To begin with, if you do not have a defined style and you are not clear about it, 100% is to create a list with what is essential for you in your home, and in the same way with what you would not put under any circumstances. The problem arises with everything that falls between, everything that does not generate phobias or passions in us.
We give some general guidelines for some of the most common decoration styles to see if any of them fit your personality and help you:
Retro style: This style is characterized by its modern and fun style that includes elements from three decades (from the 50s to the 70s). It is essential to include striking accessories with bright colors, but without overdoing it.
Minimalist style: simple style that brings serenity and tranquility. Made up of basic and simple lines, with great order and without superfluous accessories. They are usually accompanied by neutral colors.
Country style: This style is more widespread in the US, but in Spain it also has many followers. It is a romantic style, with a great contribution of textiles in light pastel tones and with plants that provide a fresh air.
Eastern style: Includes aspects of oriental and Japanese culture in our decoration
Contemporary style: It has very similar aspects to the minimalist style, although here you see more classic and sophisticated furniture in greater quantities. The colors remain neutral.
Ethnic style: This style is the favorite of the most travelers. It is about including decorative details from countries around the world.
Industrial style: It is the ideal style for lofts: large, open spaces with high ceilings and making great use of urban materials (metal, glass, cement, brick, etc.)
Nordic style: From the Scandinavian countries comes the Nordic style. The star material of this style is wood in light tones (maple, beech, oak). Simplicity and simplicity in shapes, light colors with some colorful touches in small accessories.
