You can get a great look in your home by choosing from one of the many decorating styles that are in vogue today. Some like an antique look, some like retro and others like modern. Some people like a neutral home while others prefer bold color. Here are some popular styles and their key elements. Cottage Chic - This is a comfortable and relaxed style. Here you want to use lightly patterned fabrics with lots of pillows. Wicker or rattan furniture looks great. Accents should be either garden or seashore themed. Safari - Animal themed accessories and prints can give your home a tropical jungle appeal. Pillows and other fabrics in a zebra or leopard print work good.. Retro - Today there is a lot of nostalgia for the past and decorating in the style of the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s is quite popular. Go with the colors that were poular during that era and scour the yard sales and flea markets for vintage accessories. Contemporary - Go for a minimalist feel and get rid of the clutter. Sleek lined furniture and accents are best. Colors can be beiges or the contrast of black and white. Chrome and mahogany go well with the contemporary look.
Enjoy!
