In this series of two blogs, we’ll help you understand the different types of interior designs and find the look that’s right for your home.
- Traditional Interiors

The term usually refers to a home with clean and crisp lines, simple colours, and the use of metal, glass and steel materials in design.
Modern design style carries a sense of simplicity in every element, including the furniture and décor pieces. Sleek is the keyword that describes the modern style. This style is free of clutter or unnecessary accessories involved in design.

Contemporary designs are based on the here and now, they are more fluid and current, with less adherence to one particular style.
The contemporary design style borrows from various periods and creates an environment fit to last a lifetime. It reflects sleek and simple space with features like open layouts, detailed mouldings on walls and windows, contemporary furniture and clean lines are used to create a distinct space which gives a light and airy feel. A neutral colour palette is the most common feature for contemporary designs, used to create the perfect luxury modern interior.

Minimalist interiors take notion of modern design and simplify them further. The colour palettes are neutral and airy, patterns are nowhere to be found, texture is a used in large quantities while the furnishings are simple and streamlined. No excessive or flamboyant elements are used as accessories or décor.
