There are many different decorating and design styles available to choose from. Below are a few examples:


• Tuscan style – this style originated in a region of Italy where terracotta tiles are used both inside and outside the home. Ironwork (for furniture and burglar bars) is also featured alongside the earthy tones of the clay tiles.

• Modern style – this style is focused on simplicity and functionality. Features of this style include clean lines and neutral colours, along with the use of chrome and glass.

• Country style – this style can be achieved by using antique furniture and vintage pieces, combined with natural tones and soft colours.

• Rustic style – this style is characterised by wooden furniture showing imperfections in the grain, as well as wool and animal hides. This style can typically be seen in hunting lodges.

• Arts and crafts style – clean lines are mixed with rectangular shapes and home-made art pieces. The layout and decoration may also include recycled or repurposed furniture and other items.

• Eclectic style - this style is achieved by combining vintage pieces and bright colours.

• Asian style - Eastern cultures find beauty in simplicity and functionality. The Asian style is a minimalist one.

• Shabby chic style – this style focuses on soft pastels against white walls and ceilings. Vintage pieces and second hand furniture are used to present an elegant and slightly feminine look.
