There are a variety of decorating themes, from formal to casual and everything in between. Which one best describes your decorating style?

Formal Traditional

Furniture and designs from the Renaissance, Baroque, Early and Late Georgian, Federal, Greek and Victorian eras. This style is showcased with fine furnishings, elegant, refined and exquisite wall coverings, elaborate moldings, formal window treatments, and oriental rugs.

Traditional informal

The same eras as the previous ones, but this style has less refined versions of furniture. There are more touchable elements, more earth colors, and some urban archeology without restoration is common. This style is comfortable and cozy.

American country

This style has furniture from the 17th century to the present, all simple with the appearance of handwork. Today two versions are popular: Upscale Country with the use of more tactile, comfortable elements and very close to the Informal Traditional but with a clear country theme in all the furniture; and Rustic Country, which sports a recycled and reused quality. The wall coverings and window treatments set the theme and the furnishings have a fresh-found feel to the antiques market.

French country

This style is showcased in classic, rococo, neoclassical, or empire-inspired rustic furniture. Wall coverings include flower, tick-tock, toile, and moire, depending on the level of formality.

Arts and Crafts

This simple style is also known as Early Modern or Organic Modern. The era focuses on hard and stained oak furniture with simple, straight lines.

Modern international

This is a look of ultra simplicity, hard lines and smooth surfaces that contrast with abstract patterns and unusual textures.

Environmental

The designs in this theme contain very subtle earth colors, textures and patterns.

Romantic victorian

This style remains a favorite room theme with many patterns featuring English garden flowers in dreamy colors. Both fabrics and wall coverings can be printed, and messy decoration, especially with accessories, is part of this style.

Ethnic and primitive

This masculine approach has many faces, from Africa to the American Southwest, from the appearance of a hostel to the southern seas. Heavy or tactile textures along with patterns that are charming due to their lack of sophistication fit in here.

Fabric and wallcovering themes

This is a wonderful way to decorate, selecting a great fabric or wallcovering that inherently presents a theme. Some examples include sea and coast, sports, outdoor recreation, kitchen or household items, youth items, feminine floral themes, exotic designs from distant lands, and more.
