Everybody has different tastes when it comes to design; this becomes especially true when redecorating your home. However, sometimes it can be hard determining which style of furniture to choose for your décor because of the numerous possibilities. In addition, just because you have a clear picture in your mind, that doesn't necessarily make it easy to select the right pieces. This guide is here to assist you through the many different styles of furniture, which will make designing your dream home practically effortless!
Casual Furniture
If you want simplicity in your home, then the casual style is perfect for you. Sometimes a home can look cluttered if there are too many carvings, scroll designs, and hand-painted details. The informal pieces in a casual décor will create a relaxing, laid-back environment. Look for clean lines, lighter shades of wood, and minimal decorative details. If you want to warm up your casual furnishings a little, try adding brightly colored accent pieces such as pillows, vases, and paintings.
Contemporary / Transitional Furniture
If you aren't quite sure which style of furniture is the best fit for you, then consider contemporary pieces. Also referred to as transitional, the contemporary style is the perfect combination of the modern, traditional, and casual styles. Look for clean lines, smooth edges, and minimal carvings and decorative finishes. In addition, since the contemporary style is so versatile, feel free to either mix it up with any of the other styles or decorate an entire room with just contemporary pieces!
Country Furniture
Turn your home into the quaint country cottage you have always dreamed of with this style of furniture! Our country-styled pieces are all crafted to give a charming feel to your home. This style can sometimes be confused with the casual style due to its informal nature. However, special touches like hand-painted details, white washing, and distressed finishes will set these pieces apart. For a complete country décor, stick to lighter finished woods, and accent colors such as sage green, lavender, and sunflower yellow.
Modern Furniture
Update your home into the 21st Century with furniture from our modern style! Not to be confused with the contemporary style, modern pieces are sleek and stylish, often with an innovative twist. Look for a lot of chrome, glass, and clean, smooth lines. The modern style will also typically feature updated and original concepts, such as atypical curved lines, retro-inspired shapes, and futuristic perceptions. Compliment your new modern pieces with brightly colored accent pieces such as pillows, vases, and irregularly shaped rugs.
Exotic Furniture
Have you ever wanted to turn your home into an island paradise or bring the Far East into your living room? If so, you might want to look at our exotic styled pieces. Also sometimes referred to as "island" or "tropical", the exotic style features accent furniture that has been influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern, and tropical cultures. Look for pieces constructed of bamboo, rattan, and wicker, as well as decorative accents like copper, hand-painted floral motifs, mosaics, and palm trees. For creating an Asian-themed room, trying sticking to rich colors like red, black, and gold. If you prefer the tropics, pick bright greens, turquoises, and pinks to compliment the bamboos honey color tone.
Novelty Furniture
Create the ultimate theme room by using accent furniture with a fun and whimsical twist! The novelty style features pieces that will add enjoyment to any homes décor. Whether you are a horse lover, a NASCAR fanatic, or a pool shark, this style will be the perfect fit for you. Use multiple items to create one specific theme, or insert a few accents into your home to jazz things up a bit.
Ornate Furniture
Looking to add a touch of intricacy and luxury to your home? The ornate style is the perfect way to bring extra special pieces into your décor without going over the top. Each ornate accent piece is beautifully scrolled, craved, or painted with complex and dazzling craftsmanship. This style is similar to the traditional style because of its attention to detail, which makes the two a perfect pair. Try incorporating a few extraordinary ornate pieces into your traditional or contemporary décor, and see how your home instantly sparkles!
Retro Furniture
If you have always wanted to turn a room in your home into a 1950s style lounge or diner, then the retro style is the perfect one for you! Each piece of retro accent furniture looks like it came out of a time machine, clearly epitomizing the fun and trendy style of its era. Look for chrome structures emphasized with brightly colored seats and accents. For the ultimate retro room, try focusing on main pieces in black, white, and silver, accompanied by accent pieces in red, blue, yellow, and magenta.
Rustic Furniture
Have you ever been to a rural farmhouse and just loved the look of its raw and natural décor? Now is your chance to transform your home into your dream ranch with rustic-styled accent furniture. Look for main pieces constructed of unfinished woods or distressed dark woods. To complete the rustic décor, try complimenting the wood pieces with horse themes, saddleseat bar stools, and Southwestern inspired prints. Also stick to accent colors in red, pine green, and sunset orange.
Traditional Furniture
If you enjoy handsome furniture that is detailed with carvings and hand-painted motifs, the traditional style is best for you. Each piece has been crafted with other eras in mind, including Colonial times, the reign of Queen Anne, and Ancient Rome. Look for woods finished in rich stains such as mahogany and cherry. Also try to find pieces that have close attention to detail, such as scrolled iron, hand-carved pillars and feet, and hand-painted decorative motifs. To spice your room up a little, include a few ornate-styled pieces that have a special glimmer or extravagance. Complete your traditional décor by including accents pieces in ivory, maroon, and hunter green.
