5 DECORATION STYLES YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH

5 decoration styles with a very determined aesthetic and full of personality, we tell you their main characteristics and the tricks to achieve them.

1 The Charm of Scandinavian Style: Functionality and Luminosity

Scandinavian style, also known as Scandi, is a design trend that originated in Nordic countries such as Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Its most recognisable hallmark is the use of white, which maximises the entry of natural light into spaces. This style is based on the functionality of the furniture and seeks to create spacious and luminous environments. Textiles made from natural materials such as linen, wool and cotton add warmth, while wood and other elements add a touch of elegance.

2 Japandi Style: Serenity and Naturalness in your Home

The Japandi style fuses Japanese and Scandinavian styles in a perfect combination. With roots in Japanese wabi sabi philosophy and functional Scandinavian minimalism, this style creates soothing and warmly minimalist environments. Imperfect elements are highlighted as essential pieces and there is an abundance of handcrafted objects and designs that show the passage of time, as well as natural fibres and neutral tones. Pure, organic lines, along with the use of natural materials such as wood, jute, wicker and stone, offer a serene aesthetic. The focus on natural beauty is enhanced by the presence of plants, adding freshness and life to the décor.

The way one looks at things is of the utmost importance. Seeing is feeling with the eyes. – Axel Vervoordt

3 Eclectic Design, a Decoration of Contrasts

Eclectic design is a risky and personal decorative proposal. It is characterised by mixing different styles, creating a unique and fresh aesthetic. In this style, there are no established rules, breaking the rules becomes the norm. It mixes fabrics, textures and combines furniture from different periods and styles. In eclectic design, a sense of balance is essential. Although you combine diverse elements, it is important that there is a cohesion to the whole. You can achieve this through the use of colours, materials or finishes that unify the different pieces. It is the perfect style for those who want to break the rules and express their personality through design.

4 The Cosy Provençal style

Provençal style captures the rustic, romantic and vintage essence of the south-eastern region of France. Antiques, flowers, reclaimed furniture, antique patinas and pickling create a cosy and charming atmosphere. Natural fabrics such as cotton, wool or linen, wallpaper and soft colours add serenity and quality. An antique piece of furniture and a beautifully exposed crockery should not be missing in the kitchen. The Provençal style goes hand in hand with a country house of refined decadence, full of careful details.

5 Maximalist Style: A Visual Feast of Colour and Texture

Maximalism is all about abundance: lots of colour, prints and rich textures. Surrounding yourself with objets d’art, memorabilia and curiosities is key. Being maximalist means making sure every corner of the room is full of life and personality. It’s about mixing patterns and textures with consistent colour to create a unifying look. But watch out! Despite the seemingly chaotic appearance, every element of the ensemble is carefully calculated to achieve the right balance.
