles
Before we delve into the specific styles, I would like to discuss a few categories of styles. Those that are the more well-known or typical styles - such as Traditional and Contemporary - I will refer to as "Classic" Design Styles. Then there are styles that blend specific elements from different styles, focus on niche areas, or are emerging trends. These styles will be referred to as "Trendy" Design Styles. In this context, 'trendy' does not imply a style that is fleeting or short-lived; rather, it denotes those that are in recent conversation or focus. Examples of these styles may be Japandi or Midimalism.
In either case, my goal is to help readers better understand "Classic" Design Styles and explore "Trendy" styles so you can find those that speak to you.
Stay tuned for my first post!
