10 Common Interior Decoration Design Styles

There are various interior design styles derived from architectural styles, and according to the different aesthetics and preferences of designers and owners, there are also various illusionary forms. Here, we will introduce 10 common interior design styles that are currently popular.

1. Classical style (luxury)

Decoration mostly pursues high quality. Interior decoration is often a special form of identity. Owners will demand that various designs symbolizing luxury be embedded in the decoration, and the main decoration method is basically to combine Baroque style with domestically existing materials.

2. Simple style (free spirited)

In the 1990s, there was a craze for home decoration in some areas. Due to limitations in technology and materials, there were no real designers in terms of design to provide home decoration guidance at that time, so being free to do as one pleases was the biggest portrayal at that time. Owners are beginning to pursue a clean and bright indoor effect. To this day, this style is still the first choice for most first-time home buyers when decorating.

3. Exquisite style (noble and solemn)

After nearly 10 years of exploration, with the improvement of the living standards of domestic residents and the increase in opening up to the outside world, people have begun to aspire to and pursue a high-quality life. Starting from the mid-1990s, people began to use exquisite decorative materials and furniture in their home decoration. Especially at this time, domestic designers entered the ranks of home decoration design, bringing a new decoration concept.

4. Natural style (artistic leisure)

The decoration craze that began in the 1990s brought people numerous decorative concepts. Previously unimaginable decorative techniques such as small gardens, cultural stone decorative walls, and rain flower stones have emerged in real design. Getting close to nature and returning to simplicity has become one of the goals that people pursue.

5. Light and lively style (bold and generous)

Starting from the mid-1990s, the design concept of home furnishings was greatly liberated, and people began to pursue various design methods. Among them, a series of relatively complete design systems such as modernism and postmodernism were formed in interior design. When people talk about decoration, these “isms” frequently appear on their lips. This style is mainly decorated with cherry wood as the main wood veneer.

6. Soft style (smooth and independent)

At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, a kind of club style design that pursues stability with a touch of luxury began to appear in model houses and office buildings of various real estate projects, and then appeared in large numbers in ordinary home decoration. This style emphasizes a relatively simple yet content rich decorative form, gradually forming a style with black walnut as the main wood decorative panel. Among them, minimalism and minimalism are beginning to emerge.

7. Elegant style (serene and gentle)

This is a design style that emerged at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, which is basically based on the woodworking method of using wallpaper as the main decorative surface material and combining it with mixed oil. This style emphasizes the harmony of proportion and color. People began to color the upper part of a wall the same as the ceiling, and use a wallpaper with a light texture on the wall surface. The entire style appears very elegant and serene, without any hint of restlessness.

8. Urban style (independent personality)

Entering the 21st century, the progress of housing reform and the emergence of numerous young first-time home buyers have injected momentum into the emergence of this style. Young people have just bought a house, and many of them are short of money. At this time, real estate is mainly dominated by rough houses, and these young people are forced to carry out a renovation revolution. Due to financial constraints, people began to emphasize the already “decorated” appearance through various forms, among which the extensive use of bright colors is a typical example. People often use a variety of colors in their homes, sometimes even using three or more colors in the same space.

9. Fresh style (light and freehand)

This is an interior design style with a “petty bourgeois” flavor derived from the influence of minimalism. Especially with the emergence of numerous single aristocrats, this petty bourgeois style has appeared extensively in various apartment renovations. Due to the fact that many times their residents do not have members such as the elderly and children, there is no need to consider numerous functional issues during decoration. They often emphasize a sense of casualness and indifference. A light white gauze curtain paired with a soft fabric sofa, and a pile of pillows of various colors piled up, create an indoor space full of lazy atmosphere.

10. Chinese style (fresh and elegant)

With the emergence of numerous modernists, a retro style has emerged in China, which is the revival of Chinese decorative styles. Chinese painting, calligraphy and painting, as well as Ming and Qing furniture, constitute the most important elements of Chinese design. But these vintage furniture items are expensive, becoming a major obstacle for enthusiasts.
