The modern design style is characterised by straight lines, sleek shapes and muted colours like black, white and grey. It makes for a minimalist and sophisticated look and tends to leave room for luxurious accents, such as chrome fittings and decor. Glass lighting complements this aesthetic particularly well too.

Dark and bold, the industrial style originates from New York warehouses converted into makeshift lofts and to this day implements that raw and unfinished look. You’ll often find that exposed metal pipes, mismatched wood and even brick or stone walls form a large part of this urban and youthful design style.

The queen of cosy interior styles, the Scandinavian aesthetic loves bright, airy rooms with lots of comfy arrangements. If you opt for this look, you’ll want to keep your walls white or a pale pastel shade to reflect natural light, then get hold of rugs and cushions and dot the space with some plants. Make sure to always keep things simple, as clutter is a big no-no in a Scandinavian-style home.

Reminiscent of lonely cabins in the woods and misty hiking trips through the forest, the rustic style incorporates plenty of wood and the occasional stone wall. You’ll want to take the opposite of the modern route, opting instead for second-hand furniture and reclaimed wood for your floors. If you’re creative and know your way around tools, handmade furnishings and decor go especially well with this interior style.

Not one for the faint of heart, the eclectic style is whatever you want it to be, as long as it steps outside the box. It is characterised by implementing a little bit of everything, from industrial-style tables to Scandinavian shelving, plus a considerable amount of colour for good measure. Second-hand or vintage furnishings in all shapes and sizes tend to be staples in eclectic homes, while art pieces that hold personal value often round off this quirky aesthetic.
