CLASSIC
The classic interior design is derived from Greek and Roman design. In the 17th century quickly spread over the Europe, and became the dominant style for more than two centuries. This type of interior design is based on order, balance, and perfect harmony. The Classical design does not include any modern elements or current influences. Instead, it is steeped in tradition. Everything from the lighting to the way that pictures are placed inside of a classic room should be immaculate. Classically designed rooms often contain large focal points, for example, a feature fireplace flanked on either side by matching armchairs with an ornate mirror above. A large fireplace, grand table, or impressive staircase are good examples of focal points too and has been used often. The Classical interior design is based on order, symmetry and balance. The colour palette common to classical interior design style is often inspired by nature. A variety of yellows, blues, greens, browns as well as softer, muted hues like terracottas, greys and pinks are commonly used. When accenting with whites, choose off-white if you want to stay in keeping with a more authentic classic colour palette. Deep blues, browns, yellow, green, and earth tones such as terracotta are frequently found within classical spaces. In addition, black can be used to outline important items within a room. Objects such as Roman columns, busts, and large vases are also quite common within classical themes. If you want a slightly more contemporary feel, choose bright white colours instead. Fabrics used in classical interior design style tend to be elegant without being overly ornate or attention grabbing. Cotton, canvas and velvet are some commonly used in classic interiors. Linen, cotton, and other durable fabrics are often used to create a classic theme. Taffeta and silks along with cotton and linen will add a bit of a splash to a classical room too. Velvet is also used in abundance, though velvet is best used as an upholstery fabric. When it comes to flooring options, the classic interior design does not stray that far from the flooring materials once used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Wood, marble, slate, and stone are all ideal choices. The natural flooring of wood, stone or marble works best in the classically styled environment as they relate well to the natural colour schemes used. Marble and stone can be placed in a geometric pattern in order to create an interesting, and calculated, look. Patterns can be used in conjunction with classic interior design, though any pattern should be kept conservative. Large striped motifs are the best pattern options for this type of space. While a classically designed space is not for everyone, this type of space is often breathtaking and glamorous if executed properly. Classic style is a style of symmetry with each side of the room mirrored on either side of a central focal point which means one side of a room would perfectly reflect the other side of a room. Columns are also a feature of the classic design as such vertical, tone-on-tone stripes on the walls or curtains. Classic style is very popular and evergreen.
Minimalism is a the direction in art and architecture derived from 60` of the last century and also has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional culture.

MINIMALISM
ART-DECO
Art deco began in Europe and takes its name from the international exhibition of modern decorative and industrial arts, held in Paris in 1925. It was popular in both Europe and the us, until the outbreak of world war II. It was influenced by modern architecture, particular the Bauhaus and Egypt and Africa style. Art deco has been characterised by bright, vibrant colours, often with contrasting and surprising forms with clearly marked outline. Art deco is a decorative style full of taste full decorations, geometric forms, reproduced crystal structures and mesh. star or zigzag styled natural forms have been used to play with shape. Despite using lots of industrial images and geometric lines, when used effectively. Art deco is glamorous, stylish and chick, often being used in high class hotels. One might believe this use of geometry is akin to minimalism. on the contrary, they are two completely different styles and could not be further set apart. The most commonly used materials for art deco are solid wood, often exotic veneer, leather, fine fabric and crystals. Art Deco is now an iconic style with continuing appeal.
BAUHAUS
Bauhaus is a German fraction of modernism. Its name is derived from the university of Bauhaus in Weimar Germany, which was created as an architecture style. The direction of its style is similar to art-deco, expressing a combination of art and utility technology. The predominate idea for this style is to create functional space, linked with arts. The important issue is that, Bauhaus style combines unrelated disciplines of architecture such as sociology, biology and psychology. hence, it is similar to feng shui philosophy; It can expand ideas ensuring that space is properly created and tailored to give positive effects on one's life. characteristic colours in this trend are bright (black, orange, yellow and sometimes red). The shapes are simple using cubes and lines, the furniture and other components have a repeatability and simplicity of form.
COLONIAL
Colonial style based on India , Burma, Thailand and Africa styles. For historical reasons colonial style began with an increasing numbers of colonies in xviii and xix century. It is contemporary European style transplanted to invaded territories. For this reason the continental wood and components were not suitable for a rustic climate and high temperature, hence they started to produce similar furniture and objects based on local components and wood such as bamboo, marabou, mahogany, rosewood, verge, rattan. Original furniture and components were manufactured by hand, with great attention to detail and decoration, often stylised on very old furniture; they transformed new into old.The most distinctive feature of this style are office furniture, in particular, massive decorative and dark colour desks, bureaux bookcases, chairs complemented by fine noble fabric. All these are made with elegance, of a high standard and are very stylish, old looking furniture.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary home decor is about mixing interior design and personal elements in an interesting way. The contemporary style uses personal items as a focus point and often as a starting point, building up atmosphere and whole interior. The rule of this style is mix, rather than match. to get this effect we have to place items against one another to make a contrast: serious and witty, dark and light, old and new, shiny and matte, antique and modern, sleek and rustic, finished and frayed. The style often uses focal points in a room, pulling contemporary home decor together in groups. to integrate things we can use a clustering technique which is a very good way to integrate items and objects that don`t look great on their own - they sometimes "thrive" in the company of other items that complement them in interesting ways. Another way of making contemporary home decor look really effective is the "star-and-chorus-line" setup which gives a gorgeous antique heirloom or a striking modern piece of furniture (the star) centre stage. In this style you place other, less remarkable items and objects (the chorus-line) nearby ; the chorus line will enhance the star. this style requires you to keep your home furnished in a simple, unfussy and timeless fashion with clean lines. also scatter delightfully yummy, unexpected gems, perhaps an overstuffed cushion covered in rich, sensuous cashmere, or a luxurious throw made out of an exquisite embroidered fabric which is backed with silk. It`s certainly not true that "anything goes" but almost anything can be combined with something else that is quite different; We just have to remember that less is more so do not make an interior cluttered. This style is more about your personality rather than general rules or historical background. in interior design terms, it is about having fun and playing with different un-connecting objects, to create an interesting, contemporary and personal interior.
ECLECTIC
Eclectism as an architectural style of functioning in the late xix and xx century. Eclectism guiding principle combining elements from different eras, styles and trends. Nowadays eclectism is a link between rich and sophisticated ornaments and accessories in the baroque and minimalist style. In simple terms, one can say that eclectism is a combination of classic style mixed with modern furniture and household appliances. Historical forms of furniture are styled with contemporary materials. however eclectism does face its own challenges: a relaxed attitude and inefficient design can result in combining complete random items and objects. As a result one may create a cluttered and chaotic interior in which nobody would like to live. Besides that, with a little dose of realism and awareness of art traps and sand - banks, eclectism gives us an array of possibilities of moderation. It can create a wonderful sense of space, without any formal restrictions.
AFRICAN
African style is based on traditional African primitive culture.The interior inspired by African trends is very energetic, with bright and stung colours which are calm, wild and full of exotic nature and mystery. The African style does not need to dominate the whole room interior; interiors could be adopted in just one corner adopting the African accent. African interior design is a simple, classic look. your room does not need to be too cluttered or fussy. Important for the African design is colour and allowance. big shapes, richness in colour, such as orange, brown, yellow, deep black, white, green creams, beiges, coffee, taupe: they give a room wildness and predatory character. For accents walls, darker, warmer colours are used or deeper, richer colours like chocolate brown, reds, yellows or oranges are used. to make a more jungle look, green is a possibility. however, to mix the green with reds and oranges, does not give the intentional jungle effect. When creating an African effect, it is very important to use natural, very colourful fabric and natural components, such as wood, bumble and wicker. Walls with bright colours prescribe earth and nature. When designing an African floor, natural, dark and shadily effects are most effective. furthermore, the floor can be finished with natural hand - woven rugs with subtle neutral coloured cream, beige and brown colours. decorative or plain carpets can also be used alongside woollen rugs, sisal or sea-grass. The floor might also be finished with animals faux skin but sometimes this look makes the interior ostentatious and tacky. plain, hard wood flooring is the best, such as; teak, mahogany, bamboo, pine or really unusual wood zebrine. To create an African atmosphere, decoration in African style is very important. use African motif and objects inspired by African landscape, mystery and charm. Historical objects, tribal attributes, such as painted masks, sculpture, weapons, spears and bows complete the atmosphere of an African design. To put the finishing touches to an African style, furnishings should be considered. involve wooden flowerpots, bowls, colourful, flaming and huge paintings on the wall and creased elegant, curtains on the windows to make the space one of elegance and intrigue. On the windows, float white nets or voiles can also give a wonderful, light and airy effect whilst dark wood plantation shutters, or dark wood, slatted venetian blinds also add to the African effect. Furniture for African styles should look simple: plain or marbles furniture / light or dark/ from mahogany, teak or walnut in a rustic style. chairs and sofas should be finished with dark leather or natural fabric. Linens or cottons will complement the whole space. as a finishing touch, interior is enhanced with lush, leafy, green plants - to get a really authentic look.
