True to the English saying “My home is my castle”, your own four walls should be a place of refuge and well-being. Apart from the location and type of living, the furnishings are a central part of this homely feel-good castle. Tastes are as diverse as the numerous furnishing styles. In order not to lose track, you can find beautiful interior inspiration here.
The “Skandi” furnishing style is based on Scandinavian interior influences. This is not only due to the love many people have for the Swedish furniture store “Ikea”, but primarily due to the beautiful natural materials and soft colors of the reserved style. If you want to furnish your home in a “Skandi” look, choose light wood and natural textiles. Color is also used, but subtly, so beige and blue tones can be suitable in the form of carpets and cushions.
White forms the basis of the furnishings and decoration, so that the “Skandi-style” home appears bright and friendly. The furnishing style is simple, but not boring, simple furniture silhouettes often have round legs of chairs, tables or sofas that point slightly outwards.
Do you know the popular German series “Babylon Berlin”? The viewer finds himself in Berlin in the 1920s. The golden 20s are not only good inspiration when it comes to standard fabrics, but also when it comes to the next interior design style. This is called “Art Deco” – it sounds classy and it is. The style is sophisticated, exudes glamor and pure luxury. Geometric shapes are used not only in furniture, but also in pictures and other decoration. Textiles are usually eye-catching, shining in gold or shimmering through velvet.
The Great Gatsby is also considered a symbolic figure for the “Art Deco” interior design style. A fictional character created by writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (already portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film of the same name, The Great Gatsby). By the way, the style appeared at that time not only in furnishings, but also in fashion and architecture.
Anyone who furnishes their home in the “industrial” style also relies on simple design. The style is something for minimalists who like things structured. “Industrial” can seem rough, but it doesn’t have to be. Darker tones such as brown, gray or black dominate, but that doesn’t make it uncomfortable. Comfortable upholstered furniture, often made of leather, loosens up the furnishing style and appears inviting.
The nice thing is: the “industrial” style leaves room for creativity and is always somewhat unfinished. That’s what makes it so charming and versatile.
Free and informal is how the “Boho” furnishing style can be characterized. It brings with it a hippie flair and artistic-looking pieces of furniture. Bright colors are a must, as is the mix of patterns. Muted tones such as brown and beige form a beautiful basis for the more colorful play of colors. Macrame tapestries (that you have made yourself) are ideal for decoration because they look playful and cozy. When choosing furniture in the “Boho” style, we recommend a material mix of wood, leather and woven rattan. In any case, mixing materials, colors and patterns is absolutely desirable and gives the “Boho” style an unconventional touch.
Are you wondering what the term “Boho” actually means? It is derived from the word “bohemian” and describes a subculture consisting of intellectual fringe groups with literary, visual artistic and musical ambitions. The style unites artists of all kinds and cannot be pigeonholed, but thrives on diversity and creativity.
