Universal Group INC brings you the main styles that are trendy. We hope that this list will make you discard those elements that do not match your tastes, so you get the style that best suits what you need. These are obtained by mixing different features of various sets of decoration, but it is necessary to know the fundamental aspects of each one.
1. Nautical or navy
The marine or nautical decoration is ideal for sea lovers since it promises to transfer that maritime sensation to the home and endow it with tranquility. But pay particular attention if your place is located in an area of cold weather because this custom is characterized by transmitting freshness to the environment. If this is your case, I recommend that you contribute to your stays warmth and comfort. Or if it's your favorite, apply this decoration to a single room.
Keys to get a navy or nautical style:
-Use of blue and white striped prints, on upholstery, textiles, wallpaper.
-Elements and accessories such as reproductions of sailboats, shells, starfish, rudders, oars, -lanterns, floats, ropes, etc.
-Stairs and boat rails, to emphasize the style if it is your favorite.
-Wood pouring, for furniture, accessories, wall covering (skirting), as in the decks of boats.
2. Industrial
The industrial style is also known as loft. It is a beautiful custom that has its origin in the typical architecture of the industry, old ships of the New York of the 50. Later converted into housing for artists and immigrants who could not afford the rent of an apartment in the city.
An unpretentious architecture and visual appeal that has to do with its exposed brick structure and its materials. Emphasis is placed on the liberal use of exposed steel with wooden elements. A more modern variant includes accents in copper tones.
Tips to get an industrial style:
-Large windows.
-Materials used and worn, such as brick, cement and lots of steel.
-Pillars and exposed beams.
-Conduits and pipes of the facilities in sight.
-Diaphanous spaces, wide, without partition, with very high ceilings.
3. Scandinavian (hygge)
A branch of the modern movement of the mid-twentieth century. The Scandinavian design introduced a functional and minimalist aspect, within the interior architecture lasting thus, until our days. Although most people associate with IKEA, there is a variety or subset of style, within the same Scandinavian design.
The hygge custom is based on the well-being of people through the creation of a pure environment that transmits peace and tranquility. The search for happiness is the primary purpose of this decoration, which, through the small details, tries to create an environment that favors calmness while enjoying the little things in life.
Characteristics of the Scandinavian style (hygge):
-Simplicity, uniformity of colors.
-Soft contours.
-A balance of organic and industrial materials.
-Furniture of simple, contemporary and functional forms.
-Basic elements but that bring warmth and comfort to the environment.
-Light colors, white, beige or gray.
4. Bohemian or boho chic
The bohemian style, also known as hippie chic, boho chic or gypsy, and has become a trend. The decoration of Bohemia captures the free and adventurous spirit of the avant-garde lifestyle. Hippie chic represents the lifestyle of people who enjoy simple things, contact with nature.
It’s fantastic to give value to the past, history, and to enjoy life in a more carefree way.
The bohemian style is characterized by:
-Being a pretty loose and casual style.
-Use of color stands out boldly.
-Use natural materials, wood, animal skin (here I would prefer it to be synthetic) in contrast to metallic details.
-Ethnic and nomadic elements, such as Moroccan accessories or tribal designs.
-Use of rich and creative prints of vibrant colors, in purple or red tones, in textiles, upholstery or carpets.
5. Farm or farmhouse chic
This type of country house decoration is a modern approach to rustic or farmhouse interior decoration, inspired by an English cottage in the countryside. Thanks to its shabby chic character, with some traditional elements mixed, and its farm aesthetic, this custom takes you to the French Provence.
The keys to achieving this style are:
-Implementing colors similar to the ones used in nautical decoration, with base tones that are -mostly white and beige.
-Furniture characterized by being aged wood and upholstered with patterned fabrics.
-Having common accent colors like lilac, turquoise or soft yellow.
-Using a careful arrangement of vases and pots with nice bunches of flowers or even dried flowers.
-The implement of henhouse mesh for the doors of cupboards or cabinets.
-Having accessories of vintage character.
