Interior Design Style 1: Transitional
The transitional interior design style is best described as updated classic (like this sophisticated office space by Katharine Pooley). It combines traditional elegance and
character with contemporary updates in the form of accessories, cleaner lines and current textiles.
Traditional features include the use of button-tufting, nailhead trim and existing architectural features such as fireplaces and cornicing.
Finishes are always flawless, rugs are silken, fabrics are plush and woods are rich, and sophisticated lines pervade the style’s furniture designs. Tuxedo sofas, upholstered
ottoman coffee tables and elegant console tables are favoured furniture choices.
Curated accessories such as abstract artwork, art glass and unique objets provide a desirably layered look.

Interior Design Style 2: Art Deco
Art Deco is an iconic early twentieth century interior design style of French origin which pervaded most of the decorative arts of the 1910s to the 1930s.

Key Art Deco indicators are stylised sunburst and graduated step motifs; a fascination with African, Russian and, most importantly, Egyptian cultures; and exotic materials
such as macassar ebony and zebrano woods, lapis lazuli and jade stone and shagreen.
The style was heavily inspired by the Industrial Revolution so metal was also incorporated into furniture design. Forms were curved or angular and the most recognisable
colour palette was black, white and gold.

Interior Design Style 3: Chalet
Recognised by its use of heavy timbers, animal hides and generously proportioned furniture, chalet style is the almost universal interior design style choice for mountain
chalets and lakeside lodges.
Image Credit: Spinocchia Freund

It suitably balances the natural characteristics of its locales by incorporating appropriate natural materials and colour palettes.
Exposed beams, timber-clad walls and stone elements characterise the style’s context. Typical chalet furniture often incorporates natural elements. Dining tabletops rest on raw
wood bases and side tables of petrified wood are popular. Cast iron or antler chandeliers are the most traditional lighting choices.

A classical interior style reference classical civilisations (predominantly Greek and Roman), antiquity and the classical tradition.
Image Credit: Thomas Pheasant

This interior design style was popular during the Renaissance and then again in a revival form in the 18th and 19th centuries, the style is inherently sophisticated.
Columns and other classical architectural elements are key in the style’s interior and exterior architecture as well as furniture designs.
The klismos chair, a bowed back open occasional chair with saber legs, is the most enduring classical furniture piece. Other prominent motifs include laurel wreaths, urns,
busts and dentil mouldings.

Furniture lines are clean and uncomplicated but finishes are integral, innovative and luxurious, creating a nonchalant and stylish dialogue.
Sofas and armchairs well-designed but comfortable, being upholstered in lustrous velvets and chenilles. Coffee tables and casegoods are understated and simplified or
monolithic and sculptural.
Installation lighting is an important element of a room’s overall design as is specialist wall cladding and flooring.

Loose-covered upholstery in linen and chintzy patterns such as florals and tartan is the style’s trademark as well as upholstered fauteuils which are usually whitewashed or
painted for a more relaxed feel.
Other wooden furniture is also limed or distressed and antique furniture or accessories are common.
Modern incarnations of the style include stylised florals, squared off silhouettes and less traditional colour palettes, including the use of greyed woods and neutrals over
quintessentially country pastels.

Interior Design Style 8: French
French interior design style is one of the most influential in the history of decorative arts.
Image Credit: Jean-Louis Deniot

Typified by the decorative styles of the Louis XIV, XV and XVI eras (approximately the late 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries), the style is highly respected for its finely
crafted furniture, intricate carvings and opulent gilding.
Archetypal Rococo asymmetry, bombe silhouettes and Neoclassical elements such as Roman gods, lyres, urns and winged lions are quintessentially French. Decorative show
wood frames feature prominently as do cabriole or fluted legs, which have remained a staple of elegant furniture design.

Interior Design Style 9: Hollywood Regency
Hollywood Regency is a high-glamour interior design style which originated and was most popular in California since the mid-twentieth century.
Image Credit: Olive Interiors

The design is inspired predominantly by the glamorous residences of the cinema’s Golden Era movie stars.
High-contrast colour combinations—hot pink and kelly green, black and white, turquoise and lemon yellow—are the style’s most notable feature alongside elaborate
chandeliers, high gloss black or mirrored casegoods and skirted boudoir upholstery which are the main characteristics of the style.
Rococo remained an influential inspiration and Chinoiserie elements such as bamboo frame metal furniture and mirrors were also used.

Interior Design Style 10: Mid-century Modern
Mid-century modern is a notably American interior design style which was popularised by the designs of Florence Knoll, Vladimir Kagan and Milo Baughman.
Image Credit: B.A. Torrey

The Modern and Scandinavian movements were particularly influential with iconic furniture pieces (particularly chairs, such as the Eames lounger, the Egg chair and the womb
chair) constituting a big part of the Mid-century aesthetic story.
Show wood frame furniture was popular as was the use of textiles in colourful shades.
Woods such as rosewood, teak and walnut were used regularly and canary and mustard yellow, carnation and flamingo pink, chartreuse, pale turquoise and avocado are a
quintessential Mid-century colourways.

Interior Design Style 11: Minimalist
A twentieth century interior design style known for simple forms, clean lines and uncomplicated finishes, minimalism considers the importance of negative space as much as
positive space.
Image Credit: Guillaume Alan

Accessorising is consciously sparse and sculptural pieces take precedence over ornamental designs. Built-in storage, behind seamless doors, and careful furniture arrangements
create a cool, composed vibe.
Typically sans colour and pattern, texture plays a key role in minimalist interiors.

Interior Design Style 12: Traditional
Traditional interior style is best represented by quintessential English furniture design and, in particular, the country’s impressive manufacturing history.
Image Credit: Maurizio Pellizzoni

Handsome, rich and inherently formal are the style’s underpinning elements and important pieces, such as the button-tufted Chesterfield sofa or wingback chair, characterise its
penchant for well-constructed, robust designs.
Large casegood pieces often incorporate prominent cornicing, seemingly inspired by architectural mouldings, and upholstery is most commonly rendered in supple dark leathers
(although designs are often modernised with neutral fabrics).
