Decorative styles

Deciding how to decorate your home can be just as exciting as it is stressful… Classic or rustic? Minimalist or industrial? Or what if I just mix everything together and call it “stylish chaos”?

If you’re feeling lost in this sea of options, don’t worry. Today I’ll walk you through the most iconic styles in a clear, drama-free way so you can find the one that suits you (and your home) best. Because yes, decorating isn’t just about taste—it’s about creating a space that tells your story and makes you feel at ease. And hey, if your guests are left speechless too, all the better!

To help you find the style that fits you best, today we’re exploring six iconic options: classic, rustic, Mediterranean, minimalist, industrial, and Nordic.

Shall we begin?

YOUR HOME IS NOT JUST A SPACE, IT IS A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE

Classic style

part 1

Classic is synonymous with sophistication and symmetry.

It stands out thanks to period furniture, curved elements, art pieces, and loads of textiles.
Architecture plays a fundamental role here, with common features like walls adorned with moldings, baseboards, and wallpaper.

If you love elegance that never goes out of style, this is your go-to.

Rustic style

Ideal for those seeking authenticity and comfort.

This style embraces the countryside and natural beauty, featuring raw materials like wood and stone.

The color palette mirrors nature: browns, earth tones, greens…

Built-in furniture is common, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. And yes, a fireplace is always a bonus.

Mediterranean style

Mediterranean style celebrates brightness and a fresh feel, with large windows and open spaces.

Blue reigns supreme, evoking the sea and sky, while nautical and ethnic touches add personality. Textiles, both plain and patterned—especially stripes—play a big role.

Perfect if you want to feel like it’s summer all year round.

Minimalist style

The classic “less is more.”

This style is all about pure forms—straight lines, spacious layouts, and high ceilings. Clean, simple, and calm.

The furniture tends to be modern and designer-inspired.

Nowadays, the minimalist look has evolved into a warmer version while still keeping its orderly, sophisticated essence.

Industrial style

Inspired by old factories, this style features open-plan layouts and materials like brick, concrete, cement, and metal.

It offers a modern, urban look full of personality.

Nordic style

Straight from Scandinavia, this style is practical and cozy.

Nordic interiors are full of light and neutral tones. Furniture is simple and functional, often made of soft, light wood. Patterns are rare, and when present, they’re usually geometric. It embraces decoration—just without overdoing it.

This style creates a bright, functional home with that relaxed feel everyone loves.

And that’s a wrap on this first dose of decor inspiration. Six styles, six ways of living at home, and thousands of ways to make them your own.
The key isn’t following a design rulebook to the letter, but choosing what truly makes you feel good.

And don’t worry! If none of these quite hit the mark, the next part will dive into bolder, more unconventional styles.

In the meantime, experiment, explore, be bold… and above all, have fun decorating!

See you soon!
