Design Styles - Home Improvements Ideas

We would like to walk you through the following brief descriptions of the most popular interior design styles meant to give you an understanding and edge in choosing the look you would like your home to have.

MODERN

Modernist designs are known for their purist sensibilities including clean lines, spaciousness, and efficiency. It is a very popular style in Europe and North American condo living due to the spaciousness that it emphasizes. There is the absence of moldings and corbels, yet presence of very subtle textures, and nothing that creates a busy look.

Style is reflected through technological materials such as stainless steel, glass, plastic, smooth wood veneers and other sleek materials. High-gloss lacquer finishes, exotic wood veneers, and stainless steel accents create a high-tech look.

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary is of the moment. It is whatever’s different and what works for today. It’s uncluttered. Contemporary designs have some of the high-tech look and functionality of a modern design, but are not purist in style and design. One of the hallmarks of good contemporary design is its compatibility. In other words, pieces from different periods are combined to create a richer, more interesting look in a room.

In a contemporary space, it...s common to find a juxtaposition of styles such as an antique rug or historic wood table used with an ultra-modern sofa in a streamlined and technologically advanced space. All it takes is the confidence to play a little, and a new way of looking at things.

TRADITIONAL/CLASSIC kitchen

Ornamental elements such as moldings and posts are commonly used in a traditional design to reflect timeless elegance and sophistication. The classical style is represented by crown moldings, light valences, raised panel doors, columns with ornaments, hardwood flooring, and rich materials such as tumbled marble.kitchen

COUNTRY living room

The country style is a casual version of the traditional style. Materials that are hand made or

have a hand made look are preferred and have more variation. Worn and weathered items are celebrated and remove formality for a space. Itâ..s all about comfort.

Beforehand, the place that had the construction of the building have material limited glasses to office buildings and the skyscraper building. Trend used glasses has dropped by at the world of property of the house remained. Currently, glasses became the structure of the core and the element of the design for many houses remained. The use of glasses, from the aspect of information, very useful because of helping delivered the direct light of the sun rays into the house. Glasses could make the house be seen wider than original him. The house remained that used glasses to most of his buildings brought natural flow from outside inside, so as to give nuances of peacefulness as well as the clarity

The use of glasses as the building materials was not as expensive if you used the concrete as the main wall of the house. Glasses could in-recycle. Apart from cheap, also very environment-friendly. The increase in the use of glasses as the construction base of the house together with in line with the increase in the production and the glasses technology personally. Initially the person hesitant to use glasses as the construction base of the house building because of seeming the danger broke. However, together with the increase in the sophistication of technology, glasses in the modern time like at this time could be made stronger, safer, and efficient for energy. Previously glasses in housing only were limited by window glasses, as the place outside-entered air and the light.

Glasses as the element of exterior architecture in part were applied in the face part of a building, the roof, sky walks, the entrance, the door proceeded, the canopy, winter the curtain, and glass house the cultivation of the crop. All that enabled the sun rays to be able to enter generously. The appearance of the exterior then was still being seen more unique. Now for the interior, glasses were used to the ladder of the house, the proceeding path, as well as the wall.

Often that happened in greenhouse architecture was the effect was inside out, like hot in the cold and cold season in the hot season. The profit has had the progress in the production industry of glasses that also gave benefit to us. Some for example to be glasses with the selective quality of the spectrum that channeled the light into the house without endangering or giving the loss to occupants of this house as well as the other whole household
