I cater to the the shabby chic lifestyle and it has taken on a modern edge for those that aren’t into the ruffles and foo foo and my client list is certainly growing. But the great thing is that there is a place for everyone’s favorite styles!

Lets say I chose a style I liked, and I knew it was the one for me. Where would I start? There are so many pieces with in a style, so many options. Where would I start so I can narrow them down and create a well designed room?

I happen to mix a lot of bold colors, and go for more of an eclectic style. I’m constantly changing my mind too..
I do feel that being unique is a whole statement on your own. You pointed out some very nice and clear decorating tips there! I enjoy reading your blog!
The Modern look feels and seems cold or slightly stiff and uncozy. However, I clearly understand that a modern look is less cluttered and easier to sanitize! Wouldn’t you agree?
Your post is very useful, thank you!

In the latest home styles the category of themed home styles is also very popular like floral themed home style. I have also checked the above mentioned styles and among them I really like French style designs because they are western style designs.

Yes, it is true the Shabby Chick is the best style to decorate walls and furniture. From last 6 years I never changed this style. Light colors always fascinating me to boost my creativity. So everyone must try Shabby Chic Style and see the difference.

Art Deco, Art Deco, Art Deco! Sometimes I think I was born 70 years too late. I can’t imagine how impressive my favorite art deco buildings would be when accompanied by an art deco interior.

You know what I just love. Those decorating shows. You can learn a thing or two watching those shows. I’m so much more crafty with years and years of watching them.

I just love the old fashion styles mainly from the European areas. I just about love all the colors you can find too.

I agree that Shabby Chic Style will be the next trend, mainly because nowadays people preffe minimalistic and clean styles.

Wooden elements It isn’t the polical correct choise.

I think paint colors is the most factor that affects some home decoration styles. It always define the theme of each home deco.

I think the most appealing styling is the one that supports the site concept. A lot of glamour just distracts the viewers. Imho.

I prefer to go for home decorating styles that are not so popular. I like to try and be different when it comes to decorating the house.

Tho saying that I do like the sound of the rustic style as it sounds warm and comfortable. Maybe?

My husband and I bought our home last summer and haven’t really had the money to do much decorating, but we’ve got some really good ideas. We’ll probably go with something French Countryside since we live in an area where a lot of tourists have summer homes.

Great Post. Almost everyone needs to understand the different types of style if they want to grow out of the “student style” of decorating.

We have seen a TON of homes featuring the “French Country” look, we shot quit a few weddings last year in homes that are designed with this style. To see some pics check out: Nashville Wedding Photography

I like unexpected “things” in our home. I have a georgous antique picture frame w/out a picture in our entry w/a wreath in the center. I have large pictures on the floor w/a plate stand. An old antique outside door leaning against our back fence w/a huge wreath. Just a few of the whimsical things around.

With four children and a limited budget my house is decorated in early disaster. It’s more of a pragmatic approach to decorating, hide the pens, pencils and markers and keep a large supply of paint on hand.

You have to do what you love, if you hate it and it is popular still don’t do it, love it and decorate that way, than you will always love it. Plus the fads go in and out like wood on the wall ugly.

I like Shabby Chic style, you cannot go wrong with bright colors for the kitchen and living room. Something of a milder relaxing palette will do for your bedrooms.

I like the more modern look myself. I do agree that you see a lot of the “melting pot” type design and decoration schemes in more and more homes.

Its best to always go for something traditional/classic in the hope that it will never go out of fashion.

I like Rustic and Art Deco myself. A combination of both, with a bit of “New York loft apartment” thrown in

Each style has a certain group of people but the most popular is St.. My house is furnished in traditional style and it is my favorite style. This is the most expensive style house furniture, but it is always in the trends.

My style will always reflect the place where I’m living in the moment. Being a person that come from 3 different countries and cultures I like to have the style that best fits in every place. When I’m in our house in Switzerland ( in the mountains , little town, lakes and forest around it) we decided to go with the French country style. In Brazil we have our house on the beach and the decoration is very close to the condos on the beach that you can find in Florida. In America we keep the Shabby Chic Style :). Loved the post! Thanks!

I’m a big fan of traditional - I love all that dark wood, leather, and plush materials.

I think it gives a sense of lushness, or maybe extravagance.

Well Its like this. i can’t get behind any formal style. I just go for a look I like. I kind of mish mash everything and hope for the best. Sometimes it works and other times it… Well lets just say that I must have been trippen… Anyway To me it’s not what you live in but how you live while you are there.
